actual infection related to COVID-19 and was in isolation until 08/20/25. Interventions included providing isolation per protocol through the infectious period. Review of the progress notes revealed a noted dated 08/11/25 at 3:10 P.M. indicating Resident #35 tested positive for COVID-19 and droplet precautions were to be maintained. Observation on 08/18/25 at 8:25 A.M. revealed Medication Aide #380 entered the room of Resident #35 with an N-95 mask over a surgical mask, no gown, no gloves, and no face shield or goggles.
Medication Aide #380 was observed assisting Resident #35 with drinking sips of orange juice and with eating breakfast. After approximately three minutes into observation, Medication Aide #35 closed the door to the room to assist Resident #35 with additional needs. Interview on 08/18/25 at 8:35 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #371 confirmed Resident #35 was in droplet isolation until 08/20/25 for testing positive for COVID-19. During the interview, RN #371 stated staff were to don gloves, a face shield, and an N-95 mask prior to entering the room of Resident #35 to provide care and any direct personal care would also require a gown. At the time of the interview, RN #371 verbalized that a gown was typically not needed for residents in droplet isolation unless close direct contact was required. Observation on 08/18/25 at 8:46 A.M. revealed Medication Aide #380 exited the room of Resident #35 wearing the N-95 on top of a surgical mask, with the N-95 positioned under her nose (the surgical mask was over the nose) and then clearing a meal tray from the dining room and another resident's room. Interview with Medication Aide #380 at 8:50 A.M. confirmed masks were to be removed and discarded upon exiting rooms with droplet isolation and replaced as necessary. Medication Aide #380 further confirmed no gown, gloves, or face shield were used to assist Resident #35 with breakfast, adding that a face shield was initially put on, but taken off because it was too hot. During the interview, Medication Aide #380 denied the need to gown to enter the room of a COVID-19 positive resident, confirming there was a sign outside the door only indicating a mask and face covering was needed. A nursing progress note dated 08/18/25 at 10:47 A.M. revealed Resident #35 had a temperature of 102.4 degrees Fahrenheit (F), a pulse of 102 beats per minute, poor oral intake of foods, drinks, and medications, and an altered mental status. The note further revealed Resident #35 was to be transferred to the hospital. Interview on 08/18/25 at 1:40 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed there was no facility policy on donning and doffing PPE, but the facility followed CDC guidelines. Interview on 08/18/25 at 2:48 P.M. with Regional Quality Assurance (QA) Nurse #320 confirmed the appropriate PPE required for staff to assist a COVID-19 positive resident with meals included a gown, gloves, mask, and eye protection and that the N95 mask should be removed when leaving the resident's room. Review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on-line guidance for use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for care of persons with COVID-19 positive infection dated 06/24/24 revealed health care workers should use a NIOSH Approved particulate respirator with N95 filters or higher, gown, gloves, and eye protection, such as goggles or a face shield, that covered the front and sides of the face. This deficiency was an incidental finding identified during the complaint investigation.
