10340 | BRIGHTWOOD CENTER | 515128 | 840 LEE ROAD | FOLLANSBEE | WV | 26037 | 2012-01-13 | 441 | D | 1 | 0 | VNEB11 | **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** . Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from the potential for transmission of organisms via inanimate objects. Observation of treatments found one instance of a key, which hung from the nurse's neck, touching a resident's foot and towel, then came in contact with the lift sheet of another resident. Also, observation of another treatment found the name tag of an employee rested on the bare hip of a resident as she helped position the resident during a dressing and wound vac change. Resident identifiers: #81 and #13. Facility census: 102. Findings include: a) Resident #81 Observation of a treatment for [REDACTED].#22, touched the resident's bare foot and a towel that was lying on the bed during the treatment. Observation of a treatment to Resident #81 on 01/11/12 at 12:30 p.m., revealed the same key touched the lift sheet on which the resident had been lying. He had multiple small, slightly opened areas on the posterior left thigh surrounded by areas of reddened skin. Immediately after the treatment was completed, the nurse, Employee #22, was asked about the key touching items in both residents' beds. She stated she does not typically wear the key, but had been in a hurry when a resident became ill unexpectedly a short while before. She had forgotten to remove the key from her neck. She did not realize the key had touched anything in either bed. b) Resident #13 Observation, on 01/11/12 at 5:00 p.m., of a decubitus ulcer on the coccyx of Resident #13, and changing of the wound vac, revealed a malodorous wound. During observation of this treatment, the name tag of Employee #1 (a nursing assistant) was seen lying on the bare left hip of Resident #13 as she helped hold and position the resident on her right side as nurse Employee #22 changed the wound vac. This was brought to Employee #1's attention immediately after the treatment was completed. She removed her name badge and washed and sanitized it. She did not realize her name badge had been lying on the resident's hip. c) Findings for the above two (2) incidents were relayed to the director of nursing on 01/11/12, at approximately 5:30 p.m., with no further information or comments provided. . | 2015-05-01 |
