Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), the facility failed to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice in caring for the resident with a Foley catheter (a flexible tube that is passed into the bladder to drain urine) when:
Residents Affected - Few - Resident 1's urine characteristics (amount, color, odor, transparency) was not assessed and monitored for any changes. - Resident 1's intake and output (the measurement of the fluids that enter the body [intake] and the fluids that leave the body [output]) were not monitored per the physician's order. This failure contributed to Resident 1's transfer to the acute hospital and required intravenous (IV) fluids (administration of fluids into the person's veins) for fluid resuscitation (replenishing bodily fluids lost through sweating and bleeding).
Findings: Review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure), moderate protein calorie malnutrition, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and need for assistance with personal care. Resident 1 was admitted with a Foley catheter. Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report for February 2022 indicated a physician order dated 2/1/22 for I & O (intake and output) x 1 month . The report also indicated an order dated 2/1/22 for Resident 1 to receive apixaban tablet (an anticoagulant, prescription medication to prevent blood clots) 5 milligrams (mg) twice daily. During a telephone interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) 1 on 1/31/23 at 4:11 p.m., DON 1 stated for a resident with a Foley catheter, intake and output monitoring would be recorded in the Medication Administration Record (MAR) by the licensed nurse assigned during the shift. Review of Resident 1's MAR for February 2022 did not indicate intake and output record/monitoring was done as ordered by the physician. Review of Resident 1's undated care plan for potential bleeding related to the use of anticoagulant medication indicated for staff to monitor urine for presence of blood. Review of Resident 1's undated Foley catheter care plan indicated for staff to monitor/record/report to MD for signs/symptoms of UTI or urinary tract infection, any infection in the bladder, kidneys or urethra (tube through which urine leaves the body). Another intervention to prevent a catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), included staff to provide catheter care every shift. Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Catheter Care, Urinary, last revised September 2014, for Input/Output, staff must Maintain an accurate record of the resident's daily output, per facility policy and procedure. Also, documentation of the character of urine, such as color, clarity, and odor should be recorded in the resident's medical record.
