Record review of Resident #1's Wound Progress Evaluations revealed LVN K (Wound Care Nurse)
documented the same measurements previously documented by the wound care physician for the following
dates:
10/13/24 - measurements documented by LVN K for left lateral ankle arterial wound were 3.1 x 2.2 x 0.3
cm, which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 10/10/24.
10/21/24 - measurements documented by LVN K for left lateral ankle arterial wound were 2.8 x 2.1 x 0.4
cm, which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 10/17/24.

cm, which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 10/24/24.
11/7/24 - measurements documented by LVN K for left lateral ankle arterial wound were 1.7 x 1.2 x 0.3 cm,
which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 11/14/24.

cm, which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 12/16/24.
1/2/25 - measurements documented by LVN K for left lateral ankle arterial wound were 2.5 x 2.2 x 0.3 cm,
which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 12/30/24.
1/3/25 - measurements documented by LVN K for left lateral ankle arterial wound were 2.9 x 1.8 x 0.3 cm,
which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 1/2/25.
1/15/25 - measurements documented by LVN K for left lateral ankle arterial wound were 3.3 x 3.7 x 0.3 cm,
which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 1/13/25.
1/22/25 - measurements documented by LVN K for left lateral ankle arterial wound were 4.1 x 3.5 x 0.2 cm,
which were the same measurements documented by the WC MD on 1/20/25.
During a telephone interview on 2/23/25 at 4:58 pm, LVN K said she used the WC MDs measurements of
Resident #1's wound because the WC MD saw the resident weekly. LVN K said on the days Resident #1
was not seen by the WC MD she did not measure the wound during her assessment of the wound because
she did not need to. LVN K further stated she was expected to measure resident wounds on a weekly basis,
so she measured them with the WC MD when the physician visited Resident #1.
2. Record review of Resident #1's Order Summary, dated 2/20/25, revealed an order cleanse incision of left
BKA with normal saline, apply oil emulsion gauze, cover with large pad, secure with kerlix, apply
stockinette, and monitor site daily one time a day, dated 2/15/25 - 2/19/25. Review of Resident #1's
February TAR revealed LVN K initialed for 2/17/25 and 2/18/25.
Observation and interview on 2/18/2025 at 4:00 pm revealed dressing to Resident #1's left BKA was clean,
dry, and dated 2/16/25. LVN K confirmed the date on the dressing was 2/16/2025 and confirmed she had
not changed Resident #1's dressing in two days (2/17/25 and 2/18/25). LVN K further stated she checked
off the wound care as completed in PCC. LVN K said she did that because she did not like when the color
changed to red in PCC (indicating the treatment was late). LVN K said she intended to return and complete
Resident #1's wound care but got busy because the WC MD was making rounds and forgot. LVN K further
stated the WC MD had not seen Resident #1 on 2/18/25.

