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.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the care plan for the care of resident's
surgical site and left hip dressing was initiated and developed for one of 19 residents reviewed (Resident
141).
This failure had the potential for Resident 141 not to receive the necessary care and services if the surgical
site developed infection and/or the resident experienced other complications.
Findings:
On November 4, 2024, at 12:15 p.m., Resident 141 was observed awake, alert, lying in bed. Resident 141
stated she fell at home and broke her left hip. She stated she had left hip surgery. Resident 141 stated the
surgeon applied a special type of dressing and it should not be removed for seven days.
On November 5, 2024, a record review was conducted for Resident 141. Resident 141 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included fracture of the left hip. The history and physical (H&P)
indicated Resident 141 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
The physician's order dated November 1, 2024, indicated, .L (left) Hip Aquacel Dressing (a type of dressing
that provides a moist environment that supports the growth of new blood vessels) .do not change for 7 days
.
The facility's document titled, NURSING-ADMISSION/readmission EVALUATION ASSESSMENT, dated
October 31, 2024, indicated, .L (left) hip surgical incision .

evidence the surgical site was assessed and monitored.
There was no documented evidence the care plan was initiated and developed for the care of the left hip
dressing and the surgical site.
On November 6, 2024, at 9:45 a.m., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the
Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 1. RNS 1 stated Resident 141 was admitted with the left hip dressing
and acknowledged the physician's order not to be removed for seven days.
RNS 1 stated a care plan for Resident 141's aquacel left hip dressing should have been initiated and
developed to monitor the integrity of the surgical site and the dressing. She stated the licensed nurse who
performed the admission assessment for Resident 141 should have developed the care plan.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care Plans, dated April 2009, indicated, .Care plans
shall incorporate goals and objectives that lead to the resident's highest obtainable level .care plan goals
and objectives are derived from information contained in the resident's comprehensive assessment .

opened bottle of Magnesium Ashwagandha tablets (a medication that supports mental health and sleep)
were observed on top of the resident's bedside table; and
2. For Resident 12, one opened bottle of Calcium Carbonate (medication used to relieve heartburn, acid
indigestion, and stomach upset) was observed on top of the resident's bedside table.
These failures had the potential for Residents 45 and 12 to receive medications without a physician's order.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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). Resident 69 stated he was short of breath this morning, and had to use
the hand held nebulizer for his breathing treatment. The hand held nebulizer mouth piece attached to a
plastic tubing was observed on top of the resident's bedside table close to his urinal.
On November 4, 2024, at 1:10 p.m., a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3. LVN 3 stated the hand held nebulizer should be kept inside the plastic bag when
not in use and should not be left above the bedside table next to the urinal. She stated Resident 69 was at
risk for infection.
On November 5, 2024, a review of Resident 69's record indicated Resident 69 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], with diagnoses which included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD - a lung
disease).
The physician's order dated October 27, 2024, indicated Resident 69 had an order for Albuterol Sulfate (a
medication used for breathing treatment) 2.5milligram (mg- a unit of measurement) per 3 milliliter (ml), 1
inhalation via (through) nebulizer every 4 hours as needed for SOB/Dyspnea (shortness of breath/difficulty
of breathing).
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.
On November 8, 2024, at 12:25 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Infection Preventionist
