Failure to provide 8 consecutive hrs of RN coverage daily. Review of schedules showed the facility did not have consecutive RN coverage on multiple days, and the Administrator stated the RN had been splitting her day to provide 8 hrs of coverage total rather than 8 consecutive hrs. The facility policy required an RN for at least 8 consecutive hrs a day, 7 days a week, unless waived by state regulations.
Infection Control Lapses During Urostomy Care: An LPN was observed changing a resident's double urostomies and did not sanitize hands or change gloves between the right and left stoma sites. The LPN also touched the tip of the stoma powder bottle to the resident's abdomen several times and handled items on the tray with gloved hands without cleaning the bottle tip before recapping it. Another LPN and the Administrator acknowledged the concerns.

Infection Control Lapses During Urostomy Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow infection control practices during a double urostomy change for Resident #33. The resident had a physician's order dated 3/12/24 directing licensed nurses to change the double urostomies twice a week on shower days and as needed during the day shift every Tuesday and Friday. On 3/16/26 at 10:00 AM, Staff A, an LPN, was observed in the resident's room preparing supplies on a tray table with a barrier in place, using hand sanitizer, and donning gloves before beginning the procedure. During the change, Staff A removed the urostomy bag and stoma device from the right urostomy, cleansed around the tubing with soap and water, and dried the area. She then moved to the left urostomy site without removing her gloves or sanitizing her hands and washed around the stoma and tubing at that site. While applying stoma powder, she touched the tip of the stoma powder bottle to the resident's abdomen several times around both stomas and also touched bottles and other items on the tray table while still wearing gloves. She did not clean the tip of the stoma powder bottle before replacing the cap. Staff B, an LPN and Clinical Learning and Development Specialist, observed the procedure and acknowledged the hand hygiene and glove-use concerns, as well as the bottle tip contact with the resident's skin. The Administrator also acknowledged the observations as concerns.
