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 maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one (Resident #1) of 2
residents reviewed for infection control practices in that:
Residents Affected - Few
RN A failed to perform hand hygiene, wash hands, change gloves and prevent cross contamination while
providing wound care for Resident #1.
These failures could affect the residents by placing them at risk for the spread of infection.
Finding included:
Review of Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 02/08/24, revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses of non-pressure ulcers, urinary tract infection, exposure to covid-19, and
candidiasis.
Review of Resident #1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment undated revealed Resident #1 required
total assistance with most activities of daily living (ADLs) and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Review of Resident #1's care plan dated 08/03/22 revealed he was at risk pressure ulcers and skin
breakdown related poor intake, abnormal labs, incontinence, and impaired mobility.
Observation of wound care on Resident #1 on 02/08/24 at 11:30 a.m. revealed RN A did not wash hands
but donned gloves before the start of care. She prepared a clean field on a paper spreader. RN A
communicated and positioned Resident #1. She removed old dressing revealing a thin reddish clear dry
wound on the left heel. RN A cleansed the wound with normal saline and patted dry. She did not wash
hands, change gloves, or perform hand hygiene before retrieving the clean kerlix gauze bandage roll. As
RN A was covering the wound with the kerlix gauze, it fell on the floor. She picked it up and continued to
use it to cover the wound. RN A did not change or replace the dressing.
In an interview on 02/08/24 at 11:46 a.m. with RN A, she said he had been employed in the facility for one
year. She noted she received infection control training in November 2023. RN A stated she should have
washed her hands, performed hand hygiene before retrieving the clean kerlix gauze. She said cross
contamination was mixing clean with dirty and the resident could get sick if good infection practice was not
followed.
