What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of four sampled residents (Residents 8 and 9), who were incontinent of bladder, received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI, an infection in any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, or urethra) according to the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Incontinence, dated 12/19/2022. The facility staff failed to check for incontinence and/or provide incontinent (lacking voluntary control over urination or defecation) care to Resident 8 and Resident 9 every two hours. This failure had the potential to result in Residents 8 and 9 to experience skin breakdown and/or placed Residents 8 and 9 at risk of experiencing a UTI. (Cross Reference F725) Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure (when the lungs can't get enough oxygen into the blood), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), and encephalopathy (brain disease that alters brain function or structure). During a review of Resident 8's untitled care plan (CP) dated 12/23/2023, the CP indicated, Resident 8 had bladder incontinence related to impaired mobility and physical limitations. The CP goal indicated, Resident 8's risk for septicemia (a potentially life-threatening infection that occurs when bacteria, viruses, or fungi enter the bloodstream) would be minimized/prevented via prompt recognition and treatment of symptoms of UTI. The CP interventions included for staff to clean perineal (peri, an area between the thighs that marks the approximate lower boundary of the pelvis and is occupied by the urinary and genital ducts and rectum area) area with each incontinence episode and check every two hours and as required for incontinence, wash, rinse and dry perineum (perineal area), and change clothing as needed after incontinence episode). During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 6/27/2024, the MDS indicated, Resident 8 was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions) in cognitive skills (the ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated, Resident 8 was dependent on staff for toileting, dressing, and bathing. The MDS indicated, Resident 8 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
