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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an Infection Control Program
designed to help prevent the development and transmission of disease for 2 (Residents #1 and Resident
#2) of 8 residents reviewed for infection control during medication pass.
Residents Affected - Few
LVN A failed to remove her gloves and wash her hands before putting on a new set of gloves and after
touching the peg tube of Resident #1, and then touching the gtube of Resident #2.
These failures placed residents at an increased risk of exposure to infections, decreased quality of life or
hospitalizations.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 08/24/24, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia (erratic
heartbeat), anoxic brain damage (occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen), and personal history of
traumatic brain injury.
Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS was not conducted
because the resident was rarely/never understood). Section K Swallowing/Nutritional Status revealed
feeding tube.
Review of Resident #1's care plan revealed a focus of nothing by mouth due to dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing). He was a high nutrition/hydration risk as dependent on PEG to meet all nutrition needs.
2. Review of Resident #2's face sheet, dated 08/24/24, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] diagnosed with reduction deformities of brain and cerebral
palsy (damage to or abnormalities inside the developing brain that disrupt the brain's ability to control
movement).
Review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS was not conducted
because the resident was rarely/never understood). Section K - Swallowing/Nutritional Status revealed
feeding tube.
Review of Resident #2's care plan revealed a focus of Resident #2 has potential for
nutritional/hydration/aspiration risk due to G-TUBE in place for nutritional and hydration due to diagnosis of
cerebral palsy and dysphagia.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
In an observation on 08/24/24 at 12:26 p.m., LVN took 2 sets of disposable gloves from the box and placed
one set of gloves on her hands and pulled up Resident #2's clothing to expose the g-tube. LVN A touched
Resident #2's g-tube. LVN did not remove the first set of gloves or wash her hands before putting on the
second set of gloves. After touching Resident #1 she immediately she pulled up the clothing of Resident #1
to expose Resident #1's PEG and touched his PEG.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 08/24/24 at 5:03 p.m., LVN A revealed she touched Resident #2's g-tube and his clothing
and Resident #1's PEG tube and his clothing without using an alcohol-based hand rub or washing her hand
in between changing her gloves. She revealed that the facility infection policy was to remove gloves and use
and alcohol-based hand rub or wash hands before donning a second set of gloves and touching another
resident. She revealed that if you do not wash hands or use an alcohol-based hand rub in between
changing and touching other residents, residents can get sepsis and an infection.
In an interview on 08/24/24 at 3:15 p.m., the DON revealed that staff had to absolutely wash hands in
between removing gloves and donning a second set of gloves and touching another resident. If you do not
wash hands, there could be cross contamination and residents could get an infection if are germs was
passed from one resident to another.
Review of facility policy on infection control dated 02/2012 reflected employees must wash their hands for
10 to 15 seconds using antimicrobial or non-antimicrobial soap and water under the following conditions:
before and after direct contact with the residents
after removing gloves
In most situations, the preferred method of hand hygiene is with an alcohol-based hand rub. If hands are
not visibly soiled, use an alcohol-based hand rub containing 60 to 95% ethanol or isopropanol for all the
following situations:
before and after direct contact with residents
before donning sterile gloves
after contact with a residence's intact skin
after removing gloves.
