During an interview on 06/03/2025 at 2:45 p.m., CNA A said she had been oriented about the Kardex system. CNA A said on 09/19/2024 she was making her last rounds around 4:30 - 5:00 a.m. alone and was going to provide incontinent care.

She said Resident #1 was a 2 person assist with task but because the facility was always short staffed, she had to provide the care by herself. She said Resident #1 was a large lady and she should have had someone assist her while providing care. She said that the Kardex provided if the resident required 1 or 2 persons to assist with care and Resident #1 was a 2 person assist and she should have requested help or waited on help.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 2 out of 3 (Resident #2 and Resident #3) residents reviewed for enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) and the wound care process for infection control practices. Residents Affected - Few LVN B failed to follow enhanced barrier precautions while providing wound care for Resident #3.
