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, interview, 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 infections for 3 of 9 residents (Resident
#1, Resident #2, and Resident #3) reviewed for infection control practices.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure ADON A and the Restorative Aide applied enhanced barrier precautions
while transferring Resident # 1 from her wheelchair to her bed.
2. The facility failed to ensure that CNA J and CNA G sanitized their hands when providing incontinent care
to Resident #2 and Resident #3.
These failures could place residents at risk of cross-contamination and infections leading to illness.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet indicated the resident was a 92-year- old female who
was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of dementia (a group of thinking and social
symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), Dysphagia (a term for difficulty swallowing), and
Neuromuscular Dysfunction of Bladder (condition that affects the muscles and nerves that controls the
bladder).
Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment, dated 3/15/2025, revealed a BIMS summary
score of 3, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The MDS also indicated Resident #1 was dependent
with all activities of daily living (ADL).
Record review of Resident #1's care plan initiated on 11/05/2024, indicated Resident #1 required enhanced
barrier precautions determined by presence of Foley Catheter. Interventions included follow facility's
enhanced barrier precaution policy and staff will wear an isolation gown and gloves while providing all
contact care.
During an observation on 3/29/2025 at 1:19 PM, ADON A and the restorative aide was observed
transferring Resident #1 from the wheelchair to the bed without wearing proper personal protective
equipment. Enhanced barrier precautions signage was posted on outside door and PPE was noted outside
room.
During an interview on 3/29/2025 at 1:49 PM, the restorative aide said she forgot to put on her protective
personal equipment (PPE) prior to assisting the ADON with the transfer. The restorative aide

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Some
said she had been in-serviced a couple of months ago and was aware that she was supposed to wear PPE
when transferring Resident #1 to her bed. She said she was in a rush to try to assist ADON A and forgot to
put on her gown and gloves.
During an interview on 3/29/2025 at ADON A said personal protective equipment should be worn when
transferring Resident #1. ADON A said wearing PPE protected the resident. ADON A said she had been
educated on EBP and PPE and should have donned (to put on and use PPE properly to achieve the
intended protection and minimize the risk of exposure) her gloves and gown. ADON A said the infection
control training was a couple of weeks ago and included EBP. She said the risk of not wearing PPE was
infection.
Record review of Resident #2's undated face sheet indicated the resident was a [AGE] year-old female who
was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of cerebral infarction (blood flow to the brain is
blocked, leading to brain tissue damage), Hemiplegia (paralysis or weakness on one side of the body), and
Type 2 Diabetes( long-term condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar).
Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/18/2024, revealed a BIMS summary
score of 13, indicating cognitively intact.
Record review of Resident #2's care plan initiated on 9/05/2024, indicated Resident #2 was at risk for an
ADL Self Care Performance Deficit related to decline in health. The interventions included providing total
assistance of 1-2 staff participation to use toilet/incontinent care.
Observation and Interview on 03/29/25 at 11:35 AM Resident #2 said the staff provided incontinent care
routinely and as needed. She denied skin break down and said the CNA was about to provide incontinent
care because she had a bowel movement.
Observation of incontinent care on 03/29/25 at 11:45 AM, CNA J was observed performing incontinent
care. CNA J introduced herself and explained the incontinent care procedure. CNA J did not wash her
hands prior to initiating incontinent care. She double gloved and cleaned Resident #2's abdominal folds
times one wipe and proceeded to clean labia per protocol. CNA J removed her 1st set of gloves, as she
was doubled gloved. CNA J turned the resident to her left side and cleaned the stool from the resident's
buttocks in an upward motion with several wipes using the same gloves. CNA J used the same soiled
gloves that held the dirty wipes to reenter the multi-wipe package. Stool was noted on outside of multi-wipe
package. She removed and discarded the soiled brief. She opened Resident #2's barrier cream and applied
the cream to the resident's buttocks. She applied a new brief and removed her gloves. She discarded the
trash and used hand sanitizer once completed.
During an interview on 3/29/2025 at 11:51 AM, CNA J said she double gloved because Resident #2's
bedside table was cluttered and there was no place to setup her supplies. She said there was no hand
sanitizer available in the room and would have to go in the hallway to sanitize her hands. She said she did
not wash her hands, but she did use sanitizer prior to donning gloves and after completion of incontinent
care. CNA J said the risk of using the same gloves and double gloving was spreading infection and cross
contamination.
Record review of Resident #3's undated face sheet indicated the resident was a [AGE] year-old male who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of acute pyelonephritis (Kidney infection, an illness in
one or both kidneys), paraplegia (complete or partial paralysis of the lower half of

in-services on infection control and incontinent care. She said she did not use hand sanitizer prior to
donning new gloves because she did not have any sanitizer to use. She said staff should wash and/or
sanitized hands per policy. She said the risk of not washing hands could cause infection to self or other
residents.

PPE with residents on EBP and proper handwashing and incontinent care. She said the last in-service on
infection control was 12/12/24 (FTG), 02/29/25 (EBP), and 03/13/25 (Infection control concerns for
Resident #1). ADON B said the risk of not following EBP and not sanitizing hands could cause infection and
cross-contamination.

enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) and infection control. The DON said she expected her staff to wear