During an interview on 2/18/2025 at 5:43 pm, LVN K said the WC MD was in the facility on 2/18/25 and this
was why she documented Resident #1's wound care treatment as completed without providing treatment.
LVN K further stated on 2/17/25 she worked the floor, and the nurses were supposed to do Resident #1's
wound care. LVN K said she did not know why she documented Resident #1's wound care as completed on
2/17/25 when it was not done, adding she just told herself she would get to him today (2/18/25).
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 1:30 pm, the DON said LVN M was currently responsible for wound care
when LVN K was unavailable but before 2/1/25 the charge nurses were responsible for wound care when
LVN K was not available. The DON further stated the TARs were reviewed for treatment completion during
the morning meetings. The DON said if a blank was identified on the TARs, the nurse responsible for the
treatment was contacted to determine whether it was a failure to document and if so, the nurse was to
document the treatment as soon as possible. The DON further stated if it was a missed treatment, the
treatment was completed as soon as possible, and education provided to the nurses that were responsible
for the treatments. The DON said lack of documentation could affect the residents because someone else
could repeat the treatment and disrupt the healing process by removing a dressing too early, as well as
discomfort to the resident. The DON further stated missed treatments put the residents at risk for potential
infection and delayed healing. The DON said she expected the wound care nurse to always follow physician
orders. The DON said she was not aware of missed treatments for Resident #1.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 12:38 pm, the ADON said the facility had a meeting every weekday
morning, and assessment and TARs were reviewed, the weekend supervisors reviewed them on the
weekends. The ADON further stated the DON also reviewed the assessments and TARs. The ADON said
when treatments were missed the charge nurse and physician were notified and the missed treatment was
provided as soon as possible. The ADON said when the treatment nurse was unavailable to complete
wound care, the charge nurses completed their own wound care. The ADON further stated treatments were
to be documented before the end of the day the treatment was completed on. The ADON said it was
important to provide wound care as ordered for healing. The ADON said verbal orders were to be
documented the same day they were was received. The ADON further stated nurses were expected to
review orders before providing care so they knew what to do. The ADON said she was not aware of
Resident #1 missing treatments.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 1:30 pm, the DON said the expectation was for verbal orders to be
documented by the end of the shift to update the residents' care. The DON further stated nurses were
expected to review orders prior to treatment to ensure orders were carried out as ordered because the
residents might not get the appropriate treatments, which may delay the healing process.
During an interview on 2/21/25 at 11:26 am, RN H said he provided wound care from time to time. RN H
further stated the facility had a wound care nurse but if he assessed an area that required treatment, he
provided it. RN H said he was expected to provide wound care when the treatment nurse was not available.
RN H said he was expected to document all treatments in the residents' wound care records. RN H further
stated the facility's policy was that any time a treatment was completed or not completed for any reason it
was to be documented. RN H said if a treatment was not documented it wasn't done. RN H further stated
documentation needed to be completed that everyone knew that the resident received the treatment, when
it was done, and that it was completed. RN H said treatments were scheduled because they were needed
and if something was missed it was important so that the next nurse knew that it was not done and needed
to be completed. RN H further stated it would be important to notify the physician of missed treatment
because orders were based on what the provider thought would

During an interview on 2/19/25 at 4:49 pm, LVN K said Hospice A RN told her she expected LVN K to enter
Resident #2's orders for wound care on 2/18/25 but she had not entered the orders and was now locked out
of the computer. LVN K further stated she received a verbal order on 2/18/25 to cleanse Resident #1's
wound to the right lateral foot with normal saline, apply iodine and wrap with kerlix. LVN K said it was
Important to document orders in a timely manner, so that the orders were followed, and wound care was
provided. LVN K further stated not following wound care orders or cleaning wounds could hinder the wound
healing process.
During a telephone interview on 2/20/25 at 11:06 am, Hospice A RN said she gave LVN K a verbal order for
Resident #2's wound to the right lateral foot on 2/18/25 to cleanse, apply iodine and wrap. Hospice A RN
further stated that she expected the wound to be cleansed with normal saline prior to applying treatment.
Attempted interview on 2/20/25 at 11:49 am with LVN B was unsuccessful.
Attempted interview on 2/20/25 at 12:06 pm with LVN K was unsuccessful.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 1:30 pm, the DON said LVN M was currently responsible for wound care
when LVN K was unavailable but before 2/1/25 the charge nurses were responsible for wound care when
LVN K was not available. The DON further stated the TARs were reviewed for treatment completion during
the morning meetings. The DON said if a blank was identified on the TARs, the nurse responsible for the
treatment was contacted to determine whether it was a failure to document and if so, the nurse was to
document the treatment as soon as possible. The DON further stated if it was a missed treatment, the
treatment was completed as soon as possible, and education provided to the nurses that were responsible
for the treatments. The DON said lack of documentation could affect the residents because someone else
could repeat the treatment and disrupt the healing process by removing a dressing too early, as well as
discomfort to the resident. The DON further stated missed treatments put the residents at risk for potential
infection and delayed healing. The DON said she expected the wound care nurse to always follow physician
orders. The DON said she was not aware of missed treatments for Resident #1 and Resident #2.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 12:38 pm, the ADON said the facility had a meeting every weekday
morning, and assessment and TARs were reviewed, the weekend supervisors reviewed them on the
weekends. The ADON further stated the DON also reviewed the assessments and TARs. The ADON said
when treatments were missed the charge nurse and physician were notified and the missed treatment was
provided as soon as possible. The ADON said when the treatment nurse was unavailable to complete
wound care, the charge nurses completed their own wound care. The ADON further stated treatments were
to be documented before the end of the day the treatment was completed on. The ADON said it was
important to provide wound care as ordered for healing. The ADON said verbal orders were to be
documented the same day they were was received. The ADON further stated nurses were expected to
review orders before providing care, so they knew what to do. The ADON said she was not aware of
Resident #1 and Resident #2 missing treatments.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 1:30 pm, the DON said the expectation was for verbal orders to be
documented by the end of the shift to update the residents' care. The DON further stated nurses were
expected to review orders prior to treatment to ensure orders were carried out as ordered because the
residents might not get the appropriate treatments, which may delay the healing process.
During an interview on 2/21/25 at 11:26 am, RN H said he provided wound care from time to time. RN

