These deficient practices could affect residents and place them at risk for infection, and reinfection. Findings include: Record review of Resident #10''s annual MDS assessment, dated 07/06/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of 10/16/18 and was re-admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included acute cystitis without hematuria (sudden inflammation of the bladder caused by a bacterial infection, also known as a urinary tract infection), cerebrovascular disease ( stroke, brain aneurysms and cerebral arteriovenous/blood clots) and lack of coordination due hemiplegia ( one-sided muscle paralysis or weakness). Record review of Resident #10's annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 11/15 (moderately cognitively intact). She required extensive assistance of one-to-two-persons with all ADLs and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Record review of Resident #10's care plan, dated 3/31/24, reflected, . The resident has an ADL self-care deficit .Interventions .Personal hygiene and Toilet use- Resident is totally dependent An observation on 08/20/24 at 09:29 a.m. revealed CNA BB entered Resident #10's room preparing to provide incontinence care. CNA BB washed her hands and put on double gloves, she picked up Kleenex from the floor and discarded it in the trash, did not change gloves, using the same gloved hands, picked up the clean wipes from the container on the bedside table and unfastened Resident #10's brief soiled with urine and had large bowel movement, CNA BB assisted the resident to roll on her left side. CNA BB took a peri-wipe and wiped in-between residents' rectal area and did not wipe around the buttocks. With the same gloves, CNA BB applied barrier cream to a chafed area on the resident buttocks and then removed the soiled brief and placed a clean brief under the resident and assisted her to roll back onto her back and fastened the brief. CNA BB removed her gloves and washed her hands. Review of CNA BB's skill checks dated 07/29/24 reflected she was competent in performing peri-care and hand hygiene. In an interview with CNA BB on 08/20/24 at 10:15 a.m. she stated she was supposed to wash her hands before and after performing incontinent care and change her gloves when she finished. She stated she knew the importance of properly cleaning a resident and by not doing so, placed them a risk of infections. In an interview with DON on 08/21/24 at 02:00 p.m., the DON said CNA BB should wash or sanitize her hands when soiled and she should not use double gloves. The DON said CNA BB would be retrained before working with incontinent residents.
