direct care staffing information on the schedule specified by CMS, but no less frequently than quarterly.

or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, observations, and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to
implement enhanced barrier precautions for four of seventeen residents reviewed (Resident R36, R50,
R24, R48).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings Include:
Review of facility policy Enhanced Barrier Precautions - Skilled Nursing reviewed July 2, 2024, revealed the
facility will utilize enhanced barrier precautions to prevent the spread of multidrug resistant organisms
(MDRO). Enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) expand the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
beyond situations in which exposure to blood and bodily fluids is anticipated. Enhanced barrier precautions
include the use of a gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities for residents with, but not
limited to, wounds and/or indwelling medical devices regardless of infection status and MDRO colonization.
Further review of facility policy revealed gloves, and gown should be available immediately outside the
resident room, a waste container should be near the exit of the resident room, and EBP signage should be
posted for the resident room.
Review of Resident R36's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated resident assessment
and care screening) dated April 1, 2025, revealed the resident had an indwelling catheter (also known as
foley catheter - a flexible tube placed through the urethra into the bladder to help urinate and collect urine
into a drainage bag).
Review of Resident R50's quarterly MDS dated [DATE], revealed the resident had pressures ulcers (an
open ulcer, the appearance of which will vary depending on the stage).
Review of facility wound report dated April 13, 2025, confirmed Resident R50 had an arterial ulcer (open
wounds caused by poor blood flow) on the right heel, and a stage III pressure ulcer (characterized by full
thickness skin loss and visible fat tissue) on the sacrum.
Review of Resident R36's and R50's clinical records, including physician orders and comprehensive care
plans, revealed no documented evidence enhanced barrier precautions were implemented in the plan of
care.
Observations on April 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. revealed no evidence that signage was placed on Resdient
R36's and R50's door to indicate that the resident's required enhanced barrier precautions. Further
observations revealed no gowns or a waste container were available immediatey outside/near the exit of
Resdient R36's and R50's doors.
Interview and observation on April 21, 2025, at 11:02 a.m. with Resident R36 confirmed the resident still
had a catheter. When questioned, Resident R36 denied that staff wear a gown when providing care.
Interview on April 21, 2025, at 11:07 a.m. with Licensed Nurse, Employee E3, revealed the employee was
unaware of any residents on the ground floor nursing unit that were on enhanced barrier precautions.
