an error in the software. She stated she submitted the information on 10/14/2024 but received an error message on 10/15/2024 which indicated the data was not submitted. She stated there was a lot of confusion with the third quarter because the data for July 2024 was submitted by the previous owners, but the new owners would submit the August and September 2024 data. She stated she had not contacted CMS because the error was realized after the deadline of 10/15/2024.

In an interview with the Administrator, on 02/13/2025 at 4:00 PM, she stated she was new in her position and was still learning her role during the change in ownership.

Additionally, the LPN failed to ensure a barrier was in place before placing supplies on the table. In an interview with the Wound Doctor,

she stated this practice could contaminate the wound and cause an infection.

The findings include:

Review of the facility's policy titled, Wound Treatment and Management, with a date implemented of 02/01/2024 and a date revised of 02/14/2024, revealed the purpose of the policy was to promote wound healing of various types of wounds by providing evidence-based treatments in accordance with current standards of practice and physicians orders.

Review of the facility's policy titled, Hand Hygiene, revised on 02/16/2024, revealed that all staff would perform proper hand hygiene procedures to prevent the spread of infection to other personnel, residents, and visitors. The policy outlined the technique for hand hygiene with alcohol based hand rub (ABHR), soap and water, and listed under what conditions each should be performed. Further review of the policy revealed the use of gloves did not replace hand hygiene. If the task required gloves, hand hygiene should be performed prior to donning gloves and immediately after removing gloves.

Review of the facility's policy titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, revised on 02/01/2024, revealed that it was the practice of the facility to implement Enhance Barrier Precautions (EBP) for the prevention and transmission of multidrug resistant organisms. Further review of the policy stated that clear signage should be posted on the resident's door stating the type of personal protective equipment (PPE) needed for high contact resident care activities. PPE, such as gown and gloves, would be made immediately available outside the room's door and ABHR should be both inside and immediately outside the resident's door. The policy outlined who would be placed on EBP and defined what activities were considered high contact resident care activities.

1. Review of Resident R20's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) revealed the facility admitted the resident on 11/15/2022 with the medical diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), schizoaffective disorder, chronic pain syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

F 0880 Review of Resident R20's Comprehensive Care Plan (CCP), undated, revealed the resident was care planned for the focus of altered skin integrity related to an abscess of left leg (resolved) and a wound on the left hip. The Level of Harm - Minimal harm or goal for this focus was Resident R20's altered skin integrity would show signs of healing. Resident R20 was also care planned potential for actual harm for the focus of enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) due to altered skin integrity. The goal of this focus was resident would have a reduced likelihood of transmission of resistant organisms through target date. The Residents Affected - Some interventions for this focus were to educate resident and/or family on the need for enhanced barrier precautions; enhanced barrier precautions implemented during high touch care activities; and staff must wear a gown and gloves when providing high touch care.

Review of Resident R20's Physician Orders in her EMR revealed she had an order for the abscess of the left hip/leg to cleanse with normal saline, pat dry, and apply calcium alginate with silver. The wound was to be covered with border gauze. Wound care was to be done daily. She also has an order for Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) related to her wound.

Observation of wound care for Resident R20 on 02/07/2025 at 2:44 PM provided by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 6 revealed that she hand sanitized and put on PPE prior to entering Resident R20's room. Once in the resident's room,

the LPN raised the resident's bed and moved other items in the room on the bedside table without washing her hands or changing her gloves. The table and sink that LPN6 placed her items on were not cleaned and a barrier was not placed. LPN6 then removed the dressing from the resident's wound and did not wash her hands or change her gloves prior to opening the sterile items needed for the wound care. After opening the bandages, she washed her hands and changed gloves, then reached into her pocket to remove her bottle of normal saline used to do the wound cleansing. She did not wash her hands or change her gloves. The wound was smaller than a dime in size and had yellow drainage. She cleaned the wound and only changed her gloves, however, did not wash her hands. Her gown touched against the open dressings on the table multiple times during wound care. She placed the calcium alginate on the wound and then put on the border gauze. She touched the resident's bed controls and bedside table prior to taking off her gloves and washing her hands. She then threw away the Normal Saline(NS) and all the other items left from the wound care.

On 02/03/2025 at 2:43 PM in an interview with Resident R20, she stated that she had a boil on her left hip, adding she has had one in the past, which had healed.

In an interview with LPN4 on 02/06/2025 at 3:33 PM she said Resident R20 had a boil on her left hip and was getting wound care for it. She stated she had only seen it once, so she was unable to state if it was healing or not. Per the interview, she stated the wound had drainage but no offensive odor. LPN4 stated Resident R20's treatments were provided on day shift. She stated the resident's wound was cleaned with calcium alginate with border dressing.

F 0880 Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 12/27/2024 revealed the facility did not conduct a BIMS score for the resident. The facility assessed Resident R67 as having a Level of Harm - Minimal harm or pressure ulcer and at risk for developing pressure ulcers/injuries. Additionally, the record indicated Resident R67 had potential for actual harm one stage 2 and one stage 4 pressure ulcer. Further review revealed the facility assessed Resident R67 as having 2 unstageable deep tissue injuries. Treatment for the PUs: pressure reducing device for bed, nutrition and Residents Affected - Some hydration interventions, PU injury care, and applications of ointments/medications (other than to feet).

Review of Resident R67's current Comprehensive Care Plan (CCP) from 01/15/2025 revealed the facility care planned her for the focus of potential skin impairment related to incontinence, diabetes mellitus, current skin impairment, and limited mobility. The interventions for this focus were incontinence care every shift and as needed for incontinence episodes. Further review revealed the facility would ensure the resident received her treatments as ordered; complete observation of the resident's skin during care and report any concerns to the nurse.

