Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable disease and infection for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #3)
reviewed for infection control:
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure CNA A changed her gloves and washed or sanitized her hands after they
became contaminated during incontinent care, before touching Resident #3's clean linen and clean brief.
This failure could place residents at-risk for infection due to improper care practices.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #3's admission Record (face sheet) dated 03/30/2025, revealed she was a
[AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which
included dementia (a progressive decline in memory, thinking, reasoning and problem-solving that
interferes with daily life activities), vitamin D deficiency (inadequate intake of a mineral that can lead to a
loss of bone density), schizophrenia (a chronic and severe mental disorder characterized by a
disconnection from reality, often involving hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking or behavior),
bipolar disorder (a chronic mental disorder with extreme shifts in mood and behavior), depressive disorder
(a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness and loss of
interest), and high blood pressure.
Record review of Resident #3's most recent Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 02/15/2025, revealed a
BIMS score of 15 out of 15 indication her cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact, required
substantial/maximal assistance with toileting and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Record review of Resident #3's Care Plan for ADL Self Care Performance Deficit, initiated 06/18/2020,
revealed under interventions the resident required assistance of 2 staff for toileting.

Resident #3 revealed CNA A wiped the resident's front perineal (region located between genitals and the
anus) area, then with the same soiled gloves, touched the bed linen without changing her gloves. CNA A
then provided pericare (washing the genitals and anal area) to the resident's buttocks, removed the soiled
brief, removed the soiled gloves, and used sanitizer. The CNA put on clean gloves and wiped fecal material
from Resident #3's legs with her gloved hands, then with the same soiled gloves CNA A touched the
resident, rolled the resident to her back, and continued to cleanse the

resident's legs from the front. CNA A then touched Resident #3's clean brief with the same soiled gloves
used to wipe fecal material from the resident's legs.
In an interview on 03/26/2025 at 3:02 p.m. CNA A stated she had received training in December 2024 on
the correct way to do perineal care. CNA A stated if her gloves were soiled with poop (fecal material) she
would change her gloves and if she had cleaned a resident's perineal area, she would change her gloves
before she touched the resident. CNA A stated she did not remember touching Resident #3 with her soiled
gloves during the incontinent care the surveyor observed.
In an interview on 03/30/2025 at 2:34 p.m., the DON stated when she assisted CNA A provide incontinent
care to Resident #3, she did not notice CNA A had touched the resident's bed linen, the resident, and the
resident's brief with soiled gloves. The DON stated she tried to assist the CNA with repositioning the
resident as much as she could during the incontinent care.
In an interview on 03/26/2025 at 4:32 p.m., the DON stated the facility's policy was to change gloves when
they were visible soiled or if the staff thought the gloves were soiled, and when they were done with the
perineal care before putting on clean brief or clothes on the resident. The DON stated she would expect the
nursing staff to perform hand hygiene after incontinent care was performed before they touched the
resident, linens, or brief.
Record review of the facility's undated policy on Hand Hygiene revealed hand hygiene should be performed
before and after assisting a resident with personal care, after contact with a resident's body fluids or
excretions, after removing gloves, and after handling soled or used linens, dressings, bedpans, catheters,
and urinals.
Record review of the facility's Infection Control Plan: Overview policy, dated 2019, revealed The facility will
establish and maintain an Infection Control Program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable
environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection. Under
