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 disease and infection for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #1)
reviewed for infection control, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
While providing incontinent care for Resident #1 CNA B did not wash or sanitize her hands between
change of gloves before touching the resident's clean brief and after cleaning the resident's buttocks' area.
The soiled brief and draw sheet came in contact with the inside of the new brief.
These deficient practices could place residents at-risk for infection due to improper care practices.
The findings included:
Record review Resident #1's face sheet, dated 08/31/2023, revealed an admission date 12/17/2018 and, a
readmission date of 06/09/2023 with diagnosis including: Dementia(decline in cognitive abilities), Chronic
kidney disease(gradual loss of kidney function), Hypertension(High blood pressure), anemia(blood disorder

indicating severe cognitive impairment. Resident #1 required extensive assistance, was always incontinent
of bladder and bowel.
Observation on 08/31/23 at 11:30 a.m. while providing perineal care for Resident #1, CNA B, after cleaning
the resident buttocks, changed her gloves but did not sanitize her hands. The resident had a loose bowel
movement and the CNA had feces on her gloves.
While changing the soiled briefs and draw sheet, NA A and CNA B rolled the soiled items against the
resident then placed the new briefs an draw sheet under the soiled sheet and brief. When they rolled the
resident the dirty draw sheet, which was stained with feces, came in contact with the inside of the new brief.
During an interview with CNA B on 08/31/2023 at 11:47 a.m , she confirmed she should have sanitized or
washed her hands between changing gloves and understood it could cause a risk of cross contamination.
She forgot to use sanitizer. She confirmed she received training for infection control and hand hygiene. She
did realize she was contaminating the new brief and thought she was using the proper way to change the
linen and brief.
