F 0880 During an interview, on 07/26/2024 at 6:10 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON)stated, The over bed tables should have been cleaned with a disinfectant wipe prior to placing the barrier down. The nurses should Level of Harm - Minimal harm or change gloves after a wound is cleaned and before applying the clean dressings. The dressings should be potential for actual harm timed and dated when the clean dressing is applied. Scissors should be cleaned with a disinfectant wipe and not soap and water before and after each dressing change. The nurse's dirty gloves should not touch the Residents Affected - Few privacy curtain because you have contaminated the curtain when you do that. If the nurse is dressing two wounds, they should be treated as two different wounds. Each being dressed before the nurse moves on to
the next wound. The wound cleanser should be sprayed on a 4 x 4 and not directly into the wound. When the nurse cleans a wound, they should start in the center cleaning in a circular motion and working their way out to the edges of the wound. The nurse can discard the 4 x 4 each time the wound is cleaned, or they can use
a different area of the 4 x 4 to clean the wound. The wound cleanser bottle should not be placed on the clean barrier. Any type of ointment should be placed in a medicine cup and the tube or container should not be taken in the resident's room. This should be applied with a clean Q-Tip.