stated the facility's policy was that any time a treatment was completed or not completed for any reason it
was to be documented. RN H said if a treatment was not documented it was not done. RN H further stated
documentation needed to be completed that everyone knew that the resident received the treatment, when
it was done, and that it was completed. RN H said treatments were scheduled because they were needed
and if something was missed it was important so that the next nurse knew that it was not done and needed
to be completed. RN H further stated it would be important to notify the physician of missed treatment
because orders were based on what the provider thought would provide the best benefit to the residents
and that he would want to bring that to the attention of the provider to avoid possible complications. RN H

not. The DON further stated deviating from physician orders could delay wound healing. The DON said if
treatments were missed due to resident refusal it was to be documented in the progress notes. The DON
said she was responsible for ensuring all treatments were provided as ordered by the physician and
documented. The DON further stated she was responsible for ensuring any missed treatments were
documented and notifications made. The DON said nurses were expected to measure resident wounds on
a weekly basis to show the progress of the wounds. The DON further stated it was only acceptable to use
the WC MD's measurements when rounding with the WC MD. The DON said when not rounding with the
WC MD, she expected the nurses to re-measure the wounds. The DON said obtaining wound
measurements was important to assess the progress of the wounds. The DON further stated if
measurements were not obtained, they could not keep up with the progress of the wound and gage the
progress, she added this was also important for continuity of care. The DON said obtaining wound
measurements weekly was the facility's policy. The DON further stated she was responsible for ensuring
resident wounds were measured on a weekly basis. The DON said she expected a wound assessment to

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that pain management is provided to
residents who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for 1 out of 4 residents (Resident #6)
reviewed for pain management.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to adequately assess and treat Resident #6's pain prior to or during wound care.
This failure could place residents at risk for unnecessary pain, discomfort, and decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #6's admission Record, dated 2/22/25, revealed the resident was re-admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: Alzheimer's Disease (disease affecting memory and
other important mental functions) , Peripheral Vascular Disease (circulatory condition in which narrowed
blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs) , chronic pain, Dementia (group of thinking and social
symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), and Cognitive Communication Deficit (difficulty with
thinking and language) .
Record review of Resident #6's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/18/24, revealed she had a BIMS
score of 5, severe cognitive impairment. Further review of the assessment revealed Resident #6 received
Opioids (medications used to treat moderate to severe pain) and received scheduled pain medication in the
last 5 days.
Record review of Resident #6's Order Summary, dated 2/22/25, revealed an order for Triple Antibiotic
Ointment to right posterior lower leg every other day; cleanse with wound cleanser, pat dry, apply ointment,
and wrap with kerlix from foot to below the knee, dated 2/20/25.

Record review of Resident #6's Change of Condition Communication Form, dated 2/23/25, revealed
Resident #6 had redness around skin tear to right leg; possible cellulitis (common bacterial skin infection),
soft tissue, or wound infection; possible problem - Skin infection/wound infection; new orders received for
Bactrim twice a day for 10 days.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 12:14 pm, the Administrator said the facility did not have wound care
procedures but did have a checklist. The Administrator provided Wound Treatment Competency
Assessment.
Observation and interview on 2/22/25, beginning at 3:39 pm, of RN L's wound care, assisted by LVN M, to
Resident #6's right calf revealed the resident was not assessed or treated for pain prior to the procedure.

