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, for 4 of 46 sampled residents (Resident 76, 82, 112, and 105),
facility failed to ensure residents were treated with dignity and respect when:
1. Facility staff assisted Residents 76, 105 and 112 with their meals while standing.
2. Facility staff who assisted Resident 82 with meals stood up two times, interrupting the resident's meal.
This failure had the potential to result in undignified treatment.
Findings:
1. During an observation and concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 on 3/18/19 at
8:55 a.m., LVN 7 was in Resident 105's room. LVN 7 stood by Resident 105's left side as Resident 105 was
sitting up in bed and being assisted by LVN 7. LVN 7 stated she made sure to stand up while assisting
Resident 105 with her meals because LVN 7 had already sat down doing paperwork.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/19/19 at 8:36 a.m.,
Residents 112 and Resident 76 were assisted by two facility staff with their lunch. Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) 4 was standing at Resident 112's right side and Staffing Coordinator (SC) stood at
Resident 76's left side. Both Residents 112 and 76 were sitting up in their respective beds. At this time,
DON entered Residents 112 and 76's room. When asked if the two staff were supposed to be standing
while they assisted with meals, DON stated both CNA 4 and SD should be sitting on a chair. DON exited
the room and stated she would get two chairs so both staff could sit down.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Dining Program last revised 11/2012 indicated Staff is to
sit while feeding residents (Dependent Diners), and food is to be removed from the trays when it is
appropriate to do so.
2. Review of admission Record dated 3/20/19 showed Resident 82 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of admission Record dated 3/20/19 showed Resident 31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
During dining observation on 3/18/19 at 12:44 p.m., Resident 82 and Resident 31 were sitting at the same
dining table for lunch in the main dining area.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, for three of three residents (Residents 36, 98 and 172) who received Medicare
benefits, the facility failed to inform residents of charges for services that would not be covered under
Medicare or the facility's per diem rates should residents opted to stay in the facility after Medicare services
were discontinued when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. For Resident 36, Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (SNFABN) Form
issued was not completely filled out.
2. For Resident 98, SNFABN form did not have the resident or resident representative's signature.
3. For Resident 172, SNFABN form was not completely filled out and did not have resident's or resident
representative's signature.
This failure had the potential to result in uninformed healthcare decisions.
Findings:
1. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included diabetes mellitus (abnormal levels of blood sugar) and left leg amputation. The Order
Summary Report for March 2019 indicated a physician's order dated 1/2/19 for Resident 36 to be
discharged home.
Review of Resident 36's Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (SNF ABN, a
notice issued to original Medicare beneficiaries before the skilled facility provides service that is usually
paid for by Medicare, but may not be covered because it is not medically necessary or when the resident
would receive custodial care.) dated and signed by Resident 36 on 12/16/18. The notice indicated
Beginning 12/16/18, you may have to pay out of pocket for this care if you do not have other insurance that
may cover these costs. The notice did not indicate the care, reason Medicare may not pay for the care and
estimated cost of the service/care (that Resident 36 may have to pay out of pocket if Medicare did not pay
for it).
2. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 98 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
included pneumonitis (infection of the lungs), hemiplegia and hemiparesis (paralysis/weakness of one side
of the body) and muscle weakness. The Order Summary Report for March 2019 indicated Resident 98
received Occupational Therapy (OT, therapy based on engagement in meaningful life activities such as
self-care, work or social interaction) Physical Therapy (PT, therapy for the preservation or restoration of
movement and physical function like walking) and Speech Therapy (ST, addresses communication and
speech-related challenges to improve verbal, non-verbal and social communication).
3. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 172 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included muscle weakness, heart failure, and intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain). The
Order Summary Report printed on 3/19/19 indicated Occupational Therapy was ordered for Resident 172,
but was discharged from OT on 11/8/18. The report also indicated an order dated 11/16/18 for Resident
172 to be discharged to home.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a care plan for pain for one of 46 sampled
residents (Resident 74), which had the potential to cause Resident 74 to have unmet pain relief needs.
Findings:
Review of the admission record for Resident 74 indicated that he was admitted on [DATE] with multiple
diagnoses including chronic pain.
During an interview with Resident 74 on 3/18/19 at 10:51 a.m., he stated he was in a lot of pain most of the
time. He stated he can get pain medication every six hours, but it was not enough. He stated he could also
have Tylenol as needed, but that did not help.
During an interview and concurrent record review with Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/21/19 at 10:05 a.m.
of Resident 74's care plan, she stated there was no care plan for pain. She stated Resident 74 should have
a care plan for pain since he was on pain medications and was assessed for pain.
The facility policy and procedure titled,Care Plan, Baseline and Comprehensive, revised 11/2017, indicated,
A comprehensive person-centered care plan consistent with residents rights will include measurable
objectives and time frames to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, for two of two (Residents 37 and 76) sampled residents who were
dependent on dialysis (a treatment where a machine cleans and filters the blood of toxins when the kidneys
are not healthy enough to do it adequately, will be used interchangeably with hemodialysis), the facility
failed to ensure services were provided in accordance with professional practice and comprehensive
person-centered plan of care when phosphate binders (medications that binds with dietary phosphorus in
the gastrointestinal tract) were not administered as ordered by the physician.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had resulted in increased phosphorus level in Resident 37 and had potential to result in
increased phosphorus level for Resident 76.
Findings:
1. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included diabetes mellitus (abnormal levels of blood sugar) and end stage kidney failure and required
hemodialysis. The Order Summary Report as of 3/1/19 indicated an order dated 12/23/18 for Resident 37
to receive sevelamer carbonate 800 mg (a phosphate binder) one tablet by mouth with meals three times
daily. The Order Summary Report also indicated Resident 37 had hemodialysis every three times weekly
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m
During an interview with Resident 37 on 3/19/19 at 8:49 a.m., Resident 37 stated he brought his own lunch
to dialysis center. Resident 37 stated dialysis staff did not administer any medication during lunch.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 37's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for
March 2019 with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 on 3/19/19 at 10:53 a.m., LVN 4 stated, on dialysis
days, Resident 37 left for dialysis at 9:45 a.m. and did not return to the facility until 3 p.m. so Resident 37
was given sack lunch to eat at the dialysis center. LVN 4 stated Resident 37 was not given sevelamer
carbonate along with the sack lunch. LVN 4 also stated she thought dialysis center licensed staff
administered sevelamer while Resident 37 was at the dialysis center.
Review of Resident 37's MAR indicated the following:
-In January 2019, calcium acetate (another phosphate binder) 667 mg. by mouth with meals was ordered
on 12/23/18. The MAR indicated calcium acetate was not administered 15 out of 90 times for reason that
Resident 37 was off the unit. Calcium acetate was discontinued on 1/30/19. Sevelamer carbonate was not
administered 15 out of 90 times for the same reason that Resident 37 was off the unit.
-In February 2019, 12 out of 90 doses were not administered to Resident 37.
-In March 2019, 9 out of 58 doses were not administered to Resident 37.
During a telephone interview with Registered Nurse (RN) 3 on 3/20/19 at 8:18 a.m., RN 3 stated Resident
37 did not have sevelamer acetate in his binder or with his sack lunch. RN 3 also stated if the facility wanted
the medication administered at the dialysis center, the medication should have been sent with Resident
37's communication binder. RN 3 also stated it was not the dialysis center's responsibility to administer the
medication since Resident 37 was alert and able to follow instructions.

