Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to establish and maintain an
infection control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help
prevent the development of communicable diseases and infections for 1 resident (Residents #1) of 4
residents reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
1.
The facility failed to ensure LVN A and CNA B wore a gown while providing wound care and peri care to
Resident #1 who was on EBP (enhanced barrier precautions) on 1/25/2025.

Record review of Resident #1's physician order summary dated 1/30/2025 revealed an order for wound
care: cleanse pressure ulcer to sacrum with wound cleanser, apply Medi-honey gel to wound bed, cover
with alginate and secure with bordered foam dressing with an order date of 1/24/2025.
During an observation of a video time stamped 1/25/2025 at 7:43 p.m.-7:48 p.m. revealed Resident #1
could be seen lying in bed connected to a ventilator via tracheostomy with oxygen, feeding pump (for
feeding tube) and a Foley catheter. LVN A was observed entering Resident #1's bedside with wound care
supplies on a bedside table wearing gloves and did not have on a gown. CNA B was observed at Resident
#1's bedside performing peri-care, repositioning and assisting with positioning for the wound care. CNA B
was observed wearing gloves but did not have on a gown. Both LVN A and CNA B were observed leaning
on the bed which enabled their uniforms to touch the sides of the bed and the resident's linens without a
gown to protect their uniforms. Further observation revealed, during wound care, LVN A touched the bed
and bed linen, and then repositioned Resident #1 on her left side with the same gloved hands as when she
entered the bed space on the camera view. LVN A then removed the old dressing from the wound and left it
on the open brief in the bed. Without changing her gloves, she touched the clean wound care supplies. LVN
A then used the wound care bottle to spray wound cleanser on the wound, LVN A sprayed the wound three
times and wiped the wound 3 times using the same piece of gauze without using a clean piece of gauze
with each wipe. LVN A continued with applying the new dressing to the wound without changing her gloves.
She then removed the soiled dressing and placed it on Resident #1's sheets before moving it back to the
used brief which was then discarded. LVN A continued to touch Resident #1 on her side, hip, legs, right
arm, left hand and arm assisting CNA B with putting a new brief on the resident still with the same gloves
that she had on when she entered the resident's bed space. LVN A then touched the trach, ventilator tubing
and oxygen tubing, handled the Foley catheter tubing and catheter bag before again repositing Resident #1
while still wearing the same used gloves. LVN A had not changed her gloves and then touched the bed
remote and ventilator machine before finally removing her gloves and exiting the resident's bedside taking
the bedside table with her. LVN A did not change her gloves or perform any hand hygiene during the care.
During an observation on 1/28/2025 at 4:30 p.m. revealed Resident #1's room was observed. There was a
pod of PPE including gowns hanging on the exterior of the door with wording indicating the resident was on
Enhanced Barrier Precautions.
During a telephone interview on 1/29/2025 at 3:52 p.m. LVN A stated she was a change nurse on
weekends and worked as the weekend wound care nurse. LVN A declined to come to the facility to review
the video of Resident #1 dated 1/25/2025. LVN A stated she had been a nurse for over 20 years and could
not specifically state how and when she was trained for wound care. She stated she was trained to get a
bedside table, clean it, wash her hands, prepare items on a clean table. She stated she was trained to
change her gloves after touching the resident, use hand sanitizer and then put on clean gloves. She stated
she was trained not to take the entire wound care bottle into the room. She stated she was trained to use
hand sanitizer after she touched the patient, after she touched something considered dirty. She stated she
would change her gloves after removing an old/dirty dressing and then after cleaning the wound. She
stated she was taught to toss the gauze after each cleaning and use a new piece of gauze with each
cleaning. She stated she would change her gloves again after cleaning the wound. LVN A stated she was
taught that she did not have to use hand hygiene between glove changes. She stated she could change her
gloves 3 times without using hand sanitizer but after the 3rd time she would need to wash her hands. LVN A
stated she could not remember Resident #1 or what happened on 1/25/2025.
During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 5:03 p.m., the DON observed the video dated 1/25/2025. She

