Description of Event or Problem · 0

FLUSHED PT'S IV WITH SALINE FLUSH DUE TO ANTIBIOTIC BEING COMPLETE AND REMOVED AN ORANGE SWAB CAP FROM THE PACKAGE AND WHEN I OPENED IT AND INSPECTED IT, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS BROWN/BLACK RESIDUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE PACKAGING. WHEN I TOUCHED IT, SOME RESIDUE CAME OFF ON MY GLOVE. I THREW THE SWAB CAP AWAY ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE PACKAGE AND I OPENED A NEW PACKAGE OF SWAB CAPS. UPON INSPECTING A CAP THAT I TOOK FROM THAT PACKAGE, THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY RESIDUE ON THE CAP, AND ONE WAS PLACED ON HUB OF PT'S PICC LINE.
