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
review of facility policy, clinical record review, observation, and interview with staff, it was determined that
the facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices related to hand hygiene and wound care for
one of 24 residents reviewed (Resident R39).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of facility policy titled Wound Care Policy and Procedure, dated May 2023, revealed that wound
care is to be done following aseptic technique.
Review of the Pennsylvania Department of Health document titled Wound Care Observation Checklist for
Infection Control, dated April 2018, revelaed that gloves should be changed and hand hygiene performed
when moving from dirty to clean wound care activities.
Review of clinical documentation for Resident R39 revealed that she had an unstageable, facility acquired
pressure ulcer on her right calf (an injury formed by pressure on the skin, classified into stages based on
the depth of the wound and the layers of skin, fat and muscle involved; wounds are unstageable when they
contain too much dead tissue to visualize the base of the wound) first identified on April 10, 2023. Other
wounds present from admission included a stage 4 pressure ulcer (a wound that is completely through the
skin and involving the underlying fat and muscle tissue) on her sacrum, unstageable pressure wounds to
both of her heels, a deep tissue injury (a pressure related wound with intact skin) of the side of her left
great toe, and a non-pressure related wound of her right second toe.
Continued review revealed that Resident R39 was admitted on [DATE], and had diagnoses including, but
not limited to, stage 4 pressure ulcer of sacral region, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, peripheral
vascular disease, unspecified, and muscle weakness.
Observation of wound care for Resident R39 was conducted on July 14, 2023, at 9:55 a.m. with Employee
E14, the wound care Registered Nurse for the facility. Employee E14 prepared a clean field and assembled
the wound care supplies for Resident R39. Supplies assembled included two open packages containing
partial sheets of DermaGinate/Ag dressing (a highly absorbent dressing which is used for wounds with
secretions, which is also infused with silver as an antimicrobial agent), normal saline solution, rolled gauze,
skin prep pads (premedicated towelettes which are applied to create a barrier against moisture, adhesive or
friction), two foam dressings with adhesive borders which had been labeled with the current date, several
2x2s (two cm long by two cm wide gauze pads), several 4x4s (four cm long by four cm wide gauze pads),
cotton tipped applicators, and Santyl ointment (an ointment which is used to help breakdown dead tissue in
a wound to allow the wound to heal). Interview with Employee E14 at this time of the observation revealed
that the DermaGinate/Ag dressings had been opened and partially used during previous wound care, and
that the remaining product had been saved for future use. She also stated that sacral wound treatment was
performed by the prior shift.
Employee E14 performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She removed the soiled dressing from
Resident R39's right calf, then she performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She used a 4x4
soaked with saline to cleanse the wound. At this time, she did not perform hand hygiene and put on clean
gloves. She used a cotton applicator to apply Santyl to the wound bed, applied a 2x2 soaked with saline,
applied skin prep to the area around the wound, and covered it with a foam dressing.

Employee E14 performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She removed the soiled dressing from
R39's right second toe, then she performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She used a 4x4 soaked
with saline to cleanse the wound. At this time, she did not perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves.
She used a cotton applicator to apply Santyl to the wound bed, applied a dry 2x2, and tape which had
previously been labeled with the current date.

E14 performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She removed the soiled dressing from R39's right
heel, then she performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She used a 4x4 soaked with saline to
cleanse the wound. At this time, she did not perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She then
applied DermaGinate/Ag to the wound, covered it with and ABD and wrapped it with rolled gauze and
secured it with tape labeled with the current date.
Employee E14 performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She removed the soiled dressing from the
base of R39's left great toe, then she performed hand hygiene and put on clean gloves. She applied skin
prep to the area and covered it with a foam dressing. At this time, she did not perform hand hygiene and put
on clean gloves.
Employee E14 removed the soiled dressing from R39's left heel, then she performed hand hygiene and put
on clean gloves. She used a 4x4 soaked with saline to cleanse the wound, then performed hand hygiene
and put on clean gloves. She then applied DermaGinate/Ag to the wound, covered it with an ABD and
wrapped it with rolled gauze and secured it with tape labeled with the current date.
Employee E14 gathered the trash and placed it in the waste basket, removed her gloves and placed them
in the waste basket as well. She then removed the bag from the room and placed it in an appropriate
receptacle and performed hand hygiene.
As noted above, Employee E14 did not perform hand hygiene at four separate opportunities during wound
care for Resident R39. The DermaGinate/Ag that was used was residual product from a package that had
been previously opened and exposed to air. Alginate dressings should not be saved after opening as they
absorb moisture from the air which can compromise their integrity. Also, once a sealed, single use package
has been opened, any remaining product should be disposed of as exposure to the air and other surfaces
can potentially introduce infectious agents to the product.
Following wound care observations, interview with Licensed staff, Employee E14 on July 14, 2023 at 10:15
a.m. confirmed that she did not perform hand hygiene at the opportunities noted above.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on July 14, 2023, 10:45 a.m. confirmed that the missed opportunities
for hand hygiene by E14, as well as the use of dressings from a previously opened package constituted a
breach in infection control practices.
