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, interviews, and record reviews, 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 disease and infection for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #1)
reviewed for infection control, in that: - CNA Z and CNA R failed to wear PPE for EBP, when they provided
incontinence care to Resident #1.- The facility failed to have Enhanced Barrier Precaution signage on the
door or anywhere visible in Resident #1's room.- The facility failed to have PPE readily available for staff to
don before entering Resident #1's room. This deficient practice could place residents at risk for infection,
sepsis (infection throughout body), and hospitalization due to cross contamination.Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on
[DATE], with diagnoses of dementia (decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life),
hemiplegia and hemiparesis (paralysis and weakness) after a stroke, affects from a stroke, history of falling,
unspecified psychosis (psychotic disorder where the symptoms are present but don't fully meet the criteria
for a more specific diagnosis), acute embolism and thrombosis (blockage/blood clot in a blood vessel) of
deep veins in lower extremity, major depression, aphasia (trouble speaking), muscle wasting and atrophy
(muscle decreases in size), and muscle weakness. Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS
Assessment, dated 7/1/2025, revealed a BIMS could not be performed due to the resident's condition. The
resident had moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated the resident
had impairment on one side of his upper and lower extremities and had a limb prosthesis. The resident was
dependent (the helper does all of the effort, or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required) with all
ADL's. The resident was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The MDS indicated Resident #1 had 1
unstageable (wound has dead tissue and wound bed cannot be seen) pressure ulcer and was receiving
wound care. Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 12/13/23, revealed the care plan did not have
the resident's pressure ulcer or the EBP on it. Record review of Resident #1's Progress Notes from 6/26/25
by LVN F, revealed the Wound Care MD recommended an MRI of the L ankle/foot due to an unstageable
wound on the L heel. Record review of Resident #1's Progress Note from 6/27/25 by NP M, revealed he
was being seen for an unstageable wound on the L heel. The resident had just finished abx for a wound
infection and there was concern about the wound not healing over the past couple weeks. Record review of
Resident #1's Physician Orders revealed the following orders from MD C:- Wound Treatment to left heel:
Cleanse with Dakin's solution (wound cleanser), pat dry, apply Santyl (wound debridement), Bactroban
(antibiotic), cover with alginate (promotes wound healing), and secure with dry dressing. Ordered on
6/25/25 at 2:06pm.- MRI of the ankle and foot. DX: LT heel wound. Ordered on 7/1/25 at 9:25am.Enhanced Barrier Precautions due to wounds. Ordered on 7/2/25 at 12:55pm. In an observation on 7/9/25
at 1:22pm, Resident #1 was lying in bed on his back, sleeping. His L heel had a pressure relieving boot on
it and his heels

were floated off the bed. There were no isolation signs on the door. An observation on 7/9/25 at 2:31pm,
revealed CNA Z and CNA R provided incontinence care to Resident #1. Neither CNA had a gown on during
incontinence care. An observation and interview on 7/9/25 at 2:40pm, revealed RN U was about to start
wound care on Resident #1 without a gown on, when the ADON had CNA Z come into the room and
handed RN U a gown to put on. CNA Z said, The ADON told me to bring these gowns in for y'all. I did not
know he had a wound and we messed up when we changed him because we did not have gowns on. In an
interview on 7/9/25 at 2:56pm, RN U said she had to wear a gown during wound care, but she was unsure
of what residents were supposed to be on EBP. She said she was a brand-new nurse out of school and was
brand new with the facility. She said cross contamination could happen if a gown was not worn. In an
interview on 7/9/25 at 2:58pm, CNA Z said EBP was for wounds, but she was not sure what else. She said
she was supposed to wear a gown and gloves, and it was to prevent cross contamination. She said she
was supposed to wear a gown during Resident #1's incontinence care but she did not know he had a
wound because that was not her resident, and she was just assisting. In an interview on 7/9/25 at 3:29pm,
the ADON said EBP was for resident's who had wounds, Foleys (tube into bladder for draining urine), or
dialysis (machine that filters blood instead of kidneys) and gloves, a gown, and a mask should be worn
during close contact, like incontinence care or wound care. She said the PPE was to prevent contamination
to the resident and to the staff. The ADON said she had she had given in-services on Enhanced Barrier
Precautions the week before. Record review of the facility's policy and procedure on Candida auris (C.
auris) Screening and Infection Control Recommendations (Revised 9/27/23) read in part: .Enhanced Barrier
Precautions (EBP) is an approach of targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care
activities, designed to reduce transmission of S. aureus and MDROs. EBP may be applied (when Contact
Precautions do not otherwise apply) to residents with any of the following: Wounds or indwelling medical
devices, regardless of MDRO colonization status. Infection or colonization with an MDRO. A policy on
Infection Control was requested from the facility on 7/9/25 but was not received.
