Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the
appropriate care and services to prevent the UTI for two of three sampled residents (Residents1 and 2)
reviewed for the use of the indwelling urinary catheters.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 1's indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag was not laying on the
floor.
* The facility failed to ensure the physician was notified when Resident 2 had a change in condition due to
frequent leakage of the indwelling urinary catheter and clarify the size of the indwelling urinary catheter
prior to be inserted.
These failures had the potential for not providing the necessary care and services and posed a risk for
adverse complications related to the indwelling urinary catheter use.
Findings:
1. Review of the CDC's guidelines titled Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) Prevention
Guideline dated 4/2024, showed urinary tract infections are the most common type of healthcare
