F 0694 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Resident #42 needed to be changed on 3/16/25 due to her not being able to find a central line dressing change kit. RN E said the nurse did not respond but kept writing and taking report. Observation on 03/20/25 at 2:25PM of PICC line dressing change for Resident #42 by LVN B. LVN B entered the room with 2 central line dressing change kits, sanitized her workspace, and washed her hands. LVN B said the reason she took 2 central dressing kits in Resident #42's room was because this technique made her feel more comfortable. LVN B began to open one of the kits and removed a sterile pair of gloves to remove resident old PICC line dressing. Prior to removing the old dressing, LVN B did not measure the length of the external tubing starting at the site to compare at the end of dressing change to ensure the catheter tubing remained in the same place. While removing the old dressing, LVN B began to remove the adhesive dressing by pulling away from the PICC line site instead toward the site to prevent dislodging the PICC line. LVN B proceeded to remove the Statlock (an adhesive device that sticks to the arm to secure placement and prevent excessive movement). The PICC line site was free of any redness, drainage, or swelling. LVN B walked away from the bedside to sanitize her hands and returned to open the second kit placing on a new set of sterile gloves to clean the PICC line site. When LVN B finished cleaning the site, she placed a transparent (thin see-through film dressing) dressing over the site and then tried to measure the external catheter tubing. Interview on 03/20/25 at 2:52PM with LVN B said she thought she did okay but was nervous when changing Resident #42's PICC line dressing. LVN B said she forgot to measure the external length of resident PICC line prior to removing the old dressing.
