signage near Resident #1's room.2. CNA A and CNA B failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions
while providing incontinent care to Resident #1. 3. CNA A failed to perform hand hygiene while providing

diagnoses which included sepsis (a life-threatening complication of an infection which occur when
chemicals released in the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger inflammation throughout the body),
functional quadriplegia (complete immobility due to severe disability or frailty from another medical
condition without injury to the brain or spinal cord), and urinary tract infection (an illness in any part of the
urinary tract, the system of organs that makes urine).Record review of Resident #1's MDS Assessment,
