hospital are reviewed at the corporate level, then the information from the referral staff will need emailed to
the DON to ensure items are ordered for residents. The DON stated in the email she received from
corporate, there was not a request for Resident #94 to receive a CPAP. The DON stated once residents
have been admitted from the hospital, she reviews the hospital after visit summary to ensure all items are in
place. The DON confirmed the after visit summary had an order for Resident #94 to have a CPAP but the
DON stated it was inaccurate and there was another after visit summary in the medical record somewhere
and she would find it. The DON confirmed she was not able to locate the correct after visit summary.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, staff interview, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed
to ensure proper infection control techniques were followed during pressure ulcer wound care. This affected
one resident (#23) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The census was 93.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #23's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included Parkinson's Disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure
(CHF), high blood pressure and diabetes. Review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed her cognition
was intact, she had an indwelling urinary catheter and was incontinent of bowel. A Stage IV pressure ulcer
was identified.
Review of the Physicians orders dated 01/30/24 revealed an order to cleanse the wound with 1/4 strength
Dakin's solution, pat dry, apply hydrofiber with silver, and cover with clean dry dressing once a day and
when needed (PRN).
On 09/09/24 at 11:05 A.M. observation of a dressing change to Resident #23 by Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) #153 revealed the LPN washed his hands and put on gloves, he removed the old dressing with a
small amount of serosanguineous drainage. LPN #153 them removed his gloves and washed his hands
and put on new gloves. LPN #153 cleansed the wound with Dakins (a diluted bleach solution used to
prevent and treat skin and tissue infections) soaked gauze, then patted dry with a clean gauze. LPN #153
then removed his gloves and without washing his hands put on new gloves. LPN #153 cleaned his scissors
with an alcohol pad and cut the hydrofiber (absorbent material that transforms into a gel on contact with
wound fluid. It locks in exudate, traps bacteria, contours to wound bed, and maintains moisture balance in
the wound bed) and placed in the wound and covered with a foam dressing. LPN #153 then removed his
gloves and gathered supplies and left the room. Interview with LPN #153 at 11:12 A.M. verified he had not
washed his hands in between glove changes.
Review of the Wound Care policy and procedure (not dated) revealed after cleansing the wound wash your
hands and put on exam gloves prior to applying ointment/dressing per physician orders.
This deficiency represents incidental findings of non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number
OH00157065, Complaint Number OH00157063, and Complaint Number OH00157053.
