Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, staff interview, medical record review, and policy review, the facility failed to wear appropriate
personal protective equipment for residents on enhanced barrier precautions and failed to maintain proper
infection control measures related to hand hygiene during wound care. This affected one (#16) of three
residents reviewed for wounds. The facility census was 55.Findings include:Review of Resident #16's
medical record revealed an admission date of 10/02/20. Diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis
following a cerebrovascular accident, epilepsy, and cellulitis of the scrotum.Review of Resident #16's
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively intact and had
one surgical wound.Review of Resident #16's hospital note dated 08/15/25 revealed the resident had a
large abscess in his scrotum. A scrotal exploration, incision, and drainage was completed of the abscess.
The wound was irrigated and necrotic tissue was debrided. The wound was packed with wet to dry
Iodoform gauze.Review of Resident #16's physician order dated 02/08/25 revealed the resident was to be
under enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) which included staff wearing gloves and gown with treatment
and/or care.Review of Resident #16's physician's order dated 09/25/25 revealed an order to place gauze
packing strips (Iodoform) one-half inch and apply once daily and as needed if saturated, soiled, or
dislodged for 20 days. There were also instructions to pack the entire wound loosely.Observation on
09/26/25 at approximately 12:15 P.M. of the signage alerting visitors and staff to the EBPs for Resident #16
revealed a white magnetic sign was attached to the upper right side of the resident's door frame and the
sign had the letters EBP at the top and contained pictures of handwashing, a gown, and gloves.
Observation on 09/26/25 at 12:19 P.M. of Resident #16's wound care revealed the Director of Nursing
(DON) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200 completed scrotal wound care wearing only protective
gloves. Additional observations revealed LPN #200 assisted the DON with wound care and touched the tray
tables, the resident's sheets, and bed then reached with the same gloved fingers into the bottle of Iodoform
and pulled out the dressing. LPN #200 then handed the packing to the DON who placed the Iodoform in
Resident #16's wound and packed it with a large cotton swab.Interview with the DON and LPN #200 on
09/26/25 at 12:33 P.M. verified they failed to wear gowns during Resident #16's wound care and confirmed
proper infection control measures were not maintained when the same gloves used to touch contaminated
surfaces were used to directly touch and handle clean wound dressing without cleansing hands and
changing gloves. Review of the facility policy titled, Isolation Precautions Process, revised 08/01/22,
revealed enhanced barrier precautions will be utilized for residents with wounds. Elements of enhanced
barrier precautions included hand washing and gloves and gowns should be worn during high-contact
resident care which included wound care (skin opening requiring a dressing). Signage will be posted at the
entry to the resident's room to alert them of the need to consult the nurse prior to entering with the nurse
providing appropriate personal protective equipment instruction.This deficiency represents non-compliance
investigated under Master Complaint Number 2611062.