steri-strips and dressing, redness, and edema to the peri-wound area. Further observation revealed
Resident #6 seemed to express pain during the procedure by repeatedly saying ay, ay and reached for her
right calf. RN L continued with treatment and Resident #6 continued to complain of pain and reached for
her right calf. RN L said she did not know if Resident #6 was complaining of pain or was scared and
continued with the treatment. RN L completed the treatment and Resident #6 continued to complain of
pain, repeatedly saying ay, ay. At 3:48 pm, RN L asked Resident #6 if she had pain and needed pain
medication, Resident #6 said yes.
During an interview on 2/22/25 at 4:00 pm, RN L said Resident #6 was not medicated for pain prior to
wound care treatment.
During an interview on 2/22/25 at 4:07 pm, RN L said she assessed Resident #6 for pain when she
explained the procedure and the resident said no and then said no se (I do not know). RN L further stated
she did not know if Resident #6 was saying I don't know because she did not know what RN L was asking
or if she had pain. RN L said she normally stopped treatments if a resident knew what she was saying. RN
L further stated she tried to be gentle because she did not know if Resident #6 was hurting, and she
offered pain medication after she was done with the treatment. RN L said Resident #6 was not saying ouch,
she was saying ay as in pain or ahi as in there, in Spanish. RN L further stated she did not stop the
treatment because she was very gentle and knew that she was not causing the resident pain. RN L said
Resident #6 was saying ay, ay but she did not see any frowning or gestures suggesting Resident #6 was
hurting, RN L further stated resident #6 kept putting her hand near the wound area, and it seemed like the
resident wanted to scratch, not stop RN L. RN L said normally residents say they were in pain or she could
see that they were hurting. RN L said Resident #6 could not have been in pain during wound care because
she was being gentle during the treatment to Resident #6's right calf and the resident was not frowning. RN
L further stated signs expressed by residents unable to use words to express their feelings included:
frowning, moaning, and guarding the affected area. RN L further stated that she only stopped treatments
when residents specifically said stop. RN L further stated Resident #6 was reaching for her right calf but
thought she reached to scratch more than protecting the area.
During an interview on 2/24/25 at 2:19 pm, LVN M said she did not know Spanish but every time Resident
#6 was moved she said ay. LVN M further stated it was hard to tell when Resident #6 was in pain but
thought when the resident said ay she was in pain. LVN M said when Resident #6 reached down for her leg
she probably wanted the treatment to be stopped, did not want to be touched. LVN M further stated some
non-verbal pain cues included guarding, grimacing, pushing, striking out, and tensing up. LVN M said
Resident #6 expressed the tension, guarding, and she was trying to push RN L's hand away while she
assisted RN L with wound care on 2/22/25. LVN M said the facility's expectation was to medicate prior to
wound care if needed. LVN M further stated the nurse was asked to medicate Resident #6, but this was
done after the treatment was completed. LVN M said she would have stopped the treatment and asked the
nurse to medicate Resident #6 when she seemed to be in pain. LVN M further stated it was important to
medicate resident prior to wound care when needed to decrease pain and the resident did not suffer or
experience distress during treatments. LVN M said she did not think Resident #6 had pain medication
ordered to be administered prior to treatments but added she had PRN Tylenol ordered for pain.
During an interview on 2/25/25 at 4:59 pm, the DON said the facility policy stated to assess residents for
pain when treatments were provided but it did not address when the assessment should be completed. The
DON further stated that ideally residents should be assessed for pain before the treatment began, maybe
an hour before to allow the medication to work. The DON said it was important to

