3713 LAKIN HOSPITAL 5.1e+125 1 BATEMAN CIRCLE WEST COLUMBIA WV 25287 2018-07-19 880 D 0 1 W6NO11 Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection. A nurse conducting a dressing change did not change their gloves after removing a soiled dressing, apply gloves before opening wound care supplies, or supply a barrier on the table being used for wound care supplies. This practice affected one (1) of two (2) residents observed for dressing changes. Resident identifier: #54. Facility census: 79. Findings included: a) Observation An observation of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #151, on 07/18/18 at 2:30 PM, revealed the nurse was conducting a dressing change of Resident #54's pressure ulcer to his hip and coccyx area. The LPN first put on a pair of gloves, handled her work keys, removed a soiled dressing, then continued to clean the resident's wound without donning a new pair of gloves. The LPN then removed the gloves and opened a foam dressing with her bare hands. The dressing was handled in several places before the LPN placed the dressing on the table. The table did not have a barrier. The LPN then donned a new pair of gloves and attempted to place the foam dressing from the table onto the Resident. b) Interview An interview with LPN #151, on 07/18 at 2:45 PM, revealed the LPN usually changes gloves during every step of the dressing change but was nervous and forgot to do so. The LPN stated she never lays a barrier on the table while conducting dressing changes. The LPN stated she should have put gloves on before touching the dressing used on the Resident. 2020-09-01
