F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure for one of four residents reviewed for urinary catheter (tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine), the urinary catheter drainage bag was covered with a dignity bag (a bag that covers and holds a catheter drainage to keep it out of sight). This failure resulted in violation of Resident 37's rights to be treated with dignity and respect. Findings: On November 4, 2024, at 10:17 a.m., Resident 37 was observed with the urinary catheter drainage bag not covered with a dignity bag. On November 4, 2024, at 10:20 a.m., during an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, she stated there should be a dignity bag over the urinary catheter drainage bag. CNA 1 stated not covering the drainage bag could cause embarrassment to the resident. On November 4, 2024, at 10:25 a.m., during an interview with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, she stated the dignity bag should be placed over the urinary catheter drainage bag. LVN 1 stated the policy of the facility was to place a dignity bag over the urinary catheter drainage bag. On November 7, 2024, at 2:40 p.m., during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated it was the facility policy to cover the urinary catheter drainage bag to provide dignity and respect to the resident. A review of Resident 37's admission record indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included Type 2 diabetes (chronic disease that occurs when the body does not use insulin properly), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH - enlarged prostate gland), hypertension (high blood pressure), and cerebrovascular accident (occurs when blood flow to the brain is suddenly cut off). A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized comprehensive assessment and care planning tool), dated October 3, 2024, indicated Resident 37 had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status - a tool used to screen and identify cognitive condition of residents) score of 12 (moderate cognitive impairment). A review of Resident 37's physician orders dated September 27, 2024, indicated to change urinary catheter bag every 14 days for urinary retention secondary to BPH.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection prevention and control practices were implemented for three of 19 residents reviewed (Residents 69, 86, and 140) when: Residents Affected - Few 1. For Resident 69, the hand held nebulizer mouthpiece (a device that contains medication that turns into a mist) was left exposed on top of the bedside table near the resident's urinal; 2. For Resident 86, the Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP - infection control practices that use gowns and gloves to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms) was not followed when the resident was admitted with the colostomy (an operation in which a piece of the colon is diverted to an artificial opening in the abdomen that allows stool to pass through); and 3. For Resident 140, the Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) was not wearing a gown when performing physical therapy exercises at the resident's bedside. Resident 140 was identified for EBP. These failures had the potential to increase the risk for cross contamination and the development of infection from staff to vulnerable residents. Findings: 1. On November 4, 2024, at 12:50 p.m., Resident 69 was observed awake, alert, sitting up at the edge of his bed with oxygen on at 5Liters/minute through nasal cannula (a plastic tubing with two prongs used to deliver oxygen through the nose).

On November 8, 2024, at 10:20 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated the hand held nebulizer should be kept inside the plastic bag after use to prevent infection. She stated licensed staff who administered the nebulizer treatment for Resident 69 should have placed the nebulizer kit inside the plastic bag after cleaning.
