was asked to see Resident #156 due to CRAB positive. Resident #156's plan was to continue infection
prevention measures, hand hygiene, environmental cleaning and Resident #156 was placed on enhanced
barrier precautions (EBP).
Interview on 11/06/23 at 9:34 A.M. of Licensed Practical Nurse/Staff Development/Infection Preventionist
(LPN/SD/IP) #526 revealed the facility had quite a few residents positive with CRAB, and it had been going
on for months. LPN/SD/IP #526 stated the Cuyahoga County Board of Health and Ohio Department of
Health visited the facility on 04/2023 and gave recommendations and guidance for CRAB. LPN/SD/IP #526
stated she received a call from the Ohio Department of Health and Cuyahoga County Board of Health on
09/26/23. LPN/SD/IP #526 stated she was advised by the Ohio Department of Health and the Cuyahoga
County Board of Health to test all the residents in the facility for CRAB. LPN/SD/IP #526 indicated most of
the residents (some refused) were tested for CRAB over a three-day period from 10/16/23 through
10/18/23. LPN/SD/IP #526 revealed eight residents (Resident #57, #61, #92, #101, #113, #114, #155 and
#156) tested positive for CRAB and were placed in private rooms or cohorted in a semi-private room.
LPN/SD/IP #526 stated none of the eight residents who tested positive for CRAB had symptoms.
LPN/SD/IP #526 stated staff washed their hands and wore isolation gowns and gloves when providing
resident care for residents positive for CRAB. LPN/SD/IP #526 stated the facility was going to retest the
residents in six months for CRAB.
Observation on 11/07/23 at 9:10 A.M. of Resident #156's room revealed there was a small red sign to the
right of the door which stated to Ask the Nurse before entering the room. There were personal protective
equipment (PPE) supplies on the door to the room including isolation gowns. Further observation revealed

isolation gown and was leaning over Resident #156's bed and applying cream to Resident #156's right and
left buttocks and upper thighs. MT #487's clothing was touching Resident #156's bed while she applied the
cream. When asked about the sign and PPE on the door to Resident #156's room MT #487 stated Resident
#156 did not have CRAB and that was why she did not have an isolation gown on. WP #588 stated
Resident #156's roommate (Resident #114, also positive for CRAB) had some kind of urine bacteria and
that was what the PPE was for. WP #588 stated Resident #114 was not in the room, so it was not a
problem. Observation revealed Resident #114 was not in the room.
Interview on 11/07/23 at 11:04 A.M. of RN/WN #447 confirmed Resident #156 was CRAB positive and she

Residents Affected - Some
measures the facility should take. When asked if there should have been additional testing, screening when
there were CRAB positive cases in 05/2023 and 08/2023 Medical Director #589 stated he could not recall
anything regarding what was done about CRAB in the facility, and he could not comment on the residents
who were positive in May and August 2023, and he could not comment if screening should have been done

pits. Resident #155 indicated a person came by with the results and told him he would be tested again.
Resident #155 stated he was not told he should do anything like washing his hands before leaving his room
or to do anything different than he had been doing before he tested positive. Resident #155 confirmed he
did not wash his hands before leaving his room.
Review of the facility policy titled Isolation Precautions dated 06/08/22 included it was the policy of the
facility, when necessary, to prevent the transmission of infections within the facility using Isolation
Precautions. The 2007 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for Isolation
Precautions would be utilized in the facility with some modifications. In addition to Standard Precautions,
use Contact Precautions for residents known or suspected to be infected with microorganisms that could be
easily transmitted by direct or indirect contact, such as handling environmental surfaces or resident-care
areas. In some instances, residents colonized with these organisms may

Residents Affected - Some
also require Contact Precautions. The above includes epidemiologically important organisms
(multidrug-resistant organisms). Handwashing (hand hygiene) was the single most important precaution to
prevent the transmission of infection from one person to another. Wash hands with soap and water before
and after each resident contact and after contact with resident belongings and equipment. Alcohol-based
hand rub could be used if hands were not visibly soiled. All personal protective equipment should be used
once and discarded in either the trash or used linen receptacle before leaving the room.
Review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Information for facilities titled CRAB
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, An Urgent Public Health Threat included Acinetobacter
baumannii was a species of bacteria that was an opportunistic pathogen. It could cause a variety of
different types of infections. Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) don't respond
to common antibiotics and some CRAB were resistant to all available antibiotics.
Carbapenemase-producing CRAB had the potential to spread rapidly and was frequently associated with
outbreaks. CRAB spreads through direct and indirect contact with patients infected or colonized with CRAB
or contaminated environmental surfaces and equipment. It was usually transmitted from person to person,
often via the hands of healthcare personnel or on contaminated shared medical equipment like blood
pressure machines. CRAB could cause large outbreaks in healthcare facilities. Colonization meant that an
organism was found in or on the body but was not causing any symptoms or disease. CRAB primarily
colonized the digestive tract, respiratory tract, skin, and, or wounds but could colonize other body sites.
Patients who were colonized with CRAB could be a source of spread to other patients. They were also at
higher risk of developing CRAB infection than patients who were not colonized. And because patients
colonized with CRAB don't have signs or symptoms, CRAB colonization could go undetected and
contribute to silent spread of resistant bacteria. Colonization was detected by a screening test for patients
and residents who were at risk of CRAB colonization or infection. Follow public health recommendations for
CRAB colonization screening. Wear a gown and gloves when caring for patients with CRAB. CRAB could
contaminate your hands and clothes while you care for a patient infected or colonized with CRAB or work in
their environment. This puts the patients you care for afterward at risk of getting CRAB.
Review of the CDC's Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Use in Nursing Homes to
Prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs) included Contact Precautions were intended to
prevent transmission of infectious agents, like MDROs, that were spread by direct or indirect contact with
the resident or the resident's environment. Contact Precautions required the use of gown and gloves on
every entry into a resident's room. The resident was given dedicated equipment (e.g., stethoscope and
blood pressure cuff) and was placed into a private room. When private rooms were not available, some
residents (for example, residents with the same pathogen) may be cohorted, or grouped together.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00147595.
