Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as interviews with staff, it was determined that the
facility failed to maintain professional practices that support infection prevention and control for three of 33
residents reviewed (Residents 7, 11, and 26). Findings include:The facility policy regarding hand hygiene,
dated April 3, 2026, included that hand hygiene is a general term for cleaning your hands with soap and
water or the use of an antiseptic hand rub. The use of gloves does not replace hand hygiene. If the task
requires gloves, perform hand hygiene prior to donning gloves, and immediately after removing gloves. The
facility policy regarding medication administration, dated April 3, 2026, included that medications are
administered by licensed nurses or other staff that are licensed to do so in this state, as ordered by the
physician and in accordance with professional standards of practice, in a manner to prevent contamination
or infection. Wash hands prior to administering medication per facility policy and product. Remove
medication from its source, taking care not to touch medication with bare hands. The facility policy
regarding enhanced barrier precautions (EBP), dated April 3, 2026, revealed that the facility would
implement enhanced barrier precautions for the prevention of transmission of multi-drug-resistant
organisms (MDRO). Enhanced barrier precautions refer to the use of a gown and gloves for use during
high-contact resident care activities for residents known to be colonized or infected with a MDRO as well as
those at an increased risk of MDRO acquisition (e.g. residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices).
The facility was to make gowns and gloves available immediately outside of the resident's room. High
contact care activities include wound care: any skin opening requiring dressing. EBP will be used for the
