3771	WAR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL	5.1e+151	1 HEALTHY WAY	BERKELEY SPRINGS	WV	25411	2018-05-09	812	F	0	1	ONYB11	Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to prepare and serve food in a sanitary manner. This had the potential to affect any resident who receives nourishment from the dietary kitchen. Facility census: 16. Findings included: a) Lunch tray serve line observation in the kitchen On 05/08/18 at 11:50 a.m., water was observed on the floor beside the tray serve line in the dietary kitchen. Cook Employee #10's (E#10) work station on the food serve line ensured that she stood between the tray line and the water spill on the floor. At this time of observation, E#10 was in the process of assisting to serve food to the residents and to the patients in the hospital. She wore purple-colored latex gloves during the food tray serve to ensure her bare hands did not come into direct contact with resident's or hospital patient's food or items on the tray. At 11:50 a.m. on 05/08/18, E#10 used a white-colored cleaning cloth to mop the water spill on the floor, while wearing her purple-colored latex gloves. After she wiped the spill thoroughly, E#10 carried the wet cloth into the area which housed the dishwashing machine and disposed of the now wet, dirty, cleaning cloth. E#10 immediately returned to her station on the tray line serve, to resume serving the lunch meal to residents. As she reached for a clean plate, she wore the same purple-colored latex gloves which she wore while wiping the water spill on the floor. Upon inquiry as to whether she should change gloves and wash hands now, she replied in the affirmative and thanked the questioner for the reminder. On 05/08/18 at 12:22 p.m., an interview was conducted with the dietary manager, Employee #59. She said Employee #10 should have washed hands and changed gloves after wiping up the water on the floor. E#59 said the water on the floor came from condensation from the steamer, which is located across from the tray line. She said that all dietary staff have received on-going in-service education on cleanliness and infection control, which included hand hygiene principles.	2020-09-01
