LVN B did not have a gown on and only had gloves on. Resident #1 was observed to have a colostomy to his abdomen, a foley catheter hanging on the side of the bed, and a PICC line to his LUA. In an interview on 12/3/25 at 10:10am, LVN B said EBP was to protect everyone from infections, the staff and the residents. He said when a resident was on EBP, staff were supposed to wear a gown and gloves during treatment. LVN B said he was supposed to have worn a gown when he was performing wound care, but he forgot to put it on. LVN B said if he did not wear the appropriate PPE the resident and himself were at risk for getting infections. In an interview on 12/3/25 at 3:49pm, the DON said EBP was for any residents with invasive lines. She said the staff had to wear a gown and gloves, and they were worn during any treatment that was given to the resident. She said EBP was to prevent any contamination from the resident or the staff. The DON said she provided training on EBP at the monthly staff meetings and the last one was in November 2025. Record review of the facility's policy and procedures on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (June 2025) read in part: It is the policy of this facility to implement enhanced barrier precautions for the prevention of transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms. Enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) refer to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and gloves use during high contact resident care activities.An order for enhanced barrier precautions will be obtained for residents with any of the following: Wounds (e.g., chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds, and chronic venous stasis ulcers) and/or indwelling medical devices (e.g., centrallines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, tracheostomy [tube inserted into hole in throat]/ventilator tubes [machine that breathes for you], hemodialysis catheters [line into vein for dialysis], PICC lines, midline catheters) even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with a MDRO. (Peripheral IVs, continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, or ostomies without an associated indwelling medical device are not an indication for EBP.).The Infection Preventionist will incorporate periodic monitoring and assessment of adherence to determine the need for additional training and education.High-contact resident care activities include: Device care or use: central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, tracheostomy/ventilator tubes, hemodialysis catheters, PICC lines, midline catheters, Wound care.Enhanced barrier precautions should be used for the duration of the affected resident's stay in the facility or until resolution of the wound or discontinuation of the indwelling medical device that placed them at higher risk.
