**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility established and maintained
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 two residents reviewed for infection control practices.
Residents Affected - Few
CNA C and CNA D failed to perform hand hygiene and change their gloves at the appropriate times while
providing incontinence care for Resident #1.
These failures placed residents at risk for the spread of infection.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 01/30/24, revealed the resident was a 90- year- old male
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of urinary tract infections, constipation, and benign
prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate).
Review of Resident #1's MDS assessment, dated 01/17/24, revealed Resident #1 required extensive
assistance with most ADLs and one person assist. Resident #1 was always incontinent of bowel and
bladder.
Review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 12/27/23, revealed the resident was care planned for bowel but
not bladder incontinence.
Observation of incontinence care for Resident #1 on 01/29/24 at 2:38 p.m. revealed CNA C and CNA D did
not wash their hands or perform hand hygiene before the start of care. Both CNAs donned gloves. CNA C
wiped Resident #1 from front to back making 5 strokes of clean with same soiled wipe. Resident #1's brief
was soiled with urine and fecal matter. CNA C picked up the clean brief and placed it on the trash bag
where the dirty wipes were kept. Her gloves were visibly soiled but she continued to clean the resident with
it. CNA C did not wash her hands, change gloves, or perform hand hygiene but proceeded to retrieve
Resident #1's clean brief. She placed the clean brief on the resident and fastened it. Meanwhile, CNA D
was assisting CNA C to provide care to Resident #1. CNA D wore the same gloves while repositioning and
putting back the resident clean sheets and pillows. She also walked out of the room without washing hands
and returned without performing hand hygiene and assisted in putting Resident #1 clothes on. CNA C and
CNA D doffed their gloves, picked up the trash and left the room without washing their hands or performing
hand hygiene.
