Based on observation of wound care and dressing changes; review of facility nursing competency for wound and dressing care; review of clinical record and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide proper procedures to prevent the transmission or spread of infection as evidenced by one resident out of five resident wound care and dressing changes observed. (Resident F1) Findings include: Review of the facility, RN/LPN Competency: Wound Evaluation, Measurement, Dressing & Documentation form, undated, revealed a list of 35 instructions used to accurately evaluate and measure a wound, perform wound dressing change, and document according to the standard of care. Instruction #3, included for the gathering of appropriate equipment; instruction #11, using a protective covering pad if necessary; instruction #14, discarding soiled dressing into a clean plastic trash bag. If the soiled dressing meets the standards for biohazard waste disposal, place trash bag into biohazard waste receptacle; instructions #24- 25 and #27 and instructions #30-32, removing of gloves and washing hands and following the dressing of a wound the washing of hands prior to documentation in interdisciplinary progress notes. Interview with Director of Nursing, on March 17, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. confirmed that the facility utilizes a nursing competency form entitled, RN/LPN Competency: Wound Evaluation, Measurement, Dressing & Documentation, undated, to evaluate the care of wounds, dressing and documentation according to nursing standards of care. Review of Resident F1's clinical record revealed a physician order, dated January 11, 2017 for cleansing of the left heel wound then dress with Calcium Alginate with silver (an advanced effective barrier to bacteria penetration for moderate to heavy drainage from wounds), Allevyn (multilayered foam wound dressing) and Kling (gauze wrap) every day shift. Observation made of licensed nurse, Employee E3, during wound care and redressing of Resident F1's left heel pressure ulcer, on March 17, 2017, at 10:15 a.m. revealed the following: Resident F1 was observed in recliner chair with both feet hanging off the recliner foot rest. There was no placement of a barrier pad on the carpeted floor. Employee E3 removed soiled dressing from the resident's left heel wound and showed the soiled dressing to surveyor. The soiled dressing was observed with a moderate amount of serous (drainage) and was disposed into the resident's trash can. Soiled gloves were removed and placed in resident's trash can. Employee E3 then applied clean gloves without washing her hands and began to clean resident's heel wound. During the cleansing of the wound, Employee E3 used normal saline wipes to wash the wound but prior to use did not squeeze out the wipe. Consequently, surveyor observed saline dripping, along with a piece of an unknown light tan material, which fell from the resident's left heel wound onto the carpeted floor. Licensed Employee E3 disposed of the soiled saline wipes in residents' room trash can. Prior to covering the resident's left heel wound with Kling, licensed Employee E3 indicated that she was going to wash and lotion both residents' legs and feet, then finish the dressing change with Kling wrap. Licensed Employee E3 applied clean gloves and used wet washcloths and soap from the resident's bathroom to wash both residents' legs and feet and the washcloths were tossed into the resident's trash can. With the same gloves Employee E3 used towels to dry off residents' legs and feet; these towels were thrown onto the carpeted floor, next to the trash can. With the same gloves, Employee E3 applied lotion to residents' legs and feet. Finally, with the same gloves, Employee E3 covered resident's left heel and ankle with Kling and tape. Surveyor inquired of Employee E3 if she could identify the unknown tan material which fell from the resident's left heel wound, and was still observed on the carpeted floor. Employee E3 confirmed that the tan material which was still observed on the carpeted area beneath the resident's feet was a piece of Alginate. Employee E3 further confirmed for surveyor that there was no protective covering placed on the carpeted area directly beneath the resident's feet (which were hanging off the recliner footrest), (for the purpose of collecting anything that could fall onto the carpeted area during wound care and dressing change), I always do it like this and staff will come and clean the floor. After removing gloves and without washing hands, Employee E3 gathered remaining wound supplies and exited resident's room. Surveyor followed Employee E3 to the treatment cart and observed as Employee E3 unlocked the treatment cart and returned wound supplies to the treatment cart and cleaned a pair of scissors with alcohol wipe and then placed scissors into cart. Employee E3 returned to resident's room and collected from the trash can the soiled wash cloths and placed the wash cloths onto the pile of soiled towels sitting on the carpeted floor. Employee E3 used the left hand and collected from the carpeted floor the pile of soiled linen; and then with the right hand collected the trash bag. Employee E3 was followed to the soiled linen room and disposed of the linen in the soiled linen hamper and disposed of the trash bag in the soiled trash hamper. Employee E3 then was observed washing hands in the hand sink. Surveyor inquired of Employee E3 why the trash bag which contained soiled wound dressing and wipes was not placed in a red biohazard trash bag. Employee E3 confirmed that she realized during the wound dressing change that she had forgotten to collect the bio-hazard trash bag before starting wound care. Employee E3 confirmed for surveyor that she wanted to wash her hands first, and then was going to use a red bio-hazard bag for the soiled wound dressing supplies. Employee E3 pointed out to surveyor that the red bio-hazard bags were being stored on the shelf. Employee E3 further stated and confirmed for surveyor that during Resident F1's wound dressing change, the day before Employee E3 used a red bio-hazard bag for resident's soiled dressing. While in possession of the red bio-hazard trash bag, Employee E3 put on gloves and proceeded to open up Resident F1's trash bag and dug through the trash bag until all the soiled wound dressing supplies from the wound dressing change were collected into the red bio-hazard bag. Employee E3 still wearing soiled gloves exited the soiled utility room and accompanied by surveyor then went to the biohazard storage room. Employee E3 while wearing soiled gloves opened the door to the biohazard room and opened up the freezer door and placed this infectious waste into the biohazard waste management freezer for storage until pickup.
