the potential to impact all residents in the facility by placing them at risk for cross contamination and

page titled, Clinical Safety: Hand Hygiene for Healthcare Workers, updated 2/27/24, accessed on 9/16/25, documented hand hygiene should be performed:-Immediately before touching a patient.-Before performing an aseptic task such as placing an indwelling device or handling invasive medical devices.-Before moving from work on a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same patient.-After touching a patient or patient's surroundings.-After contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated surfaces.-Immediately after glove removal.The following was observed for hand hygiene and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):On 9/12/25 at 9:20 AM, observed RN # 3 enter Resident #63's room to administer an injection. RN #3 placed the injection on the bedside table then sanitized his hands and donned gloves. Resident #63 asked to be repositioned in bed prior to the injection and RN #3 then pressed the call light button, then the bed positioning control to adjust bed height. CNA #2 then entered the room, sanitized her hands then reached into her pocket and retrieved a pair of gloves before donning them. RN #3 and CNA #2 then assisted Resident #63 to his requested position. RN #3 then retrieved the injection from the bedside table, cleansed the injection site in Resident #63's abdomen then administered the medication.

After removing the needle from Resident #63's abdomen, RN #3 then placed a gloved finger over the injection site and held it there for several seconds. RN #3 then removed his gloves, sanitized his hands and left the room. CNA #2 was observed emptying Resident #63's bedside urinal in the resident's bathroom and placed it back by his bed.

She did not rinse the urinal out and a small amount of urine was noted to be in the bottom of the urinal, and an odor of urine was present.On 9/12/25 at 9:40 AM, RN #3 stated, I should have changed gloves after providing patient care and before giving the injection.

When asked about pressing his finger against the injection site, RN #3 stated since COVID there hasn't been a lot of quality control training. On 09/12/25 at 11:15 AM, the DON stated, nurses should always perform hand hygiene and change gloves when alternating between patient care to giving an injection.

The DON also stated, when giving an injection the nurse should always place a barrier on the table prior to setting items down, perform hand hygiene, don gloves, clean site, administer the injection, and if bleeding occurs, use gauze or a Band-Aid to stop leakage.

When asked about rinsing urinals after emptying them, the DON stated, our facility doesn't have a way to rinse urinals in any resident bathrooms, so we don't do it.
