Interview on 11/25/25 at 7:35 A.M. with the DON revealed staff are educated on putting full PPE on for any high contact care for residents with EBP. The DON revealed the staff are trained on EBP monthly at staff meetings and when newly hired. The DON also stated if a staff does not know what to put on or to do for EBP they can ask a nurse in the building or look in a blue book at the nursing station that has the type of isolation a resident is in. The DON confirmed the PPE cart is placed inside the room and there is no distinction at the door for which resident in the room are in EBP. The DON stated the cart would be placed inside the room on the side the resident resided. The DON confirmed there is no additional signage at the door for a resident in EBP, staff would need to look in the cart inside of the room to determine what they would need wear for EBP or look in the resident's chart. The DON stated there is no order for EBP, it is only documented in the resident care plan. The DON confirmed there are currently nine (#13, #18, #20, #30, #34, #39, #42, #43 and #56) resident residing in the facility who are in EBP. Review of the facility policy named, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, dated 08/2022 revealed, staff are trained prior to caring for residents on EBP's and signs are posted on the door or wall outside the resident room to alert staff the resident requires EBP. EBP's employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. This deficiency is based on incidental findings discovered during the course of this complaint investigation.
