CNA D said she believed staff were supposed to use EBP when a resident had a wound, a catheter (urinary bag), or colostomy (bag attached to bag to the stomach area to collect fecal matter), anything open or infected. CNA D said the point of EBP was so the person performing care did not get the resident infected or contaminate the person performing care. There was not a bin of PPE outside of the room or inside the bathroom. Interview on 1/23/25 at 12:57 p.m. the ADON stated Resident #60 was colonized with ESBL caused by e-coli.

F 0880 Goal: There will not be any transmission of infection from or to him. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Interventions: Gloves and gown should be donned if any of the following activated are to occur: transfer. Perform hand sanitization before entering the room and prior to leaving the room. Residents Affected - Some Observation on 1/22/25 at 5:36 p.m. revealed CNA F left the room. CNA F returned to Resident #67's room with a gait belt, washed her hands, put on gloves, and put the gait belt around Resident #67. CNA F assisted Resident #67 to transfer from the wheelchair to the bed. She covered the resident with a resident with her gloves on. There was a bin of PPE (gowns) in the back corner of the room.

There was an EBP sign posted outside of Resident #67's room that reflected, wear gloves and a gown for the following high contact resident care activities: transferring. Interview on 1/22/25 at 6:05 p.m. the ADON stated Resident #67 had MRSA in his toes and he did have a stage III pressure ulcer that was healing but was still open. She stated the transfer expectation was that they would gown up because he was on enhanced barrier precautions. The Regional Consultant who was also present stated that any physical contact required enhanced barrier precautions even if the wound was covered. The ADON stated she expected that Resident #67 would have his own gait belt because he was on enhanced barrier precautions. During an interview on 01/22/25 at 4:50 PM with the ADON, she stated an in-service on EBP was conducted on 3/26/24. In a follow up interview on 1/23/25 at 4:05 p.m. the ADON stated she was the Infection Control Preventionist for the facility. The ADON said gloves not worn or changed during incontinent care stated that was cross-contamination with nasty hands. The ADON stated the expectation for EBP transfers was staff gown up, the gait belt was to stay with the resident, the PPE would be in the resident's room. The ADON stated right now, on the secured unit the PPE was held in the shower room so the residents would not rummage through the bin. The ADON said she and the DON were responsible for monitoring that the aides were using the PPE when going into the EBP room. The ADON said she thought the break down on the secured units was they could not have a bin in the front of the room because the residents would rummage, and she and the DON had discussed putting a sign above the resident's bed to make it more obvious the resident needed PPE. The ADON stated the potential for not following EBP precautions was infections. The Regional Consultant who was present stated the whole point was to stop cross contamination in the building to keep it from getting on clothing and keep it from getting into an open area for another resident and get that resident infected. The ADON said the potential for not washing hands after would be cross contamination. The ADON said Obviously I taught them. I can lead a horse to water, I can't make them drink. The ADON said the DON and she did rounds every day in the morning and in the evening. Review of the facility in-service dated 3/26/24 on Enhanced Barrier Protections revealed: We are using Enhanced Barrier Precautions to help protect our residents from infection. You may notice New signs through the facility. Staff wearing gowns and gloves for high-contact care activities.

Enhanced Barrier Precautions involve gown and 675928 Page 8 of 9 675928 01/23/2025 Sienna Nursing and Rehabilitation 2510 W 8th Street Odessa, TX 79763
F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some glove use during high-contact resident care activities for residents known to be colonized or infected with a MDRO. As well as those at risk of MDRO acquisition (e.g. resident with wounds or indwelling medical devices). Record Review of the facility's policy titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) dated 04/01/2024 indicated in part: Changing briefs or assisting with toileting requires staff to don gloves and a gown. Review of the facility's Orientation Process on Cross Contamination, revised 3/1/24 revealed: Preventing cross-contamination is a key factor in preventing illness. Cross contamination is the spreading of germs, bacteria and/or disease by carrying them from an infected area to a non-infected area. If a healthcare employee is wearing protective gloves and then comes into contact with the resident's blood, he/she is protected. However, if he/she goes to another task without removing the gloves and handwashing, the task area or object has then been cross-contaminated with blood borne pathogens. If he/she puts on a new pair of gloves, but then picks something off the floor and then touches the resident, the resident has been cross-contaminated with numerous unknown bacteria. 675928 Page 9 of 9
