Residents Affected - Few CNA A and CNA B failed to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before, during, or after performing incontinent care on Resident #1 and #2. CNA A placed on a clean pair of gloves without using hand sanitizer or performing hand washing techniques and then touched Resident #1's bed railing before performing incontinent care. CNA A and CNA B failed to perform the correct techniques while performing incontinent care for Resident #1 and #2. CNA A and B used one wipe to consistently wipe in one spot instead of using one swipe method. CAN A failed to perform the correct cleaning technique for catheter care for Resident #2 These failures could place residents at risk for spread of infection and cross contamination. Findings include: Resident #1 Record review of admission record for Resident #1 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis to include acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (absence of enough oxygen), pneumonia, anemia (lack of red blood cells in the body), hypothyroidism (a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone), vitamin deficiency, hyperlipidemia (a condition in which there are high levels of fat particles in the blood), high blood pressure, pressure ulcer of buttock stage 2.

CNA A stated that she did realize that her techniques were incorrect after she had already completed care for the resident. CNA A stated, I was just really nervous. CNA A stated that the negative potential outcome for not washing hands before, during, or after incontinent care means that she could have spread germs to other residents. CNA A stated that the only thing she could think of to do with Resident #1s open bandage being soaked in urine was to place it back on because she is not certified to clean wounds.

Keeping the skin on your hands healthy and clean is a challenge that requires all healthcare personnel to be knowledgeable about how to care for their hands and when hands should be cleaned.
