Resident #1's transfer requirements to a Hoyer lift, and she just updated her care plan.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview with the DON on 7/21/2023 at 9:00 AM, she said she thought they had 5 days once the
incident investigation was done to do the care plan. The DON said the MDS coordinator had been on
vacation and that is why the care plan was late.
During an interview with CNA E and CNA B on 7/21/2023 at 4:25 PM, they said they received a turnover
report and were told then Resident #1 was a Hoyer lift now because of her arm.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, 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 infections, for one of (Resident #2) of
five residents that were reviewed for infection control and transmission-based precautions policies and
practices, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
NA A did not perform hand hygiene prior to commencement of perineal care. NA A proceeded to clean
perineal area without performing hand hygiene and maintained usage of dirty gloves throughout care.
These failures could place residents at risk for infection through cross contamination of pathogens.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #2's Face Sheet dated 07/21/2023, admitted originally 03/28/2019, with
readmission date, documented a [AGE] year-old female with the following diagnoses of: dementia, cognitive
communication deficit, pain, bipolar disorder (serious mental illness that causes unusual shifts in mood,
ranging from extreme highs (mania or manic episodes) to lows (depression or depressive episode), type
two diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar).
Record review of Resident #2's MDS dated [DATE] documented 7 out of 15 BIMS score suggesting severe
cognitive impairment. As well as extensive dependency of staff to assist in activities of daily living.
Record review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan date initiated 03/01/2021 and revised
06/02/2023 stated, Focus: Resident #2 has episodes of bowel/bladder incontinence r/t Dementia and
Impaired mobility. Goal: Resident #2 will remain free from skin breakdown due to incontinence and brief
use. Interventions: brief use: Resident #2 uses disposable briefs. Change q 2 hours and prn. Clean
peri-area with each incontinence episode. Incontinent: check q2 hours and as required for incontinence.
Resident #2 requests not to be disturbed during hours of sleep. Wash, rinse, and dry perineum. Change
clothing PRN after incontinence episodes.
Observation on 07/21/2023 at 2:57 PM NA A knocked and entered Resident #2's room and was granted
permission from Resident #2 to perform perineal care. NA A washed her hands for 40 seconds and
proceeded to grab Resident #2's bed remote to reposition the resident's bed using their bare hands. NA A
continued by pulling string from Resident #2s overhead light, removed Resident #2's blankets and
unlatched Resident #2's brief that was visibly soiled, all bare handed. After touching the multiple surfaces
with bare hands, NA A did not perform hand hygiene prior to applying clean gloves. NA A commenced the
perineal care, once finished with the perineal area, NA A turned R#2 to the left side by grabbing Resident
#2's right leg and lifting the right leg up and over to the left side of bed. NA A then proceed to remove her
dirty gloves and applied a new pair of clean gloves without performing hand hygiene, followed by cleaning
excrement from R#2's gluteal folds.
During interview on 07/21/2023 at 3:12 PM with NA A, inquired about the procedural steps taken on
Resident #2's perineal care. To which NA A responded, she should have performed hand hygiene after

touching the multiple surfaces prior to perineal care. NA A stated she was nervous and was overthinking in
her head. NA A stated once she was done cleaning the perineum area, she should have removed her dirty
gloves, performed hand hygiene, and applied a new pair of gloves prior to turning Resident #2. NA A stated
by performing hand hygiene followed by applying a new set of gloves before performing rectum cleaning
care, would be a preventative measure to promote infection control and minimize potential of cross
contamination. NA A stated by touching the bed remote, light string, Resident #2's blanket and soiled brief,
followed then by Resident #2's perineal area, could have exposed Resident #2 to infectious
microorganisms. NA A stated she was in serviced about infection control and hand hygiene two weeks ago
but was nervous and forgot her training.
During interview on 07/21/2023 at 4:02 PM with the DON, she stated prior to the commencement of
perineal care, NA A should have performed hand hygiene after touching the multiple surfaces as a
preventative measure to assist in infection control. The DON stated by not performing hand hygiene and
glove change prior to turning Resident #2, NA A potentially exposed Resident #2 to infectious
microorganisms or potential spread of bacteria. When DON was asked the reasoning as to why these
specific steps were necessitated, the DON replied to minimize risk of infection. The DON stated it is a
standard of practice to clean from cleanest to dirtiest. The DON stated she facilitated an in-service on
perineal/incontinent care not too long ago. The DON stated she will weekly select four to five random
clinical staff members and request they perform skills check off. The DON stated each skill check off is
focused on infection control.
Record Review of Hand Hygiene Policy, revision date 10/2020 stated,
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;
h. Before moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during resident care;
j. After contact with blood or bodily fluids;
l. After contact with objects (e.g., medical equipment) in the immediate vicinity of the resident;
m. After removing gloves;

clinical indications: Immediately before touching a patient, before performing an aseptic task (e.g., placing
an indwelling device) or handling invasive medical devices, before moving from work on a soiled body site
to a clean body site on the same patient, after touching a patient or the patient's immediate environment,
after contact with blood, body fluids or contaminated surfaces, and
