Shared Single-Use Foam Wedge Between Residents: A CNA removed a foam wedge from one resident’s closet and used it to reposition another resident for breakfast, after wiping it with a wipe. The CNA said this was her normal practice when a resident did not have a wedge of their own. RN AA and the DON stated the wedge was for one resident’s use only and should not be shared because of cross contamination and infection control concerns.

Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide and implement an infection prevention and control program when staff shared a single-use resident care item between residents in two rooms. Observation on 9/26/2025 at 8:15 AM showed CNA DD enter one resident room, remove a foam wedge from the closet, and take it to another resident room. The CNA then used the foam wedge to reposition a resident in bed 3 so the resident could be assisted with the morning meal. During interview, the CNA stated she wiped the wedge with a wipe and placed it on the resident’s right side to maintain an aligned supine position at a 45-degree angle for breakfast, and acknowledged she should have placed a cover over the wedge before using it. The CNA also stated the resident in the second room did not have a wedge of her own and that when residents do not have a wedge, staff would use another resident’s wedge for the resident who needed one, which she described as her normal practice. RN AA stated all residents who need a wedge should have their own and that staff should not use a wedge assigned to one resident for any other resident, even if cleaned and covered, because it could cause cross contamination and infection control problems. The DON stated that if a foam wedge is stored in a resident’s closet it is for that resident’s use only, that it is not acceptable to use a wedge with multiple residents, and that the wedge used in the second room was a single resident use item and should not be shared.