Review of a Wound Care Note from 02/06/2025 revealed a stage IV pressure ulcer on her sacrum that was 0. 8-centimeter (cm) x 0.3 cm x 0.1 cm. The pressure ulcer on the sacrum was assessed as having a surface area of 0.24 cm squared, with moderate serous exudate. It had 90% granulating tissue and 10% slough. The pressure ulcer was noted to have improved as evidenced by the decreased surface area. The current treatment plan for the pressure ulcer was to cleanse with normal saline, pat dry and apply alginate rope and Leptospermum honey. Further review of the note revealed staff were to use a gauze island with border to cover the pressure ulcer. Further review of the note revealed that the pressure ulcer was not likely to heal and the wound physician had recommended an assessment for ultrasound mist therapy.

Observation of wound care performed on 02/07/2025 at 2:05 PM by licensed practical nurse LPN6 for Resident R67 revealed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 9 and CNA11 were in the room to help roll Resident R67. Both CNAs performed hand hygiene and put on gown and gloves. Continued observations revealed LPN6 performed hand hygiene and donned (put on) a gown and gloves prior to entering Resident R67's room. She did not wipe off the bedside table nor place a barrier on the bedside table prior to placing the supplies for the wound treatment onto the table. An unopened dressing fell to the floor and LPN6 retrieved the package placed it back onto the table. LPN6 indicated she forgot to bring the normal saline for cleansing Resident R67's wound. She removed her personal protective equipment (PPE) and left the room. When she returned, she had donned a new gown and had gloves in her hands and proceeded to put the gloves on inside the room and then lowered the head of Resident R67's bed and uncovered Resident R67. There was no dressing over the sacral wound as LPN6 explained it was removed just prior during incontinence care. LPN6 did not change her gloves or wash her hands after lowering the head of Resident R67's bed and removing the resident's bed covers and brief. She proceeded to open

the sterile wound care supplies with the same contaminated gloves. Continued observations revealed LPN6 wiped the wound with gauze moistened with NS and patted it dry. She did not change gloves or wash her hands after cleaning the wound; and then she used her gloved fingers to wipe the Leptospermum honey onto

the wound. She then took off her gloves, washed her hands, and placed new gloves on. After donning new gloves, LPN6 pressed the silence button on the tube feed pump, and did not perform hand hygiene or change her gloves. She packed the calcium alginate rope into the wound and placed a border gauze undated and unlabeled over the wound. LPN6 labeled and dated the dressing after it was adhered to Resident R67.

F 0880 In an interview on 02/07/2025 at 2:40 PM with LPN6 regarding the wound care treatment she provided to both Resident R20 and Resident R67, she stated she forgot to do some things during the wound treatment such as performing Level of Harm - Minimal harm or hand hygiene when she returned to the room after leaving to go and get the normal saline for the wound potential for actual harm cleansing. LPN6 did not comment regarding her not washing her hands or changing gloves when she moved from a dirty task to a clean task (such as after cleaning the wound and then immediately putting the Residents Affected - Some Leptospermum honey and calcium alginate onto the wound without washing her hands and changing her gloves). LPN6 stated she should remove her gloves, perform hand hygiene, and then put on new gloves when moving from dirty to clean in a wound care, such as after removing an old dressing. Further, LPN6 stated hand hygiene and a glove change should be done after cleansing the wound. Additionally, LPN6 stated she typically placed a barrier before placing supplies on a table and that she should have performed hand hygiene and donned fresh gloves after touching resident equipment and before opening clean wound care supplies.

In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 02/12/2025 at 9:38 AM, she stated her expectation for wound care was for staff to have a clean field on which to do wound care. She stated there should be a barrier placed and staff should clean the table prior to placing the barrier. Further, she stated staff should clean their hands and put on new gloves after touching items in the room such as the bed controls, tube feed pump, or the resident. She stated staff should change gloves after cleaning the wound and wash their hands and/or use hand sanitizer each time their gloves were changed. The DON stated that she expected staff to wash their hands and sanitize after any dirty task and change gloves.

In an interview with the Wound Care Nurse/Staff Development Coordinator (WCN/SDC) on 02/12/2025 at 1:17 PM, she stated it was her expectation of staff performing would care to clean the surface they were placing their barrier on with bleach wipes and allow it to dry the specified time before putting down a barrier like a chux. Then wound care supplies should be put on the clean chux. She stated staff should hand sanitize and/or hand wash before putting on PPE (gloves and gown) to enter the room for the wound treatment. Further, she stated staff should also change gloves and wash their hands when touching anything that was not clean or sterile. The SDC stated her expectation was that the Leptospermum honey would be applied to the wound with an applicator to prevent contaminating the wound and the Leptospermum honey bottle. She stated if proper hand hygiene and changing of gloves did not occur this could cause contamination of the wound and possible infection.

In an interview on 02/13/2025 at 9:17 AM with the Wound Doctor, she stated she had been seeing Resident R67 weekly for her pressure ulcer since she inherited the facility from the previous wound doctor. She stated her expectations for wound care was that nurses go into the resident's room with PPE on. She stated staff should perform hand hygiene and wear gloves for all wound care. Further, she stated gloves should be changed in between each wound. The Wound Doctor stated that if staffs' hands were soiled staff should wash their hands, otherwise, they could use hand sanitizer for hand hygiene. She stated she expected staff to change their PPE between residents. The Wound Doctor stated she expected staff to use hand sanitizer and put on new gloves after they clean the wound. Per the interview, she stated if staff touched anything in

the room that was not clean or sterile, staff should complete hand hygiene and change gloves. Further, she stated barriers should be down when completing wound care, to put the supplies on. She stated if staff did not perform hand hygiene and change gloves appropriately, staff could contaminate the wound and cause an infection.
