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 2 of 5 residents (Residents
#1 and #2) reviewed for infection control practices. 1. 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. These failures could place residents at risk of exposure to infectious agents and could lead to the
development of infection.Findings included:1. Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive MDS
Assessment, dated 11/18/25, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female, who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE].The resident had severe cognitive impairment with a BIMS score of 0, and her diagnoses
included pressure ulcer (a skin injury caused by prolonged and constant pressure on a bony prominence)
of the sacral region (the triangular bone located at the base of the spine/lower back), and pressure ulcer on
the medial lateral foot (the inner side of the foot from the heel to the big toe).Record review of Resident #1's
care plan, dated 01/17/26, reflected: Focus: [Resident #1] Enhanced Barrier Precautions. Staff must wear
gowns and gloves during high contact resident care activities that could possibly result in transfer of
MDROs to hands and clothing of staff. Goal: [Resident #1] dignity will be maintained over the next 90 days.
Interventions: Enhanced barrier precaution: staff must use gowns and gloves during high -contact care
activities that could possibly result in transfer of MDROs to hands and clothing of staff. Enhanced Barrier
Precautions are recommended for residents known to be colonized or infected with a MDRO as well as
those who are not confirmed to have an MDRO (e.g . Residents with wounds).Observation on 01/17/26 at
10:43 AM on Resident #1's room revealed a posting on the outside notifying staff and visitors the resident
was on EBP and were required to wear a gown and gloves with all direct care of the resident. There was no
PPE observed outside Resident#1 room. Observation on 01/17/26 at 10:45 AM revealed RN A and CNA B

care to a resident on EBP. They only wore gloves. Observation on 01/17/26 at 11:08 AM revealed RN A
prepared all the wound care supplies, and she entered Resident 1's room. RN A washed her hands, put on
gloves, but she did not put on the gown. She removed the old dressing on the resident's sacral area, dated
01/16/26. She removed her gloves, washed her hands, and put on new gloves. She cleaned the wound,
applied collagen powder to the wound bed, then calcium alginate, and covered the pressure ulcer with a
dry dressing. She then washed her hands and put on clean gloves. RN A removed the old dressing on
Resident #1's medial foot area. The dressing was observed to have some drainage and was dated
01/16/26. She removed