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals in
locked compartments for 1 of 6 medication carts (Treatment Cart) reviewed for medication storage.
The facility failed to ensure the Treatment Cart was locked when unattended on (3) occasions.
This failure could place residents at risk of medication misuse and drug diversion.
Findings included:
Observation on 2/22/25 beginning at 3:19 pm, RN L entered Resident #2's room, closed the door, and
prepared to provide wound care leaving the treatment cart unlocked. Further observation revealed the
treatment cart was unlocked when RN L opened Resident #2's room door after the treatment was
completed. Observation revealed there were two CNAs on the hall when RN L exited the room. Further
observation revealed RN L re-entered Resident #2's room, leaving the treatment cart unlocked. RN L was
observed entering the resident's room to wash her hands, leaving the treatment cart unlocked. Further
observation revealed a nurse at the far end of the hall preparing medications, a resident and unlicensed
staff on the hall at the time of observation.
During an interview on 2/22/25 at 4:00 pm, RN L said she was not allowed to leave the treatment cart
unlocked because it was a risk, and anyone can access the cart including residents. RN L further stated
residents could get hurt because they did not know what it was, and they can get into it. RN L said the cart
contained treatments, such as betadine, alcohol pads, triple antibiotic ointment, and other treatments. RN L
further stated there were ambulatory residents on hall the treatment cart was on. RN L said the facility
policy was that the carts were locked whenever her back was turned to it. RN L said she guessed she
overlooked locking the cart.
During an interview on 2/25/25 at 12:17 pm, the DON said she expected medication/treatments carts to be
locked when unattended. The DON further stated leaving carts unlocked when unattended was a safety
issue because the facility had confused residents that could gain access to what is stored in the carts, such
as, medications and treatments. The DON said it was the facility's policy that carts were locked when
unattended.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Medication Carts and Supplies for Administering Meds, dated
10/1/19, revealed: .2. The medication cart is locked at all times when not in use. 3. Do not leave the
medication cart unlocked or unattended in the resident care areas .The medication cart must remain in your
line of sight when it is not locked .

related to injury as evidenced by skin tear to right lower extremity. Interventions included: weekly skin
assessment by licensed nurse.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 1:30 pm, the DON said LVN M was currently responsible for wound care
when LVN K was unavailable but before 2/1/25 the charge nurses were responsible for wound care when
LVN K was not available. The DON further stated the TARs were reviewed for treatment completion during
the morning meetings. The DON said if a blank was identified on the TARs, the nurse responsible for the
treatment was contacted to determine whether it was a failure to document and if so, the nurse was to
document the treatment as soon as possible. The DON said lack of documentation could affect the
residents because someone else could repeat the treatment and disrupt the healing process by removing a
dressing too early, as well as discomfort to the resident. The DON said she was not aware of the treatments
that were not documented.
During an interview on 2/20/25 at 2:16 pm, the ADON said she did not know if she was focused on
something else during the meetings and missed the lack of documentation.
During an interview on 2/21/25 at 3:18 pm, the ADON said when LVN K was unavailable, the charge nurses
were responsible for completing wound care for their assigned residents.

Progress Evaluations for Resident #6 until 2/18/25.
During an interview on 2/25/25 at 12:17 pm, the DON said she was responsible for ensuring all treatments
were documented. The DON said she was responsible for ensuring assessments were completed. The
DON further stated there was a potential for negative outcomes due to lack of assessment and orders.
During an interview on 2/25/25 at 12:17 pm, the DON said when treatments were missed due to resident
refusal it was to be documented in the progress notes. The DON further stated there was a potential for

