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 designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 3 staff (Treatment
Nurse) and 1 of 1 resident (Resident #1) reviewed for infection control. The facility failed to ensure the
Treatment Nurse performed appropriate glove changes and hand hygiene between glove changes while
performing wound care on Resident #1 on 12/12/25. This failure could place residents at risk for
cross-contamination, spread of infection and could potentially affect all others in the building. Findings
included: During an observation on 12/12/25 at 10:07 a.m., the Treatment Nurse did not perform hand
hygiene, applied clean gloves, entered Resident #1's room, cleansed the bedside table, laid down a barrier
(a protective pad to keep wound care supplies clean), set her supplies on top of the barrier, and removed
her gloves. The Treatment Nurse did not perform hand hygiene and applied clean gloves. The Treatment
Nurse removed the dirty dressing from Resident #1's sacral area (triangular-shaped bone at the base of the
spine that supports the upper body's weight while sitting), removed her gloves, did not perform hand
hygiene, and applied clean gloves. The Treatment Nurse cleansed the wound to Resident #1's sacral area,
did not change gloves and did not perform hand hygiene. The Treatment Nurse applied collagen powder (a
powder that forms a protective gel and creates a moist environment to speed up wound healing for chronic
wounds) to Resident #1's wound on her sacral area and covered with a bordered dressing (an absorptive
dressing consisting of three layers). The Treatment Nurse did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene.
The Treatment Nurse removed the sock from Resident #1's right foot and observed the wound/discolored
area to Resident #1's right heel. The Treatment Nurse applied betadine to Resident #1's right heel. The
Treatment Nurse removed her gloves, did not perform hand hygiene, gathered her trash, exited the room,
disposed of her trash, got a clean blanket off the linen cart and handed it to a CNA (name unknown), and
then performed hand hygiene. During an interview on 12/12/25 at 10:32 a.m., the Treatment Nurse said she
had received training on wound care from the DON. The Treatment Nurse said she usually performed hand
hygiene prior to entering a resident room and upon exiting a resident room. The Treatment Nurse said glove
changes should be performed after removing a dirty dressing and when going from one wound to another.
The Treatment Nurse said she did not routinely perform hand hygiene between glove changes. The
Treatment Nurse said the importance of proper hand hygiene and glove changes was infection control.
During an interview on 12/12/25 at 12:20 p.m., the DON said she expected staff to perform hand hygiene
before providing care, during care, after care, and any time gloves were changed. The DON said gloves
should be changed when going from a dirty area to a clean area, after every step in providing care such as
removing dressing, cleansing a wound, and then putting the wound treatment and dressing on a wound,
and when going from one wound to another wound. The DON said the importance of appropriate glove
changes and hand hygiene was to prevent infections and cross contamination. Record review of the
