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 ensure infection control practices were
implemented for two of three sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2) when Licensed Vocational Nurses
(LVN 1 and 2) did not wear personal protective equipment (PPE- equipment, such as gloves and gown,
used to protect against infection or illness) while administering medications via G-tube (a feeding tube
inserted through the abdominal wall directly into the stomach) to residents on Enhanced Barrier Protection
(EBP-an infection control intervention to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRObacteria that have become resistant to multiple antibiotics).This failure had the potential to expose
vulnerable residents to cross-contamination and increase the risk of developing infections.Findings:1. A
review of Resident 1's medical record was conducted. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnosis which included gastrostomy status (an opening into the stomach for food). A review of
Resident 1's Order Summary, dated June 9, 2025, indicated, .Enhanced Barrier Precautions-Staff to utilize
gowns and gloves for high-contact resident care activities due to Indwelling catheter [flexible tube that is
inserted into the bladder to drain urine] and feeding tube [a medical device used to deliver nutrition, fluid,
and medications directly into the person's stomach], and wound every shift. A review of Resident 1's care
plan dated June 8, 2025, indicated .The resident requires tube feeding .Interventions .Enhanced Barrier

contact care and administering medication via Resident 1's G-tube.On June 30, 2025, at 4:55 p.m., during
an interview with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated she forgot to wear the isolation gown. LVN 1 further stated she
should have worn the isolation gown to protect the residents and prevent the spread of germs.2. A review of
Resident 2's medical record was conducted. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses which included cerebral infarction (stroke), and gastrostomy status (an opening into the stomach
for food).A review of Resident 2's care plan dated June 14, 2025, indicated .Resident requires enhanced
barrier precautions to prevent the spread of multidrug- resistant organisms
(MDROs).Interventions.Enhanced Barrier Precautions-Staff to utilize gowns and gloves for high-contact

appropriate PPE as indicated. The IP further stated the LVN should have worn PPE to prevent the spread
of infections to residents.A review of facility policy and procedure titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions,
dated April 2001, indicated, . Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) refer to infection prevention and control
interventions designed to reduce the transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs) during high
contact resident care activities.Examples of high-contact resident care activities requiring the use of gown
and gloves for EBPs include.device care or use (central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube,
tracheostomy/ventilator, etc.); and wound care (any skin opening requiring a dressing) .
