Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a baseline care plan within 48 hours of a resident's admission for 2 (Resident #172 & Resident #3) of 5 residents reviewed for baseline care plans. The facility failed to develop a baseline care plan for Resident #172 & Resident #3 within the required 48-hour timeframe. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving necessary care and services or having important care needs identified and met.
Findings included: Review of Resident #172's face sheet dated 02/09/23 revealed Resident #172 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) exacerbation (sudden worsening airway function and respiratory symptoms in patients with COPD), sepsis (the body's extreme response to an infection), acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (impairment of gas exchange between the lungs and the blood causing hypoxia with or without hypercapnia and essential (primary) hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure that's not the result of a medical condition). Review of the most recent MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #172 had a BIMS score of 8 indicting resident was moderately cognitively impaired. Review of Resident #172's clinical record revealed a baseline care plan was not completed/documented. Review of Resident #3's face sheet dated 02/09/23 revealed Resident #3 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications (chronic disease that causes a person's blood glucose levels to rise too high), and hypertensive heart disease without heart failure (heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure that is present over a long time). Review of the most recent MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #3 did not have a BIMS score available.

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 and prevention control program that included, at a minimum, a system for preventing and controlling infections for 2 of 2 residents (Residents #8 and Resident #28) reviewed for infection control in that:
Residents Affected - Few
CNA A while providing incontinent care for Resident # 8 and CNA C for Resident # 28, contaminated the whole packet of wet wipes by pulling out individual wipes from the packet with unclean gloves. This failure could place the residents at the facility at risk of transmission of diseases and infection.
Findings included: Record review of Resident #8's face sheet, dated 01/08/23, reflected Resident #8 initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].

CNA C and CNA D entered Resident #28's room and donned gloves (putting on disposable gloves) after washing their hands. CNA D helped CNA C by holding the resident in position while CNA C cleaning the perineal area. Initially CNA C used her right hand for cleaning while pulling out wipes from the packet with her left hand. She then changed her gloves and helped CNA D to turn the resident to her left side. CNA C then wiped Resident #28's buttocks area with both the hands. She contaminated the whole packet by touching it with soiled gloves while pulling out individual wipes. After the completion of cleaning, they left the contaminated packet on the table besides resident #28 for future use and left the room. CNA A contaminated a whole packet of wipes by touching it with dirty gloves while pulling out wipes from it.

28)If visibly soiled or contaminated during the procedure, disinfect, or discard the barrier towel on the table 29)Return resident items on the table
Residents Affected - Few 30)Tie off the disposable plastic bag of trash and/or linen 31)Perform hand hygiene . According to the website https://apps.hhs.texas.gov/providers/NF/credentialing/cna/infection-control/module3/Module_3_PPE_122021_print.html dated 12/20/21 the Health and Human Service, Texas, accessed on 02/11/23, recommended the following for gloves use. Gloves are designed to protect your hands from pathogens and to prevent the spread of pathogens. Unintentionally transferring a pathogen to your bare hands is an easy way to spread a contagion through your facility . DOs: Perform hand hygiene before and after resident contact, even when gloves are worn. Work from clean to dirty. Perform hand hygiene after glove removal. Change gloves as needed during resident care activities. DON'Ts: Touch yourself while wearing contaminated gloves. Handle clean materials, equipment, or surfaces while wearing contaminated gloves. Wear the same pair of gloves for the care of more than one resident. Wash disposable gloves. It is important to note that gloves can spread illnesses just like bare hands. Wearing gloves does not stop the transfer of pathogens. It is very easy for cross-contamination to occur even when wearing gloves. Be mindful of the order in which you touch things (remember clean to dirty) and when you may need to change gloves mid-procedure
