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
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 four (Resident #195, Resident
#77, Resident # 190, and Resident # 191) of seven residents observed for infection control in that:
Residents Affected - Some
1. CNA E failed to perform hand hygiene during incontinent care for Resident #77.
2. CNA D failed to perform hand hygiene during incontinent care for Resident #191 and failed to perform
hand hygiene before leaving Resident #191's room after providing care.
3. RN B failed to remove her gloves and perform hand hygiene before exiting Resident # 190's room after
she had performed a FSBS on the resident and failed to sanitize the Glucometer after obtaining a FSBS
with an approved disinfectant.
4. LVN D failed to prevent cross contamination of a bottle of testing strips used to obtain a fingerstick blood
sugar on Resident's #195 and failed to allow the sanitized glucometer air dry to allow for adequate
disinfectant before returning to the medication cart.
Theses failure could place residents at risk for cross contamination and the development and transmission
of communicable diseases and infections.
Findings included:
1. Review of Resident #77's Face Sheet dated 01/25/23 reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an
admission date of 12/21/22. Primary diagnoses included lack of coordination, diabetes, morbid obesity, and
major depressive disorder.

performance deficit r/t limited mobility, pain .Interventions .Toilet use .totally dependent on staff for toilet use
. [Resident #77] .bladder incontinence r/t history of UTI, impaired mobility .Intervention .Check (q 2hrs) and
as required for incontinence. Wash, rinse, and dry perineum
Observation on 01/24/23 at 10:15 a.m. revealed CNA E entered Resident #77's room to provide
incontinence care. CNA E washed her hands and put on gloves. CNA E unfastened Resident #77's wet
brief to reveal the resident had been incontinent of urine and bowel. CNA E pushed the soiled brief down
between the resident's legs toward her buttocks and cleaned her peri area from front and had rolled the
resident onto her side and wiped from front to back until all bowel movement had been removed. CNA E
then removed the soiled brief and without changing gloves and performing hand hygiene then placed the
clean brief under the resident and had her roll back onto her back. CNA pulled the clean brief between the
resident legs and fastened the brief and then adjusted the cover. CNA E then removed her gloves and
washed her hands.
Interview on 01/25/23 at 10:30 a.m. CNA E stated she was supposed to change gloves when going from
dirty to clean. She stated she had done this for several years and knew the proper procedure, but just got
nervous. She stated failing to change her gloves and perform hand hygiene placed the resident at risk of
infections.

hygiene. RN B then put on gloves and pulled out a small alcohol wipe packet and wiped down the
glucometer with one small alcohol wipe, removed her gloves and performed hand hygiene.
Interview on 01/24/23 at 11:20 a.m. RN B stated she knew she was not supposed to wear soiled gloves out
of the room, but stated she was not sure how she was supposed to disposed of the dirty lancet since there
was not sharps container in the resident's room, and she had to return to the medication cart to dispose of
the lancet and strip. She stated she had not thought of placing the cart at the resident's doorway. RN B
stated she was not aware they had to use a specific germicidal wipe for cleaning the glucometers. She
stated she did not know if alcohol wipes were an approved disinfectant or not for cleaning the glucometers.
She stated she had started at the facility about 2 weeks ago.
Review of RN B's Orientation Check Off Sheet dated 01/10/23 reflected she had received basic orientation
on Infection control and exposure, which included blood borne pathogens. She had not been skills checked

Review of the FDA guidance, titled Letter to Manufacturers of Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems Listed
With the FDA, accessed on 01/27/23, at
https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/in-vitro-diagnostics/letter-manufacturers-blood-glucose-monitoring-systems-listed-fda,
reflected in part:
The disinfection solvent you choose should be effective against HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hepatitis B virus.
Outbreak episodes have been largely due to transmission of Hepatitis B and C viruses. However, of the
two, Hepatitis B virus is the most difficult to kill. Please note that 70% ethanol solutions are not effective
against viral bloodborne pathogens and the use of 10% bleach solutions may lead to physical degradation
of your device.
Observation on 01/25/23 at 08:15 a.m. revealed LVN C at the medication cart preparing to perform
Resident #195's fingers stick blood sugar (FSBS) and morning medication pass. LVN C removed the
glucometer from the medication cart, a lancet, an alcohol wipe, gauze pad and a bottle of testing strips and
placed them in a plastic cup. LVN C performed hand hygiene, donned gloves, and entered Resident #195's
room to perform the FSBS. LVN C opened the bottle of testing strips, pulled one strip out of the bottle, and
placed the strip into the glucometer. LVN C wiped the resident's finger with an alcohol wipe and dried it with
the gauze pad and placed the used gauze and alcohol pad in the plastic cup. LVN C then pricked Resident
#195's finger and obtained a blood sample for FSBS. LVN C then placed the contaminated glucometer and
bottle of testing strips in the plastic cup and went to the doorway of the resident's room and deposited the
testing strip and lancet into the sharp's container located on the medication cart, sat the cup containing the
glucometer and testing strips on top and the cart and removed her gloves and performed hand hygiene.
LVN C then donned gloves and pulled a germicidal wipe out of a container and sanitized the glucometer
and placed the glucometer on a paper towel to dry. LVN C then removed the bottle of testing strips from the
cup which had contained the contaminated glucometer and placed it back into the top drawer of the
medication cart without sanitizing the bottle. LVN C then removed her gloves and performed hand hygiene.
Interview on 01/25/23 at 10:15 a.m. LVN C stated she should not have carried the bottle of test strips into
the room and that by doing so she had contaminated the bottle of strips. She stated she knew this failure
could have the potential for cross contamination and would remove the bottle of test strips from the cart.
