Observation on 3/27/2026 at 10:40 AM of NA #1 identified the gel-like nails remaining in place with the silver/white glitter rhinestone-like raised items and the silver-colored metal-like design visible on multiple fingernails.
Review of facility Personal Appearance and Dress Policy directed in part, fingernails are to be clean and well-manicured.
For employees involved in direct resident/patient care or where infection control may be an issue, fingernails should not be so long that they compromise the resident's safety.
Review of The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines directed in part, to generally prohibit artificial nails and extenders for all healthcare workers in direct patient care, including nursing home settings, to prevent infection transmission.
The guidelines further identified gel nails, being a form of artificial enhancement, are included in these prohibitions as they can harbor bacteria and are difficult to sanitize, even after alcohol gel use.
Review of Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Hand Hygiene for Healthcare Workers directed in part, do not wear artificial fingernails or extensions when having direct contact with high-risk patients, germs can live under artificial fingernails both before and after using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and hand washing.
