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
interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to establish and 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 diseases and infections for one (Resident #1) of three
residents reviewed for infection control. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1, who was on enhanced
barrier precautions for ESBL, received tracheostomy care via sterile technique. This failure placed all
residents at risk for the spread of infections and decreased quality of life. Findings included:Record review
of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 10/30/2025, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female,
admitted [DATE], re-admitted [DATE] from an acute care hospital. Her DX included, malignant (cancerous)
neoplasm (tumor) of upper lung lobe, hemiplegia (paralysis on one entire side of the body), cerebral
infarction (stroke), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), aphasia (difficulty speaking), HTN (high blood
pressure), COPD (severe shortness of breath), and diabetic mellitus type 2 (non-insulin dependent) with
neuropathy (nerve damage to hands and feet), and depression. Record review of Resident #1's admission
MDS assessment, dated 10/30/2025, reflected she had a BIMS score of 8, which indicated moderate
cognitive deficit due to chronic (long standing) disease processes. Resident #1 stated she was sad
because she was unable to eat solid food due to her tracheostomy. Record review of Resident #1's care
plan, dated 10/30/2025, reflected the resident was at high risk for further impaired cognition due to BIMS of
8. Resident #1 has had impaired communication due to being edentulous (no teeth) and difficulty speaking
due to tracheostomy status. Resident #1 requires required assistance with all ADLs due to right side
weakness from a stroke. Resident #1 was at risk for psychosocial well-being due to a diagnosis of
depression. Resident #1 was on enhanced barrier precautions due to colonization (bacteria of the body not
causing harm) of ESBL. Resident #1 received O2 and suctioning PRN and tracheostomy care with oral
care every nursing shift. Interview and observation with Resident #1 on 11/07/2025 at 9:25 AM, revealed
the resident was awake and alert to person and event. She exhibited difficulty speaking due to a dx of
aphasia, tracheostomy status, and being edentulous. Observation of tracheostomy care on 11/07/2025 at
9:30 AM, revealed LVN A did not set up all needed supplies prior to starting the tracheostomy care. A
previously opened bottle of clear liquid was used instead of sterile saline, per policy, to soak gauze sponges
as well as used with sterile 14 French (size of the suction tube) suctioning tube to suction Resident #1 to
clear secretions. LVN A broke sterile field (the nurse contaminated her sterile gloves) during tracheostomy
care by reaching into Resident #1's bedside table during care to retrieve supplies with her sterile gloves on.
LVN A did not stop the care procedure after contaminating the sterile gloves. During an interview on
11/07/2025 at 10:00 AM, LVN A indicated she realized she broke sterile field when she reached into
Resident #1's bedside table to retrieve supplies she failed to set up before beginning the tracheostomy
care. The bottle of clear liquid was identified as a previously used saline container which was no longer
sterile. When

asked what a prudent nurse would do in this case, LVN A stated she should have stopped and began the
tracheostomy care process from the beginning with fresh supplies. LVN A was asked what her expectations
were of maintaining sterile field during a procedure that required it, especially with a resident on enhanced
barrier precautions, LVN A replied to prevent further spread of bacteria from the resident to herself and
other surfaces. During an interview on 11/07/2025 at 12:25 PM, the DON revealed she was employed at
this facility for 2.5 months. The DON revealed tracheostomy care training was provided once per week and
provided 1 to 1 training with the ADON the facility had a Respiratory Therapist that comes to the facility. The
DON revealed the ADON then trained the nurses in tracheostomy care. The DON revealed on the days the
RT was in house, the RT provided tracheostomy care. The DON stated she (meaning herself) observed the
nurses provide tracheostomy care occasionally. The DON stated tracheostomy skill competency was
checked annually by the RT. The DON stated all facility P & P were currently written by corporate staff and
she had not reviewed the P & P for tracheostomy care or suctioning care. The DON revealed that a sterile
field was necessary to prevent infection and the expectation of nurses that broke sterile field was to stop
immediately and start over with all new supplies. On 11/10/2025 at 2:00 PM, a telephone interview was
conducted with a Respiratory Consultant A. This contact stated she was a consultant for this facility, not
employed as a respiratory therapist. The RC stated she was contracted with this facility for three months.
The RC revealed she provided all tracheostomy care and suctioning training to staff nurses based on her
17-year hospital experience. This RC said she was not familiar with the current facility tracheostomy and
suctioning P & P. Record review on 11/07/2025 of Tracheostomy Suctioning and Tracheostomy Care P &P:
