Ensure Resident 2's privacy curtain was closed and the resident's (a movable fabric barrier designed to provide a private enclosure and block views, commonly used in healthcare settings like hospitals and nursing homes to create patient seclusion) inner thighs were covered and were not exposed while the resident was lying on his bed on 8/11/2025.2. Accommodate Resident 3's request to be gentle when providing perineal care (cleaning the private areas of a resident) from Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1). This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 2 and 3's sense of self-worth and self-esteem which could result in problems with emotional and mental well-being.Findings:1.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/11/2025 at 10:39AM with CNA 2 outside of Resident 2's room, Resident 2's left inner thigh can be seen in the hallway. CNA 2 stated, It is not okay that we can see Resident 2's inner thighs in the hallway. We need to cover it, because it is Resident 2's privacy and dignity. During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/11/2025 at 10:41AM with the Director of Nursing (DON) outside of Resident 2's room, Resident 2's inner thigh was exposed and can be seen from the hallway. The DON stated, We should pull the privacy curtains to provide privacy to Resident 2. Resident 2's inner thigh should not be seen in the hallway. We need to cover him, because of dignity. During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/11/2025 at 10:42 AM with Resident 2, Resident 2 pulled down his gown and made sure his thighs were covered. Resident 2 stated, Well it is not okay that other residents can see my inner thighs.
