Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 4 residents, (Resident #1) reviewed for care plans. 1.

The face sheet noted a discharge date of 09/17/24. Record review of Resident #1's Admitting MDS Assessment, dated 07/17/24, reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 11, which meant Resident #1 had a moderate level of cognition. The MDS noted the resident did not exhibit any behaviors. Record review of Resident #1's care plan with an initial date of 07/12/24, reflected no interventions for Resident #1's multiple refusals of wound care, perineal care, medication administration, or showers.

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 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 1 (Resident #2) of 3 residents reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The Treatment Nurse failed to discard contaminated gauze after performing wound care on Resident #2 on 05/07/25. This failure could put residents at risk of infection from cross contamination.
Findings included: Record review of Resident #2's face sheet dated 05/08/25, reflected a [AGE] year-old female, with an admission date of 05/05/25. Resident #2 had diagnoses of Chronic Venous Hypertension with Ulcer of Bilateral Lower Extremity (damaged leg veins that causes blood pressure build up and skin breakdown), and Type 2 Diabetes with foot ulcer (body cannot regulate blood sugar levels). In an observation and interview on 05/08/25 starting at 8:40 AM, the Treatment Nurse was observed as she provided wound care to the toes and heel of Resident #2. The Treatment nursed wiped the toes of Resident #2, put her gloved hand into the package of clean gauze, took a few out, wiped the toes of Resident #2, then put her gloved hand back into the package of clean gauze to get a few more out. The Treatment Nurse was observed as she closed the package of remaining gauze and placed the package back in the drawer of the treatment cart and locked it. The Treatment Nurse stated she had a few more residents to treat on 05/08/25. In an interview on 05/08/25 at 11:39 AM, the Treatment Nurse stated she was not aware she put the gauze back on the treatment cart after she put her gloved hand into the package. The Treatment Nurse stated that was something she would not normally do. The Treatment Nurse stated the risk of putting her gloved hand into the package after touching Resident #2's wounds, then putting the gauze back on the treatment cart was infection. In an interview on 05/08/25 at 2:30 PM, the DON stated all employees were trained on infection control, but the staff get nervous when The State is in the building. She stated the Treatment Nurse was probably nervous during the observation. The DON stated the Treatment Nurse putting a contaminated hand in the gauze package and placing the gauze back on the treatment cart was contamination and infection. In an interview on 05/08/25 at 2:40 PM, the Administrator stated the risk of the Treatment Nurse putting her gloved hand into the gauze package during wound care was infection being spread to other residents. She stated all employees were trained on infection control. Record review of the facility's policy titled, Infection Control Plan: Overview, dated 03/2024, reflected the following: Infection Control