stated she had not previously observed the video. After viewing the video in its entirety, the DON stated the
wound care was all wrong. She stated there were infection control issues in the video including hand
hygiene, changing gloves and EBP. The DON stated staff should have worn gowns for the wound care
because Resident #1 was on EBP.
During a telephone interview on 1/30/2025 at 11:19 a.m. LVN A again declined to view the video. She
stated she did not remember the encounter with Resident #1 on 1/25/2025 exactly. She stated she may
have deviated from the way she was trained to perform wound care because she was in a hurry. LVN A
stated she should have used a new piece of gauze with each wipe of the wound. She stated she was not
trained to use the same piece of gauze to wipe the wound multiple times. LVN A stated she should have
tossed her gloves after cleaning the wound. She stated there was no excuse for her not changing her
gloves. LVN A stated she was trained to utilize EBP including wearing a gown when she was doing anything
related to trach care, wound care, or peri-care. She stated she did not know why she did not put on a gown.
She stated she knew she was supposed to put on a gown when caring for Resident #1 because she was
on EBP and stated there was no excuse for why she did not.
During a telephone interview on 1/30/2025 at 11:39 a.m., CNA B declined to view the video of Resident #1
dated 1/25/2025. CNA B stated she was not aware Resident #1 was on EBP. She stated all the residents
had gowns positioned on their doors. She stated she believed the gowns and other PPE were there as an
option and were not a requirement because it was optional. CNA B stated she could not remember being
trained on EBP. CNA B stated she was reliant on the nursing staff to inform her when she needed to use
PPE. She stated LVN A was the wound care nurse and was usually adamant about using precautions, but
LVN A did not say anything, so she did not know she needed to wear a gown. CNA B stated she knew she
was supposed to wear gloves but not the gown.
During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 11:35 a.m., the Administrator stated the DON was not at the facility.

requesting a return call. No return call was received prior to exit.
During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 11:48 a.m., LVN C stated she was currently working on obtaining her
Infection Prevention certification and had completed approximately half of the required training. She stated
provided supervision of staff to ensure they are following infection prevention principles including EBP, hand
washing, and isolation procedures. She stated she also provided training to staff. LVN C stated EBP were
for residents with invasive devices including pegs , traches, chronic wounds, Foley catheters, and other
indwelling items on the body. LVN C stated Resident #1 met the criteria for EBP because she had all of
those things. She stated Resident #1's door hand a teal hanger with gowns and a sign indicating EBP. She
stated staff should wear a gown when providing care for any indwelling item. LVN C stated she did not know
if a gown should be worn during peri-care. LVN C stated staff should change gloves and use hand hygiene
after removing a dirty dressing and after cleansing the wound and after wound care if they continued to
touch the resident. She stated any time gloves were changed hand hygiene either using hand sanitizer or
washing the hands was expected. She stated she had never heard of changing gloves 3 times before
utilizing hand hygiene. LVN C stated using appropriate infection control principles was important because
they did not want to spread infection. She stated the residents at the facility were super susceptible
because a lot of them had extra openings and they want to prevent the spread of infection.

Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms
(MDROs) to residents. 2. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care
activities when contact precautions do not otherwise apply. A. Gloves and gown are applied prior to
performing the high contact resident care activity (as opposed to before entering the room) 3. Examples of
high-contact resident care activities requiring the use of gown and gloves for EBPs included: a. dressing e.
changing linens f. changing briefs or assisting with toileting g. Device care or use (central line , urinary
catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator, etc.) and h. wound care (any skin opening requiring a
dressing). 5. EBPs are indicated for residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices regardless of
MDRO colonization.
Record review of a facility policy titled Handwashing/Hand Hygiene last revised August 2015 revealed: This
facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of infections. 7. Use an
alcohol-based hand rub containing at least 62% alcohol; or alternatively, soap (antimicrobial or
non-antimicrobial) and water for the following situations: b. before and after direct contact with residents d.
before performing any non-surgical invasive procedures e. before and after handling invasive devices (e.g.
urinary catheters, IV access sites), g. before handling clean or soiled dressings, gauze pads, etc. h. before
moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during resident care i. after contact with a
residents intact skin j. after contact with blood or bodily fluids k. after handling used dressings,
contaminated equipment, etc. l. after contact with objects (e.g. medical equipment) in the immediate vicinity
of the resident m. after removing gloves n. before and after entering isolation precaution settings 9. The use
of gloves does not replace hand washing/hand hygiene. Integration of glove use along with routine hand
hygiene is recognized as the best practice for preventing healthcare-associated infections.
Record review of a facility policy, titled Wound Care last revised 2010 revealed: 2. Wash and dry and dry
your hands thoroughly 3. Position resident 4. Put on exam glove. Loosen tape and remove dressing 5. Pull
glove over dressing and discard into appropriate receptacle. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly. 6. Put on
gloves. 8. Pour liquid solutions directly on gauze sponges on their papers 13. Dress wound .16. Discard
