The Interventions included the physician's orders [REDACTED]. 1/2 strength wet to dry packing. Cover with 4x4s and wrap with Kerlix PRN (as needed) when wound vac is reapplied. Start Date 03/04/19. (2) Wound vac (negative pressure wound therapy) in place to wound to right great toe amputation site. Apply wound vac at amputation site at 125 mmHg (millimeters of Mercury) Change Q (every) Tuesday and Friday. Start Date 03/04/19. An observation, on 03/05/19, 4:40 PM, revealed Registered Nurse (RN) #3/Wound Care Nurse provided Resident #133's wound care to the right foot/great toe. RN #3 was assisted by Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #3. RN #3 set up the wound care supplies on the over bed table, and then she placed the red biohazard bag on Resident #3, which positioned the right toe wound between RN #3 and the red biohazard bag. After looking over the supplies RN #3 identified she forgot to get scissors from the wound care cart. RN #3 left the room, and returned with the scissors in her bare hands. RN #3 laid the scissors on the tray containing her clean dressings without cleaning the scissors. RN #3 removed the dirty dressing, and discarded it into the red biohazard bag. RN #3 washed her hands and gloved to begin cleaning the wound. RN #3 wiped the wound with normal saline soaked gauze, and discarded the gauze into the red bag. RN #3 got another piece of normal saline gauze, wiped the other side of the wound, and discarded the gauze into the red bag. RN #3 took another piece of the normal saline gauze, wiped the wound, and the normal saline dripped down the side of the foot. RN #3 took the same piece of gauze and reached down to catch the dripping saline and wiped back towards the cleaned wound going from an uncleaned area to a cleaned area, thus wiping dirty to clean. RN #3 did not reclean the wound before attempting to apply the wound vac to the wound. RN #3 washed her hands and gloved, and then picked up the foam that was to be packed into the wound and crossed the cleaned wound over to the red bag and held the foam above the red bag, with the dirty dressing and gauze in it, and began trimming the foam with the uncleaned scissors. RN #3 brought the foam from over the red bag back to the wound, and placed it on the wound. She then reached back over and got the second piece of foam and crossed the clean wound again going to the red bag. RN #3 began trimming the foam over the red bag, and then brought the foam back and placed it on wound. She picked up the end of the wound vac that was to be placed over the foam on the wound. RN #3 placed the wound vac tubing on Resident #133's gown. The end to the tubing was uncapped. RN #3 sealed the part of the wound vac with the dressings cut earlier. She then picked up the tubing from the gown and hooked it to the wound vac itself without cleaning the uncapped tube. Suction was obtained. RN #3 cleaned up her trash, washed her hands, and exited the room. An interview, on 03/05/19 at 5:10 PM, with RN #3/Wound Care Nurse revealed, I did wipe the wound from dirty to clean and I knew it when I did it. RN #3 stated, I didn't think about crossing over the wound to the red bag with the foam then bringing it back over and putting it in the wound. I can see where that would be a contamination issue. I cleaned the scissors before bringing them in the room, but I didn't reclean them after bringing them into the room in my hand. I didn't think about that being an issue but I can see where they could be considered dirty being toted in my bare hand. I held the foam above the red bag to trim it, and I wasn't thinking about it being a contamination issue since I didn't touch it. But with the dirty dressing being in the red bag I can see it being a issue. Record review of Resident #133's Physician order [REDACTED]. 1/2 strength wet to dry packing. Cover with 4x4s and wrap with Kerlix PRN (as needed) when wound vac is reapplied. Start Date 02/27/19.
