Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
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 1 (CNA B) of 6 staff
observed for resident care.
Residents Affected - Few
-CNA B did not wash her hands between glove changes while performing incontinent care.
This deficient practice has the potential to affect residents in the facility receiving incontinent care by
exposing them to care that could lead to the spread of infections, tissue breakdown, and feelings of
isolation related to poor hygiene.
Findings include:
During an observation on 08-10-2023 at 10:47 AM when performing incontinent care CNA B cleaned the
residents vaginal and peri area, changed her gloves, assisted to roll the resident to her side, cleaned the
resident's rectal area, changed her gloves, then placed a new brief on the resident. CNA B did not wash her
hands or use ABHR between glove changes.
During an interview on 08-10-2023 at 10:56 AM CNA B reported that she should have washed her hands
each time she changed her gloves and that she should have washed her hands because she touched the
resident each time that she provided care. CNA B reported that by not washing her hands between glove
changes she could place the resident at risk of developing germs or bacteria and that could result in an
infection.
During an interview on 08-10-2023 at 03:48 PM when questioned about expected employee handwashing
the Administrator reported that was the responsibility of the nursing department to ensure that
handwashing was taken care of and that this surveyor would need to ask that department for guidance.
During an interview on 08-11-2023 at 08:48 AM the DON verified that she was responsible for training staff
on proper handwashing. The DON reported that staff are to wash their hands when they are visibly soiled
otherwise, they can use ABHR between glove changes. The DON reported that staff are to use ABHR and
change gloves between each portion of the incontinent care and especially between the dirty portion and
clean portion of the incontinent care such as prior to placing a new brief. The DON reported that if
handwashing is not followed properly during incontinent care, then residents will be placed at risk for
infection and cross-contamination.
Record review of the competency assessment titled Perineal Care completed by CNA B on 4-25-2023
revealed the following:
Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to provide cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent