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, 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 diseases and infections for 2 of 2 residents (Resident
#2 and Resident #3) reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
LVN K and RN L did not perform hand hygiene appropriately when providing wound care to Resident #2
and Resident #3.
This deficient practice could affect all residents who require wound care and place them at risk for infection.
Findings included:
Interview and observation of wound care to Resident #3's feet, on 2/19/25 beginning at 3:11 PM, revealed
LVN K gathered supplies for wound care donned gown and removed Resident #3's socks without
performing hand hygiene; LVN K completed wound care to Resident #3's feet and washed her hands for 9
seconds.
During an interview on 2/19/15 at 3:24 pm, LVN K said she did not perform hand hygiene prior to providing
wound care for Resident #3 and was nervous with the state investigator present. LVN K further stated she
was expected to perform hand hygiene between glove changes for infection control purposes.
Interview and observation of wound care to Resident #2's feet, on 2/22/25 beginning at 2:07 PM, revealed
RN L touched the outside of the mask she was wearing with ungloved hands and donned a new mask
without performing hand hygiene. RN L removed the dressing to Resident #2's right lateral foot and washed
her hands for 13 seconds. Further observation revealed RN L washed her hands for 14 seconds after
cleansing the wound to Resident #2's right ankle then proceeded to cleanse the wound to the right lateral
foot and washed her hands for 13 seconds. After applying betadine to the wounds, RN L washed her hands
for 10 seconds. Further observation revealed RN L washed her hands for 10 seconds before removing the
dressing to Resident #2's left foot. RN L cleansed wounds to Resident #2's left foot (toe, lateral foot, and
ankle) and washed her hands for 13 seconds, 10 seconds, and 12 seconds after cleansing each wound,
respectively. Further observation revealed RN L washed her hands for 11 seconds after applying betadine
to Resident #2's left toe, removed gloves, grabbed gown from the front to access her pocket. RN L retrieved
keys to the treatment cart from her pocket, retrieved additional betadine and a pair of gloves from the
treatment cart without performing hand hygiene, she then sanitized her hands and donned the gloves she
retrieved from the treatment cart. RN L said she donned the gloves she retrieved from the treatment cart.
Further observation revealed RN L applied betadine to Resident #2's wound and washed her hands for 15
seconds. After applying the dressing to Resident #2's foot she washed her hands for 12 seconds. Further
observation revealed RN L washed her hands for 8 seconds once the procedure was completed, and trash
was disposed. RN L said she thought she had performed hand hygiene before she retrieved additional
items from the treatment cart because she could not go from dirty to clean without sanitizing her hands
because that would put the resident at risk for infection.
During an interview on 2/22/25 at 4:00 pm, RN L said she started working at the facility approximately 3
weeks prior and worked Saturday and Sunday. RN L said hand hygiene training included when to

perform hand hygiene, such as in between glove changes and before handling clean items. RN L further
stated she was expected to wash her hands for at least 20 seconds. RN L said it was important to perform
hand hygiene as recommended because that was enough time for the antibacterial soap to kill germs. RN L
further stated when hand hygiene was not performed as recommended there could be cross contamination
to wounds which can lead to infections. RN L said she received training to include infection control. RN L
further stated the hand hygiene in-service included: washing hands upon entering a resident's room, when
the room was exited, every time gloves were changed, when hands were visibly contaminated/soiled, and
when she handled clean items. RN L said she was expected to wash hands for 20 seconds and this was
important because that was enough time for the antibacterial soap to kill germs. RN L further stated not
performing hand hygiene as recommended could affect the residents by contamination of whatever we
were doing, like wound care or incontinent care and this may lead to infection.
During interview on 2/23/25, the DON said she was responsible for ensuring the nursing staff had the
appropriate training and competency evaluations.
Record review of email from the facility Administrator, dated 2/23/25, revealed the facility did not have a
policy regarding nurse training and competency evaluations.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Infection Prevention and Control Program, dated 5/13/23,
revealed: .16. Staff Education: a. All staff shall receive, relevant to their specific roles and responsibilities,
regarding the facility's infection prevention and control program, including policies and procedures related to
their job function. b. All staff shall demonstrate competence in relevant infection control practices. c. Direct

without performing hand hygiene. RN L removed the dressing to Resident #2's right lateral foot and washed
her hands for 13 seconds. Further observation revealed RN L washed her hands for 14 seconds after
cleansing the wound to Resident #2's right ankle then proceeded to cleanse the wound to the right lateral
foot and washed her hands for 13 seconds. After applying betadine to the wounds, RN L washed her hands
for 10 seconds. Further observation revealed RN L washed her hands for 10 seconds before removing the
dressing to Resident #2's left foot. RN L cleansed wounds to Resident #2's left foot (toe, lateral foot, and
ankle) and washed her hands for 13 seconds, 10 seconds, and 12 seconds after cleansing each wound,

retrieved from the treatment cart. RN L said she donned the gloves she retrieved from the treatment cart.
Further observation revealed RN L applied betadine to Resident #2's wound and washed her hands for 15
seconds. After applying the dressing to Resident #2's foot she washed her hands for 12 seconds. Further
observation revealed RN L washed her hands for 8 seconds once the procedure was completed, and trash

handling clean items. RN L further stated she was expected to wash her hands for at least 20 seconds. RN
L said it was important to perform hand hygiene as recommended because that was enough time for the
antibacterial soap to kill germs. RN L further stated when hand hygiene was not performed as
recommended there could be cross contaminated to wounds which can lead to infections.
