The facility failed to implement an accurate individualized comprehensive care plan which identified Resident #1 would benefit from having quarter side rails applied to the bed to assist her with bed mobility. This failure could place residents at risk for injuries or illness associated with immobility.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review 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 diseases and infections for one (Resident #4) of 5 residents reviewed for infection control. Residents Affected - Few 1. TN failed to clear and sanitize Resident #4's bedside prior to beginning wound care. 2. TN failed to change gloves or perform hand hygiene while providing wound care for Resident #4. 3. TN failed to sanitize Resident #4's bedside table at the completion of wound care. These failures could affect residents by placing them at risk for contamination of their wounds and causing unnecessary infections. Findings include: In an observation of Resident #4's wound care on 7/18/2023 at 10:31 AM, before setting up wound care supplies, TN washed her hands and returned to the cart. TN placed wax paper on top of the treatment cart for the supplies needed for the treatment. A medicated patch was placed on the wax paper in the open package, collagen powder was tapped out onto the medicated patch. Santyl (gel used to promote wound healing) was squeezed into a plastic medicine cup and placed on the wax paper. The cover dressing was removed from the package, labeled as per facility policy, placed on the wax paper and carried into Resident #4's room. The wax paper containing the treatment supplies was placed on Resident #4's un-sanitized bedside table. The bedside table contained the following items: a Styrofoam cup filled with a clear liquid, a large unused foam dressing, several saline bullets, closed package of skin cleaning wipes, a bottle of skin cleanser and a hair scrunchie. The old dressing was removed by the TN and dropped in the garbage. The wound was cleaned with saline and gauze, allowed to dry. Santyl applied using no-touch technique (Qtips). TN picked up the alginate which contained the collagen powder and pressed the powder into the wound. TN, tore the medicated patch to the size needed to cover the wound, applied it to the wound. TN applied the cover dressing to the wound. TN did not perform hand hygiene or change gloves during the treatment. In an interview on 07/18/2023 at 2:11 PM, TN stated that the table was not sanitized because the wax paper provided a barrier between the table and the supplies. Frequency of glove changes depends on the type of wound. When working with a dirty wound would change gloves often. While talking through her process, she stated that she should have changed gloves after removal of the dirty dressing. TN said hand hygiene and glove changes are done often during wound care to prevent cross contamination. TN provided no rationale for why gloves were not changed during the observation. TN stated that there had been no time to review the facility policy or procedure regarding wound care.
