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 maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one (Resident #1) of three
residents reviewed for infection control practices.
Residents Affected - Few
CNA A and CNA B failed to perform hand hygiene and change gloves as appropriate while providing
incontinence care to Resident #1 on 02/25/2025.
This failure could place residents at risk for cross contamination and the spread of infection.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 02/27/25, revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Covid-19, gangrene (death of body tissue due to lack of blood flow or
infection), acquired absence of right leg above knee (amputation), acquired absence of left leg above knee
(amputation), and muscle weakness.
Review of Resident #1's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#1 required substantial/maximal with most activities of daily living (ADLs) and always incontinent of bowel
and bladder.
Review of Resident #1's Care Plan dated 03/15/24 revealed he has bowel and bladder incontinence. The
goal was for the resident to remain free of skin breakdown due to incontinence and brief use through the
review date.
Observation on 02/25/25 at 3:30 p.m. of incontinence care on Resident #1 revealed CNA A and CNA B
washed their hands before donning gloves. Resident #1's brief was completely soiled with fecal matter.
CNA A and CNA B removed Resident #1's soiled brief. CNA A wiped the resident from front to back. The
wipes were visibly soiled with fecal matter, but she continued to use it. She did not wash hands, change
gloves, or perform any form of hand hygiene before then applying skin protector on Resident #1. CNA A
then retrieved the clean brief with same soiled gloves and fastened it to Resident #1. CNA A used the same
soiled gloves throughout the incontinent care process. Meanwhile, CNA B who was assisting CNA A wiped
the Resident #1's back perineal side after repositioning. She did not change gloves before helping to fasten
the clean brief. CNA A picked up the trash and walked out of the resident room without washing hands.
CNA B completed incontinence care and washed her hands before exiting Resident #1's room.
