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 on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection control program
designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and sanitary environment to help prevent the development and
transmission of diseases for two of two residents (Residents #1, #2,) and 2 of 2 CNAs (CNA A, B) reviewed
for incontinent care.
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.
Record review of Resident #1's Annual assessment dated [DATE] revealed Section C Brief Interview for
Mental Status score revealed a score of 15, which indicated the resident's cognition was intact. Section H Bladder and Bowel: HO300 Urinary continence was coded 3, 3 - Always incontinent (no episodes of
continent voiding). H0400 Bowel Continence was coded 3, 3 - Always incontinent (no episodes of continent
bowel movements).
Resident #2

During an interview with CNA A on 05/08/2023 at 10:52 am, CNA A stated that she had not been trained in
infection control practices. CNA A stated that the form of training for other things is usually in-services, but
she has not been trained in infection control practices. CNA A stated that she is not sure who is in charge of
making sure that training is completed. CNA A stated that she did understand the errors of failing to wash
hands before, during, and after resident care, incorrect cleaning technique for incontinent care and catheter
care that was found while observations of providing incontinent care. CNA A stated that she would normally
wash hands before, during, and after care. CNA A stated that she is not sure why she did not do this. CNA
A stated, I guess I was a little nervous. 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. CNA A stated that by placing the bandage back on the wound with it being
soaked with urine could make the wound worse. CNA A stated that she wasn't thinking about that at the
time she did that.
During an interview with CNA B on 05/08/2023 at 11:13 am, CNA B stated that she has not been trained in
infection control practices. CNA B stated that she did have a hand washing check off but it's been a while
back (fall of 2022). CNA B stated she is not aware of who is responsible of making sure that training is
completed. CNA B stated, Maybe the administrator. CNA B said that she understands the errors of failing to
wash hands before, during, or after resident care, that were found during the observation of incontinent
care. CNA B stated that they are supposed to wash hands before and after providing care. CNA B stated
that she thought since she had gloves it would be okay to not wash hands. CNA B stated that if gloves were
to break then she would have possibly exposed the resident or other residents to the spread of germs and
infections. CNA B stated that she is aware that it is not hygienic practice to not wash your hands before and
after providing care to residents.
During an interview with the DON and the Administrator at same time on 05/09/2023 at 3:18 pm, the DON
stated she trains staff to ensure they have proper techniques for incontinent care. Stated on hire there is a
check off and annual skills fair. Stated they work with the agency themselves to make sure their staff has
the correct credentials and then when they come to the facility, they get an orientation to the floor when
they start to show where supplies are located. The DON stated she did incontinent care in-service and
hand washing. The DON stated that by not washing hands you could spread germs. Administrator stated
she would not expect staff to put the soiled bandage back on the wound but get the nurse and put a clean
dressing on the wound. Potential outcome Infection and worsening wound. Administrator stated that she will
start working on an in-service for infection control practices and hand washing.

Record Review of CDC guidelines for hand hygiene, https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/index.html,
date not provided, revealed:
Hand hygiene protects you and those receiving the care you provide. The simple act of cleaning your hands
can prevent the spread of germs, including those that are resistant to antibiotics. 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. Regular hand washing is one of the best
ways to remove germs, avoid getting sick, and prevent the spread of germs to others.
