Observation and interview on 12/07/2024 at 3:01 PM revealed Resident #1 was in her bed, awake. It was
observed that there was a nebulizer machine on top of the resident's right-side table and a breathing mask
was connected to the machine. The breathing mask was on top of the machine and was not bagged. The

Review of Resident #2's Face Sheet, dated 12/07/2024, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female
admitted on [DATE]. Resident #2 was diagnosed with chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and muscle
weakness.
Review of Resident #2's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 10/22/2024, reflected the resident was
cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13. Resident #2's Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated the
resident was on oxygen therapy while a resident of the facility.

Review of Resident #2's Physician Order, dated 12/07/2023, reflected O2 @ 2L via NC CONTINUOUS
every shift for SOB.
Observation on 12/07/2024 at 3:11 PM revealed Resident #2 was in her bed, awake. Resident #2 was
wearing the nasal cannula and receiving oxygen. It was also observed that the resident had a wheelchair at
bedside with a portable oxygen tank at the back. A nasal cannula was noted connected to the portable
oxygen tank and the nasal cannula was hanging on the wheelchair's right wheel. The nasal cannula was
not bagged and almost touching the right wheel of the wheelchair.
In an interview with CNA B on 12/07/2024 at 3:49 PM, CNA B stated the wheelchair was Resident #2's
wheelchair. He said the nasal cannula should not be hanging by the wheel because it would get dirty. He
said he would tell the nurse the nasal cannula was hanging by the wheel.
Observation and interview with RN A on 12/07/2024 at 3:56 PM, RN A stated the breathing mask and the
nasal cannula should be inside a clean bag when not in use to protect them from transfer of germs and
probable infection. RN A entered Resident #1's room and saw the resident's breathing mask sitting on top
of the nebulizer machine. He disconnected the breathing mask, threw it the trash can and said he would get
a new one, and would put the breathing mask inside a bag. He said he administered the resident's
breathing treatment around 3 PM and the resident must have removed it when it was done. He said he
should have checked if the resident was done, cleaned the breathing mask and put it inside the bag. RN A
went out of Resident #1's room. After leaving Resident #1's room, he went inside Resident #2's room, and
saw the nasal cannula was hanging at the back at the wheel of the wheelchair. RN A disconnected
Resident #2's nasal cannula and threw it in the trash can. He said he would also replace it. He said he did
not notice the nasal cannula was hanging and almost touching the wheel of the wheelchair.

In an interview with the Administrator on 12/07/2024 at 4:48 PM, the Administrator stated the breathing
mask and the nasal cannula should be kept clean to prevent any respiratory infection. He said he would
coordinate with the DON regarding the needed in-service about respiratory care. He said the expectation
was for the staff to bag the breathing mask and the nasal cannula every time the resident was not using it.
In an interview with the DON on 12/07/2024 at 5:17 PM, the DON stated the breathing mask and the nasal
cannula should be stored properly when not in use to keep them clean. She said if the breathing mask and
the nasal cannula were not bagged, exposed, or touching surfaces that were not clean, there could be
cross contamination, respiratory infection, and compromised oxygen administration. She said the
expectation was for the staff to be mindful in making sure that the breathing mask and the nasal cannula
was properly stored. She said she would make an in-service and re-educate the staff about storing the
breathing mask and the nasal cannula properly.
Facility's policy for bagging the nasal cannula requested via email to the Administrator on 12/07/2024 at
4:30 PM but was not provided prior to exit.

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
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 and to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one (Resident #2) of five
residents reviewed for Infection Control.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure that CNA B changed his gloves and performed hand hygiene while providing
incontinent care to Resident #2 on 12/07/2024.
This failure could place the residents at risk of cross-contamination and development of infections.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #2's Face Sheet, dated 12/07/2024, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female
admitted on [DATE]. Resident #2 was diagnosed with muscle weakness and muscle atrophy (decrease in
size of a body part).
Review of Resident #2's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 10/22/2024, reflected the resident was
cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13. Resident #2's Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated the
resident needed maximal assistance for toileting.
Review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 10/27/2024, reflected the resident had an ADL
self-care performance deficit related to weakness and one of the interventions was provide assistance with
personal hygiene.
Observation and interview with CNA B on 12/07/2024 at 3:49 PM revealed CNA B was about to provide
Resident #2's incontinent care. CNA B took with him a box of gloves, wipes, and a brief inside the room and
placed them on the resident's overbed table. He did not place any hand sanitizer on the overbed table. He
washed his hands and put on a pair of gloves. CNA B raised the bed and lowered the head of the bed. He
unfastened the resident's brief, pushed it between the resident's legs, and cleaned the resident's perineal
area (area between the thighs) using the front to back technique. After cleaning the perineal area, he took
off his gloves, threw them to the trash can, and put on a new pair of gloves. He did not sanitize in between
changing of gloves. He assisted the resident to roll towards the wall and started to clean the resident's
bottom. After cleaning the resident's bottom, he rolled the soiled brief, pulled it, and threw it in the trash can.
He changed his gloves but did not sanitize his hands before putting on a pair of gloves. After changing his
gloves, CNA B touched the trash can and tied the plastic bag inside the trash can into a knot. After tying the
plastic bag, CNA B took the new brief from the overbed table, put it under the resident, and fixed it. He did
not change his gloves after touching the trash can and before touching the new brief. When CNA B was
done with incontinent care, he took off his gloves and washed his hands. He stated he did wash his hands
before and after incontinent care and he also changed his gloves after cleaning the resident the resident's
perineal area and bottom. He said he was supposed to sanitize or wash his hands when he changed his
glove to be sure his hands were clean when he put on the new gloves. He said he should have changed his
gloves after touching the trash can because the trash can is dirty. He said his action could result to cross
contamination and infection. He said he had in-services about hand hygiene and infection control but was
not able to apply it.
