This failure placed residents at risk of acquiring communicable diseases and diminished quality of life

Findings included .

TRANSMISSION BASED PRECAUTIONS

Review of the facility policy titled, Transmission-Based Precautions (Isolation) revised March 2024, showed TBP were used whenever measures more stringent than standard precautions were needed to prevent or control the spread of infection. There were three types of TBP (airborne, contact, and droplet). Contact precautions were implemented for residents known or suspected to be infected with microorganisms that could be transmitted by direct contact with the resident or indirect contact with environmental surfaces or resident-care items in the resident's environment. The policy listed infections, including Shingles (viral infection that caused a painful blistery rash), that would require contact precautions be implemented. The policy instructed persons entering a contact precaution room to wear gloves and a disposable gown upon entering the room, adequately clean and disinfect commonly used items between residents if unable to use or dedicate equipment to a resident on contact precautions.

According to the Center for Disease Control website CDC.gov - with regard to TBP showed, Use contact precautions for patient with known or suspected infections that represent an increased risk for contact transmission. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately, including gloves and gown. Wear a gown and gloves for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient or the patient's environment. Donning [applying] PPE upon room entry and properly discarding before exiting the patient room is done to contain pathogens.
