had indeed announced his care from the hallway, but that would be a dignity concern. She said it could
cause the residents embarrassment. She said she could not speak on the incident because she needed to
speak with the nurse about it.

During an interview with the Wound care nurse on at 02/07/2025 at 11:57 am, after wound treatment for
Resident # 1, she denied that she followed the facility protocol. She agreed she did not change her gloves.
She stated she used the same gloves used in drying and touching the wound bed to apply treatment and
dressing because that was how she was taught. She stated the facility's pre-mock survey nurse told her she
did not have to change her gloves if it was the same wound. She said the consequences of not changing
gloves during wound care could re-infect the wound causing prolonged healing time. She also agreed that
she made an error not allowing her sanitized hands to dry prior to donning gloves.

would do hand hygiene, change gloves after cleansing the wound bed, prior to applying treatment and
dressing. She said the facility was following a policy which came from a nursing book. She said the Wound
Care Nurse should be following the company's policy.
Record review of facility's wound care checklist dated 7/1/2013 provided by the Nurse consultant revealed
the following performance criteria: Explain procedure to resident, provide privacy, wash hands, put on
disposable gloves and PPE as necessary. Position resident comfortably, drapes to expose only wound site.
