or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to establish and 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 infection for one of six
residents (Resident #1) reviewed for infection control.The facility failed to ensure CNA B wore a gown while
providing incontinence care for Resident #1, who was on enhanced barrier precautions (use of gown and
gloves during high contact resident care), on 01/07/2026. This failure could place residents at risk of
cross-contamination and development of infections.Findings include: Record review of Resident #1's Face
Sheet, dated 01/09/2026, reflected a [AGE] year-old female who admitted on [DATE]. Resident #1 had
diagnoses which included cervical spina bifida (the spine and spinal cord do not form properly) and
paraplegia (loss of ability to move the lower half of the body). Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly
MDS (tool used to measure health status) Assessment, dated 12/26/2025, reflected intact cognition with a
BIMS (tool used to measure cognitive status) score of 15. Section H (Bladder and Bowel) reflected
Resident #1 had an indwelling urinary catheter. Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care Plan,
dated 12/30/2025, reflected Resident is on enhanced barrier precautions. Interventions included Gloves
and gown should be donned if any of the following activities are to occur: linen change, resident hygiene,
transfer, dressing, toileting/incontinent care, bed mobility, wound care, enteral feeding care, catheter care,
trach care, bathing, or other high-contact activity. Posting at the residents room entrance indicating the
resident is on enhanced barrier precautions. An observation and interview on 01/07/2026 at 5:06 PM
revealed CNA B exited Resident #1's room. When asked about Resident #1, CNA B stated she had just
provided incontinent care. When asked if staff needed to wear gloves and a gown to provide care for
Resident #1, CNA B replied she wore gloves but not a gown. CNA B stated she thought a gown was
required if the resident had a certain type of infection or an infected wound. An enhanced barrier precaution
sign was posted outside Resident #1's door. The sign indicated for staff to wear a gown and gloves during
incontinence care. There was a plastic cabinet with drawers containing personal protective equipment
outside Resident #1's door. CNA B looked at the enhanced barrier protection sign and replied, yes, when
asked if the resident had a urinary catheter. CNA B stated personal protective equipment was important to
prevent contaminating staff and their clothing and to prevent spreading infection around the building. During
an interview on 01/07/2026 at 5:12 PM, Resident #1 was asked if staff wore a gown and gloves during
incontinence care. She replied, some did and some did not. Resident #1's catheter bag hung on the side of
the bed. It was in a privacy bag and did not touch the floor. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 5:10 PM,
LVN A stated Resident #1 was on enhanced barrier precautions related to a urinary catheter. LVN A stated
CNA B should have worn gloves and a gown when providing incontinent care. LVN A stated it was
