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 6 residents (Resident
#92 ) reviewed for infection control, in that: The facility failed to ensure CNA E used proper infection control
while providing incontinent care for Resident #92. These deficient practices could place residents at-risk for
infection due to improper care practices The findings include: Record review of Resident #92's face sheet,
dated 08/07/2025, revealed an admission date of 01/09/2025, with diagnoses which included: Wernicke's
encephalopathy (brain and memory disorder due to a lack fo vitamin B1), Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing),
Hypothyroidism (under active thyroid), Hyperlipidemia (Elevated level of any or all lipids(fat) in the blood),
Hypertension (High blood pressure), Asthma (Long-term inflammatory disease of the airways restricting
airflow). Record review of Resident #92's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 07/08/2025, revealed the
resident had a BIMS score of 08, indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Resident #92 was
always incontinent of bladder and bowel and, required total assistance with her ADLs. Record review of
Resident #92's care plan, dated 01/17/2025, revealed a problem of has ADL Self Care Performance Deficit

Dependent. Observation on 08/07/2025 at 3:24 p.m. revealed CNA E, after washing her hands, touched the
room's door with her bare hands, did not sanitize her hands before putting gloves on and started to provide

from a soiled area to a clean one. She confirmed the staff had received training on infection control within
the year and the training was provided by herself. They also check the staff skills annually and as needed.
Review of Facility's policy, titled Infection control, dated 03/2024, revealed Standard Precautions are
infection prevention practices that apply to the care of all residents, regardless of suspected or confirmed
infection or colonization status. They are based on the principle that all blood, body fluids, secretions, and
excretions (except sweat) may contain transmissible infectious agents. Standard Precautions include:a.
Proper selection and use of PPE, such as gowns, gloves, facemasks, respirators, and eye protectioni. Use
and type of PPE is based on the predicted staff interaction with residents and the potential for exposure to
blood, body fluids, or pathogens (e.g., gloves are worn when contact with blood, body fluids, mucous
membranes, non-intact skin, or potentially contaminated surfaces or equipment are anticipated).b. Hand
