Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
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 (CR #1) of four residents reviewed
for infection control.The facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions when LVN A entered CR
#1's room and administered IV medications without donning appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE). The facility failed to implement infection control prevention when LVN A did not wash or sanitize his
hands after entering CR#1's room.The facility failed to implement infection control prevention when LVN A
did not sanitize the resident's overbed table.The failure placed CR #1 at risk for infection at the IV site as
well as for sepsis, and placed other residents at risk for infection by cross-contamination. Findings
include:Record review of CR #1's admission Record (copied 12/04/2025) revealed he was [AGE] years old
and was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, osteomyelitis
(infection of the bone) of his left foot and ankle, Type 2 diabetes, and muscle weakness. CR #1 was
discharged to an acute care hospital on [DATE]. Record review of CR #1's Physician Order dated
10/29/2025 revealed he was to receive Cefepime HCl (antibiotic) intravenous solution, 1 gm/50 ml, three
times daily until 12/03/2025. Record review of CR #1's November 2025 MAR revealed the IV antibiotic was
scheduled, and was administered on 11/05/2025, within one hour before or after 1:00 a.m. The initials were
those of LVN A. Record review of the MDS dated [DATE] revealed CR #1 scored 13/15 on the BIMS,
indicative of intact cognition. He did not exhibit any behavioral symptoms or resist care during the look-back
period (minimum 6 days). CR #1 had limited range-of-motion to both upper and both lower extremities.
Record review of CR #1's Care Plan dated 11/23/2025 revealed the resident was on EBP related to wounds
and for having a feeding tube. The Care Plan dated 10/25/2025 reflected CR #1 had an infection.
Interventions read, in part, .Maintain universal precautions when providing resdient (sic) care. The Care
Plan dated 10/25/2025 reflected CR #1 required isolation due to MRSA in his wound. The Care Plan read,
in part, .Hand washing to prevent the spread of infection.Provide protective equipment at entrance to room.
Review of a video dated 11/05/2025 at 00:42 a.m. revealed CR #1 lying in his bed. A male staff, later
identified as LVN A, entered the room. LVN A was wearing a mask. He was not wearing a gown or gloves
when he entered the room, and he did not sanitize or wash his hands after entry. He was carrying the bag
of intravenous medication. LVN A hung the bag on the IV pole and dropped the tubing onto a chair. LVN A
did not sanitize the overbed table before he removed the cap from a syringe of flush, which he then set on
the overbed table. Although LVN A was blocking the view of the camera, it appeared that he cleaned the
connector, flushed, then connected the medication tubing to the IV connector hub. LVN A then started the
flow. He collected the syringe and other discarded items from the overbed table. He moved the overbed
table to bedside. He did not sanitize the overbed table. LVN A then exited the room without washing his
hands. In an interview

on 11/22/2025 at 1:05 p.m., LVN C said when preparing to administer IV medications, the nurse was to
check the order, collect the supplies, then confirm the order in the system. The nurse washes hands, don
(put on) gloves, then mix the IV medication and prime the tubing. She said the nurse would then check the
IV site for any signs of infection. The nurse would then flush the port and administer the medication.In an
interview on 11/22/2025 at 4:23 p.m., RN B, the Weekend Supervisor, said if staff did not wear gloves when
administering IV medication, it would be an infection control issue. Bacteria could be introduced into the IV
tubing. Bacteria in the tubing could cause sepsis and infection in the vein, as well as cellulitis (bacterial
infection of the skin's deeper layers). In an interview on 12/04/2025 at 3:44 p.m., LVN C, the facility Infection
Preventionist, said residents receiving IV antibiotics would be on EBP. The staff should wash their hands
and don a gown and gloves. The overbed table should be sanitized before and after the procedure.
Potential problems that could arise could be contamination. She said she could not recall any in-services
for IVs, but has conducted in-services regarding isolation. In an interview on 12/04/2025 at 4:33 p.m., the
DON said a resident receiving IV antibiotics would be on EBP. She said the staff should wash their hands,
then put on a gown and gloves prior to entering the room. The overbed table should be sanitized prior to
placing items on it. A complication of not following the guidelines could result in infection. The facility policy
Nursing Policy and Procedure Intravenous Therapy - Section 6 (updated 05/2024) read, in part, The
delivery of IV therapy provides no margin for error, and one mistake may cause irreparable damage to the
Patient. The Policy did not address infection control guidelines. The facility policy Enhanced Barrier
Precautions (August 2022) read, in part, .1. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBPs) are used as an infection
prevention and control intervention to reduce the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to
residents. 2. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities when
contact precautions do not otherwise apply. a. Gloves and gown are applied prior to performing the high
contact resident care activity (as opposed to before entering the room) 3. Examples of high-contact resident
care activities requiring the use of gown and gloves for EBPs include .g. Device care or use (central line .).
