television. The resident said he had been to the hospital not long ago, but did not specify the date, because
he was running a fever and had diarrhea. While he was at the hospital he was told he had an infection in his

Review of the facility's infection control log for July and August 2024 reflected there were no concerns of an
gastrointestinal infection outbreak.
Interview on 08/15/24 at 12:46 PM with the Physician revealed he had not been made aware Resident #2
had been diagnosed with shigella and had he known he would have placed the resident on contact isolation
precautions. The Physician said he would have expected the facility staff to look into the origin of the
infection and follow-up with other residents to see if they were also affected.
Interview on 08/15/24 at 2:01 PM with the ADON revealed she had been told Resident #2 had been treated
for Ecoli in the urine when he returned from the hospital so he had been put in isolation. The ADON said
the DON was responsible for reading hospital records prior to residents admitting from the hospital or the

would not have done anything different.

have continued the same precautions and kept the resident on contact isolation.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 08/15/24 at 2:35 PM with the Administrator revealed when Resident #2 returned from the
hospital, the resident said he wanted to warn her that the health department had been notified he had
gotten an infection for eating eggs that had not been cooked all they way. The Administrator said at that
time she spoke to the dietary staff and she was told all of their eggs were pasteurized and served fully
cooked. She also said there were no other resident who were experiencing the same symptoms so there
was no outbreak. The Administrator further stated she was not aware Resident #2 had been diagnosed with
shigella and said they would not have done anything different because the resident had already been
placed on isolation precautions when he returned.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 08/15/24 at 2:53 PM with RN B revealed she had re-admitted Resident #2 from hospital and
she did not recall who told her the resident has been diagnosed with ESBL in his bowels; therefore, he was
immediately put in isolation. RN B further stated she did not read the resident's admitting paperwork;
therefore, she was not aware Resident #2 had been diagnosed with shigella.
Interview on 08/19/24 at 2:53 PM with the County Epidemiologist revealed shigella was a disease that
should be reported to the County Health Department by the nursing facilities because it was easily spread
from person-to-person. The County Epidemiologist said an infected resident would require contract isolation
precautions during the remainder of the antibiotic regimen.
Review of the facility's policy titled Infection Prevention and Control Program revised June 2020 reflected
the following:
