This placed residents at risk for cross contamination. Findings include: The facility's Hand Washing Policy and Procedure dated 1/1/98 directed staff to perform hand hygiene after contact with a wound dressing and to decontaminate hands after removing gloves. Resident 40 was admitted to the facility in 7/2014 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 1/30/19 at 3:15 PM Staff 3 (LPN) performed hand hygiene before donning two pairs of gloves. Staff 3 removed the foam dressing and cleansed the wound area. Staff 3 discarded the first pair of gloves and applied a foam dressing with the remaining pair of gloves. On 1/30/19 at 3:55 PM Staff 3 (LPN) stated he should have removed the gloves to perform hand hygiene between the dressing removal and cleansing the wound instead of double gloving without performing hand hygiene. On 1/30/19 at 4:00 PM the wound dressing change was discussed with Staff 5 (DNS) and she acknowledged Staff 3 (LPN) did not perform proper hand hygiene during wound care for Resident 40. 2020-09-01
