Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
-
Residents Affected - Few
Change needleless connector to each lumen one time a day every Sun for PICC patency at 8:00 AM
Dressing change to PICC site one time a day every Sun at 8:00 AM
Measure the circumference of the PICC line mid-upper arm QD and PRN every day shift at 6:00 AM
Monitor PICC line site for redness, tenderness, edema, excessive bleeding at site, chest/neck/ear pain,
numbness or tingling of affected arm/hand. Notify MD of abnormal findings every shift at 6:00 PM
During an observation and interview on 05/13/24 at 10:57 AM, Resident #1 appeared clean, groomed, and
dressed in a hospital gown. Resident #1 was observed in a semi-sitting position in bed. Resident #1 had a
double lumen PICC line (two separate [purple; red] lumens [tubing] with ports) to the right upper arm
covered by a transparent dressing dated 05/12/24 for IV antibiotics/fluids administration. The purple lumen
did not have a needleless connector attached and the red lumen did not have a disinfectant cap placed
over the end of the needleless connector to help prevent contamination. Resident #1 was Alert, attentive,
and oriented to level of awareness of self, place, time, and situation. Resident #1 denied concerns about
PICC line site or timeliness of care provided.
During an observation and interview on 05/13/24 at 11:15 AM, LVN C said that each lumen had a
needleless connector and disinfectant caps when she assessed Resident #1's PICC line site to the right
upper arm. LVN C could not explain why the purple lumen was missing a needleless connector and the red
lumen did not have a disinfectant cap. A sterile dressing change was observed to Resident #1's PICC line
site at the right upper arm. There were no signs of redness, swelling, bleeding, or any other drainage
around the catheter site was noted. One special disinfectant wipe was used to clean each lumen before
placing a needleless connector to each lumen. Each port was flushed with 10 cc - 15 cc normal saline
before a disinfectant cap was placed at the end of the connector. LVN C was observed appropriately
connecting the scheduled IV antibiotic for administration.
During an interview on 05/13/24 at 1:35 PM, the ADON indicated that she performed the task of changing
Resident #1's PICC line dressing, applied new connectors to each lumen, and covered with disinfectant
caps after each lumen was flushed on Sunday, 05/12/24. The ADON said that sterile dressings to PICC
sites including the needleless connectors to the lumens should be changed every 7 days and PRN as
reflected on the TAR. The ADON said that disinfectant caps should be placed over the end of the connector
when the PICC line was not in use.
During an interview on 05/13/24 at 1:42 PM, the DON indicated nurses were expected to change
PICC/IV/CVC dressing changes every Sunday as scheduled/PRN and document. The DON stated the
