F 0880 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 implement its infection prevention and control measures for one of three sampled residents (Resident 3) by failing to ensure: Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 2 replaced/doffed (remove) gloves, and performed hand performed hand hygiene (washing hands or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer) during incontinence (lack of voluntary control over urination and/or defecation) care for Resident 3. This deficient practice had the potential to result in cross contamination (transfer of harmful bacteria or viruses from one place, object or person to another) and increased the risk of transmitting disease-causing organisms leading to illness for residents. Findings:During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 3 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. The admission Record indicated Resident 3's diagnoses included muscle weakness and hypertension (high blood pressure).During a review of Resident 3's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/21/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 3 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 12/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 usually was able to understand and be understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident 3 required substantial/maximal assistance (Helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) for bed mobility (rolling left and right in bed, sitting to lying on the side of bed to lying flat on the bed) and was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity, or the assistance of two or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for toileting hygiene, lower body dressing and transfers (the ability to transfer to and from a bed to a chair). During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/6/2026 at 12:30 p.m., in Resident 3's room, CNA 2 was observed performing incontinence care for Resident 3. CNA 2 was observed wearing gloves, opened Resident 2's soiled incontinence brief, cleaned the resident's pubic area, proceeded to touch the bed remote control to move the resident's bed up, then turned/repositioned the resident to the left side to clean the resident's buttocks and buttocks fold, remove the soiled incontinence brief and place a new clean incontinence brief without replacing gloves and performing hand hygiene. CNA 3 left Resident 3's room without doffing or replacing gloves nor performing hand hygiene to obtain a clean gown to put on the Resident. CNA 3 stated she did not realize she had not changed her gloves while cleaning Resident 3 because she was trying to finish (incontinence care) quickly. During an interview on 1/6/2026 at 12:42 p.m. with the Infections Prevention Nurse (IP), the IP stated staff should change their gloves and wash or sanitized hands when moving from dirty to clean areas. IP stated not changing gloves and not washing/sanitizing hands could lead to spread of germs and placed residents at risk for infections. The IP stated soiled gloves could transfer germs into clean areas and items such as blankets, bed rails and devices used to move the beds. It was important for staff to perform hand hygiene between glove change and once staff were done with tasks. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE- clothing and equipment such as gloves that is worn or used to provide protection against hazardous substances and/or environments) dated 1/1/2012, the P&P indicated Facility staff wear gloves whenever there is touching blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions. Gloves are used only once and are discarded into the appropriate receptacle location in the room in which the procedure is being performed. Hands are washed before and after removing gloves. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Hand Hygiene, dated 9/1/2020, the P&P indicated the facility's policy considered hand hygiene as the primary means to prevent the spread of infections.
