Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to
ensure appropriate measures were taken which identified Resident #7 as requiring isolation-based
precautions for COVID-19 and staff donned appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when
entering Resident #7's room. This affected 25 residents who resided on the South unit where Resident #7
resided (Residents #2, #9, #10, #12, #15, #16, #18, #19, #20, #21, #25, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33,
#34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, and #41).
Residents Affected - Some
Facility census was 43.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #7 revealed an admission date of 04/27/23 with diagnoses
including acute respiratory failure, dysphagia, right rib fracture, anemia, anxiety, and encounter for surgical
aftercare. Further review of the diagnoses revealed a newly added diagnosis of COVID-19 on 09/04/24.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment completed 06/28/24 revealed Resident
#7 had intact cognition, and a primary medical condition listed as debility and cardiorespiratory conditions.
Review of the care plan dated 04/27/23 revealed Resident #7 was tested and confirmed to have COVID-19
on 09/04/24 and the facility staff were to follow facility policy and Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) guidelines for isolation precautions related to COVID-19.
Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 09/05/24 timed at 3:00 P.M. stating Resident #7
required isolation and observation due to positive COVID status and that medications and activities were to
be completed in the resident's room every shift for COVID until 09/14/24 at 11:59 P.M.
Observation on 09/11/24 from 8:39 A.M. to 8:44 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #443
entered the room of Resident #7 and asked if he had any pain, exited the resident's room, began preparing
medications for administration, re-entered Resident #7's room, administered his medication, and returned
to the medication cart. LPN #443 was observed wearing a surgical-style mask, no gown, and no gloves.
Further observation revealed LPN #443 did not don or doff additional PPE prior to first entry into Resident
#7's room, in-between first and second entry, or after exiting Resident #7's room.
Observation of Resident #7's room on 09/11/24 at 9:10 A.M. revealed PPE was available in an organizer

F 0880
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
precautions were required to enter Resident #7's room. Interview with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA)
#455, who was passing by Resident #7's room at the time of the observation, confirmed Resident #7 tested
positive for COVID-19 and was in isolation. Further interview with STNA #455 further confirmed staff and
visitors were required to wear an N95 mask, a gown, and gloves when entering the room of Resident #7.
Interview on 09/11/24 at 9:12 A.M. with Resident #7 confirmed he had COVID-19 with cold-like symptoms
and he was supposed to stay in his room. Resident #7 further confirmed staff usually wore the N95 masks,
a gown, and gloves when they came into his room, but the nurse did not wear those items when he
received his medications during the surveyor's observation.
Observation and interview on 09/11/24 at 10:45 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed there
was no signage on Resident #7's door indicating what type of precautions were required and that he was
supposed to have a sign indicating he was under contact and droplet isolation precautions. During the
interview at 10:45 A.M., the DON confirmed Resident #7 was to remain in isolation for ten days and the
nurse who had taken the sign down had been re-educated on the facility's policy and procedure for
residents who test positive for COVID-19, but did not verify the sign was replaced.
Interview on 09/11/24 at 10:48 A.M. with LPN #443 revealed she was not aware Resident #7 had tested
positive for COVID-19. During the interview, LPN #443 confirmed she did not don all the PPE required for
entering a COVID-19 positive room and since she was unaware of Resident #7's current COVID-19 positive
status, she did not direct anyone else entering the room on the necessary PPE.
Review of the policy titled COVID-19 Prevention, Response, and Reporting, last revised 07/01/24, revealed
the facility would establish measures to identify and manage residents with suspected or confirmed
COVID-19, including communication of the resident's status and visual alerts, such as signs or posters,
with instructions about infection control recommendations. The policy further stated the facility was to
ensure staff who entered the room of a resident with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 donned a
NIOSH-approved respirator with N95 filters or higher, a gown, gloves, and eye protection. The duration of
isolation precautions for residents who tested positive and experience mild to moderate symptoms was to
be at least 10 days after the symptoms first appeared, at least 24 hours since the last fever without the use
of fever-reducing medications, and symptoms had improved. After providing care for a COVID-19 positive
individual, staff were to remove and discard the N95 mask and don a new one.
Review of the facility census sheet revealed Residents #2, #7, #9, #10, #12, #15, #16, #18, #19, #20, #21,
#25, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, and #41 resided on the South unit.
