- Failure to Provide and Implement an Infection Protection and Control Program – citation date May 25, 2018
- Failure to Implement a Program That Monitors Antibiotic Use – citation date May 25, 2018
The state surveyors documented that the nursing home “failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program to prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections.” The deficient practice involved three residents who were quarantined in contact isolation.
The surveyors noted that “Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was not available for the use in the vicinity of the residents’ rooms and staff were observed entering the residents’ rooms without donning appropriate PPE [before] providing care to the residents.”
In one incident, an observation was made of a State Registered Nurse Aide (SRNA) providing “incontinence care for the resident and placed soiled linens and soiled incontinence products in bags. The SRNA then tied the bags with gloved hands, open the resident’s door, and place the bags and receptacles.”
During observations of a distant incident, a resident’s room was observed “with no signage indicating the resident was on contact precautions as required by the facility’s policies and no evidence PPE was available for staff and visitors to use when providing care for the resident.”
According to investigators, the nursing home “failed to ensure the antibiotic stewardship program effectively monitor the use of antibiotics.” In one incident, a resident was admitted to the facility to receive six weeks of IV antibiotics. The nursing staff was to follow the Physician’s orders.
However, “the facility failed to review and monitor the end of buttocks to ensure the antibiotics were prescribed for the appropriate duration to treat the resident’s infection adequately.”
