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 establish and maintain an infection and prevention control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 5 (Resident #1, Resident #11, Resident #28, Resident #4, and Resident #17) of 35 residents reviewed for infection control. Residents Affected - Some 1. LVN B failed to clean the reusable blood pressure (BP) cuff between resident use. 2. LVN A failed to perform hand hygiene and clean the catheter tip before performing catheter irrigation for Resident #17's suprapubic catheter (a flexible tube that drains urine from the bladder through a small incision in the lower abdomen) 3. The facility failed to ensure LVN I sanitized or washed her hands after touching contaminated items when delivering meal trays to residents, when setting up Resident #1, Resident #11 and, Resident #28's meal trays and during feeding of Resident #11 on 08/20/2024. These failures could place residents at risk for cross contamination and infection. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #4's face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of hemiplegia (paralysis or severe weakness in one side of the body) and cerebral infarction (stroke). Review of Resident #4's Optional MDS, dated [DATE], reflected a BIMS score of 11 indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #4's Care Plan reflected resident requires staff assistance for meeting needs and has hypertension requiring BP monitoring and medication. Observation during med pass on 08/21/2024 at 08:30 AM, revealed LVN B checked the vital signs for Resident #6 and placed the BP cuff back on the medication cart without cleaning it. She then used the BP cuff to take vital signs for Resident #4 without cleaning the cuff first.
