Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure standard infection control practices were followed by failing to wear gloves when one of three laundry aid staff wear gloves while handing soiled linens. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection for all the residents in the facility. Findings: a. During an observation on 1/25/2024 at 9:43 a.m. in the laundry area, LA 1 used non-deposal glove when handling soiled linen, then placing soiled non disposal gloves on top of an overhead shelf and reusing the same non-disposal gloves again to sort a different cart of soil linen. b. During an observation on 1/25/2024 at 9:53 a.m. in the Laundry Area, LA1 picked up linen off the floor in the laundry area and place it on top of clean linen in the laundry cart which contain clean linen. During an interview on 1/25/2024 at 11:12 a.m. with MS. stated LA 1 should not be wearing non-disposable gloves. MS stated LA 1 did not disinfect the gloves prior to using them. MS stated he observed LA 1 placing the linen that failed on the floor on top of the clean linen. MS stated LA 1 should not have been throwing soiled linen against the wall. MS stated we have a lot of laundry and LA 1 should have used another laundry basket to put soiled blanket in a separate cart. During a concurrent interview on 1/25/2024 at 11:48 a.m. with MS. MS read the facility policy and procedure (P&P) dated 1/1/2012 Section 1 [A] Wear rubber gloves to empty hampers containing soiled linen into containers used for sorting linens in laundry. The P&P indicated Facility staff wear gloves whenever there is touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, mucous membranes, and non-intact skin. (Section ii) indicates facility staff will wear gloves that fit and are durability for the task. (Section iii) Gloves are used only once and are discarded into the appropriate receptacle located in the room in which the procedure is being performed. (Section iv) Hands are washed before and after the removing of gloves. (Section v) Hypoallergenic gloves, glove liners, powder-less gloves, or other similar alternatives are available to those employees who are allergic to the gloves normally proved.
