Further observation revealed brownish/red colored dried debris on a washcloth that had been placed below Resident #3's tracheostomy. The same brownish/red colored dried debris was also observed on Resident #3's gown, pillowcase and sheets.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, record review, policy review and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, the facility failed to ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) was worn while providing direct care when there was a risk of splash or spray, failed to ensure appropriate glove use and hand hygiene, and failed to prevent the possibility of cross contamination when using a soiled washcloth to clean an oxygen mask and around a tracheostomy. This affected one resident (#3) of one resident observed for tracheostomy care. The facility census was 74. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #3's medical records revealed an admission date of 07/31/24.

LPN #849 proceeded to remove a soiled washcloth from underneath Resident #3's tracheostomy and used it to clean the inside of Resident #3's oxygen mask. Resident #3 began coughing expelling a large amount of thick green colored sputum from his tracheostomy and LPN #849 used the same washcloth to wipe away the mucus and clean around Resident #3's tracheostomy. Without changing her gloves or washing her hands, LPN #849 proceeded to fill the water canister, used for humidification for Resident #3's oxygen, with a gallon of distilled water.
