Residents Affected - Few LVN C failed to change gloves and perform hand hygiene while providing wound care to Resident #4. These failures could place residents at risk of infection, slow wound healing, and or a decline in health. Findings included: Review of Resident #4's entry MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #4 was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis which included non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system). Resident #4 had a BIMS score of 13 which indicated Resident #4's cognition was intact. The MDS also revealed Resident #4 required surgical wound care. Review of Resident #4's wound care orders, dated 05/30/24, reflected as of 11/14/23: Clean left clavicle surgical wound with NS or wound cleanser. Dry, cover wound with silver alginate and cover with bordered gauze and change daily and as needed for wound care AND one time a day for wound care.

She put all the supplies together and went to the bed side. LVN C put on gloves without performing hand hygiene and removed the old dressing. The wound was observed to be draining. She discarded the old dressing and removed her gloves. Without performing hand hygiene, she put on a new pair of gloves, cleansed the wound with gauze soaked with wound cleanser, pat dried the wound, and touched the wound while wearing the same gloves. LVN C then took silver alginate, applied it on the wound, and covered the wound with a dry dressing without performing hand hygiene or changing her gloves. Interview on 05/31/24 at 9:50 AM with LVN C revealed she did not perform hand hygiene before putting on gloves, after removing the old dressing, and after cleansing the wound. LVN C stated she was not directed to perform hand hygiene between the procedure but before and after the procedure. LVN C stated she knew it was best standard of practice to wash hands after removing her gloves, but she forgot. She stated she was supposed to perform hand hygiene after she removed the old dressing and before and after she cleaned the wound with normal saline. LVN C stated changing gloves and performing hand hygiene during wound care would prevent contamination of the wound which could cause infection. Interview on 05/31/2024 at 11:48 AM with the DON revealed her expectation was for the nurses to perform hand hygiene after removal of an old dressing and with contamination. The DON stated the nurse was supposed to wash her hands after removing the old dressing and her gloves, and then again after cleansing the wound the nurse was supposed to change her gloves and perform hand hygiene. The DON stated the risk of not changing gloves and performing hand hygiene during the wound care was that it would lead to cross contamination of the wound and then infection. She stated she had done training on wound care and also LVN C was assessed on skills and no documentation was presented.
