RN A and CNA B failed to wear a gown while providing incontinence care to Resident #1, who was on EBP due to having pressure ulcers on her sacral area and foot.2. RN A failed to wear a gown while providing wound care to Resident #1, who was on EBP due to having pressure ulcers on her sacral area and foot.3. LVN C failed to wear a gown while providing wound care to Resident #2, who was on EBP due to having pressure ulcers on her sacral area and left ankle.
