Interview on 10/11/2023 at 1:45 PM with LVN B, she stated she thought as long as she did care on the
same resident it was not necessary to change gloves. LVN B stated she thought the policy might say to
change gloves between dirty and clean. She stated she could imagine cross contamination could occur if
gloves were not changed and proper hand hygiene was not preformed.
Interview on 10/12/2023 at 1:00 PM with the DON, she stated her expectations was infection control and
proper hand hygiene be used by staff when providing any resident care. When preforming wound care the
gloves should be changed and hand hygiene done between removing the dirty dressing and wound
cleaning and applying wound treatments and a clean dressing . Potential risk to resident is infection of the
wound.
Interview on 10/12/2023 at 1:30 PM with the ADM, he stated his expectation was all staff followed the
infection control and hand hygiene policies when interacting with residents. He stated he expected the
policy and procedures for resident care be followed. He stated failure to follow these policies could place
the residents at risk of infection.
Record review of the policy titled Dressing Dry/clean, dated September 2013, revealed .6. Put on clean
gloves, loosen tape and remove soiled dressing, 7. Pull glove over dressing and discard into plastic or
biohazard bag. 8. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly. 13. Put on clean gloves, 15. Cleanse the wound as
