spinal cord, or nerve problem), paraplegia (paralysis of lower body), multiple sclerosis (nervous system
disease that affects your brain and spinal cord) and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and
control program designated to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable disease and infection for three (Resident #28,
Resident #35, and Resident#7) of six residents and four of six staff members reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Some
1. Agency LVN A failed to perform hand hygiene during wound care for Resident # 28.
2. CNA C and CNA D failed to perform hand hygiene after performing ADL care and mechanical lift transfer
on Resident # 28 and before leaving the resident's room.
3. LVN B failed to disinfect the blood pressure cuff in between blood pressure checks for Residents #35 and
Resident #7.
These failures could place residents at-risk of cross contamination which could result in infections or illness.
Findings included:
1. Observation on 07/18/23 at 10:05 a.m. revealed CNA C and CNA D completing ADL care on Resident
#28 and placing him on mechanical lift sling in preparation to transfer from bed to wheelchair. CNA D
placed the Resident #28's urinary catheter bag on top of his abdomen. Agency LVN A entered the room
with wound care supplies in her hand. Agency LVN A stated she needed to complete wound care before
they got the resident up (urinary bag remained on resident's abdomen). Agency LVN A put on gloves
without performing hand hygiene and removed the old dressing off Resident #28's right big toe. Agency
LVN A changed gloves but did not perform hand hygiene, and cleaned the toe with normal saline, applied
the ointment and a clean dressing. Agency LVN A them removed her gloves and performed hand hygiene.
CNA C and CNA D positioned the mechanical lift over the resident and hooked up the sling. CNA D took
the urinary drainage bag and hooked it on the front arms of the mechanical lift, above the resident's head.
CNA C raised the mechanical lift and both staff transferred the resident to his wheelchair. Resident #28 was
lowered into his wheelchair and staff hooked the urinary catheter bag on the wheelchair. After positioning
the resident, both staff gathered up the dirty linen and trash, removed their gloves and exited the room
without performing hand hygiene. CNA C went to the linen cart to obtain clean linen, while CNA D walked
down the hall with the trash. CNA D was observed using the hand sanitizer in the hallway. CNA C
re-entered Resident #28's room with the resident's bedside table which had been placed in the hallway to
make room for the mechanical lift. CNA C then exited the room without performing hand hygiene.
In an interview on 07/18/23 at 10:35 a.m. with CNAs C and D, both stated they were to perform hand
hygiene after they completed ADL care and after they had transferred the resident. Both stated they were to
perform hand hygiene after entering a resident's room and before exiting a room and stated they had failed
to do this. Both staff stated failing to perform hand hygiene placed resident at risk of cross contamination
and could spread infection.
In an interview with Agency LVN A on 07/18/23 at 11:28a.m. she stated was required to perform hand
hygiene before and after wound care. She stated she was not aware she had to perform hand hygiene
