Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on a comprehensive review of clinical records, observations, and interviews with residents and staff, it was determined that the facility failed to consistently implement and maintain infection control practices, thereby risking the potential spread of infection for one resident requiring contact precautions (a method to prevent the transmission of infectious agents spread by direct or indirect contact with the patient or the patient's environment) out of 32 residents sampled (Resident 90).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of the facility's policy Transmission-Based Precautions and Isolation Policy with a revision date of March 3, 2024, states that Contact precautions also apply where the presence of excessive wound drainage, urine, or fecal incontinence, or other discharges from the body suggest an increased potential for environmental contamination and risk of transmission. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended includes gloves and gowns. Review of the CONTACT PRECAUTIONS sign reveals instructions for all personnel to clean their hands before entering and leaving the room, and for providers and staff to don gloves and gowns before room entry and discard them before room exit. A review of Resident 90's clinical medical record revealed a progress note dated March 28, 2024 at 1:01 p.m. stating Resident 90's urinary analysis (UA) came back positive for Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase e-coli (ESBL, are enzymes produced by certain bacteria, including Escherichia coli that make bacteria resistant to certain antibiotic medicines) (Escherichia-coli, is a group of bacteria that can cause infections in one's gut, urinary tract and other parts of your body). During a tour of nursing unit East on April 2, 2024, at 10:31 a.m., it was observed that the PPE station, including gloves, gowns, and face shields, was available, but the contact precaution sign was placed face down on top of the container outside Resident 90's room. Additional observations conducted on nursing unit East on April 2, 2024, at 10:33 a.m. revealed three nursing staff performing incontinence care (helping an individual with any type of urinary or bowel leakage to maintain their health, and wellbeing) on Resident 90 with only gloves on. Observations conducted on April 3, 2024, at 9:36 a.m., witnessed a nursing staff exiting Resident 90's room holding soiled bed linens without wearing a gown. Additional observations of Resident 90's room on April 3, 2024, at 9:39 a.m. observed two nursing staff entering Resident 90's room without washing their hands or dawning PPE. At 9:35 a.m. licensed practical nurse (LPN) licensed employee (E4) exited Resident 90's room without washing her hands. Interview conducted with licensed employee E4 on April 3, 2024, at 9:35 a.m. revealed E4 was unaware resident 90 was on contact precautions or that Resident 90's UA returned positive for ESBL E-coli. Interview conducted with Infection Preventionist (IP) licensed employee (E3) on April 3, 2024, at 1:18 p.m. confirmed Resident 90 is on contact precaution and that all staff need adhere to the facility's transmission-based precautions and isolation policy.