Review of Resident 37's laboratory results dated [DATE] indicated phosphorus level of 4.5 mg/dL, a
laboratory result collected on 1/21/19 indicated Resident 37's phosphorus level as 4.5 mg/dL. The
laboratory result dated 2/18/19 indicated Resident 37's phosphorus level was 5.7 mg/dL (goal range:
3.5-5.5).
During a telephone interview with Registered Dietician (RD) 2 on 3/20/19 at 1:45 p.m., RD 2 stated she did
not know Resident 37 missed his lunch dose of sevelamer on dialysis days. RD 2 stated missed doses of
sevelamer acetate could result in elevated phosphorus level.
2. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 76 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included chronic kidney disease and was dependent on dialysis. Resident 76's Order Summary Report
dated 3/20/19 indicated Resident 7 went to dialysis center every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6
a.m. until 10 a.m. The report also indicated an order dated 1/18/19 for Resident 76 to receive calcium
acetate capsule 667 mg by mouth with meals.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Resident 76 and Family Member (FM) 1 on 3/18/19 at
10:38 a.m., both Resident 76 and FM 1 stated they had just returned from dialysis center and had just
finished eating breakfast that staff had left at the bedside for Resident 76. Resident 76's breakfast tray,
which was almost empty, was on the overbed table. Both Resident 76 and FM 1 also stated Resident 76
was getting ready to go to the rehabilitation gym for exercises. Resident 76 stated he has not taken any
medications yet since returning from dialysis center.
During an interview and review of Resident 76's MAR for March 2019 with Registered Nurse (RN) 4 on
3/19/19 at 9:37 a.m., RN 4 stated she administered phosphate binder to Resident 76 at 9:07 a.m RN 4 also
stated she administered the medication 20-30 minutes after Resident 76 had eaten his meals. RN 4 stated,
because Resident 76 left facility at 5 a.m for dialysis, sevelamer acetate that was administered with
breakfast was not given on dialysis days. RN 4 stated she marked the MAR with 11 which was code for off
the unit for when residents were not at the facility during medication pass. Further review of the MARs
indicated the following:
- In January 2019, three of 40 doses were not administered.
- In February 2019, six out of 84 doses were not administered.
- In March 2019, eight out 52 doses were not administered.
During a telephone interview with RD 2 on 3/20/19 at 1:45 p.m., RD 2 stated phosphate binders should be
given just before the resident eats, administering the medication 10-15 minutes after the resident
completed the meal is not very effective.
Review of the manufacturer's prescribing information indicated oral dosage forms must be administered
with meals to be effective.

During review of Resident 76's clinical record with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3 on 3/20/19 at 11:05
a.m., LVN 3 stated the laboratory results for Resident 76 was not in the chart. LVN 3 stated she would have
to call the dialysis center to obtain the results. LVN 3 did not answer when asked who was responsible to
make sure the laboratory results were available in Resident 76's chart.

Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Dialysis, Coordination of Care & Assessment of Resident
last revised 1/2018 indicated that while the resident is at the facility, the facility has direct responsibility for
assessment of the resident that including monitoring laboratory studies ordered and performed.
According to the National kidney Foundation, normally, kidneys can remove phosphorus from the blood but
if the kidneys are not well enough, they cannot remove phosphorus very well. High levels of phosphorus
can cause damage to the body and pulls calcium out of the bones making them weak. High phosphorus
and calcium levels also lead to dangerous deposits in the blood vessels, eyes, and heart.

3. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (paralysis/weakness on one side of the body) following a stroke.
Review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated
12/17/18 indicated Resident 13 was not able to verbalize needs and had short term and long term memory
impairment. The assessment also indicated Resident 13 required extensive staff assistance daily tasks that
included transfers, moving in bed, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. Resident 13 was not able to
eat without total help from staff.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Registered Nurse (RN) 8 on 3/18/19 at 11:23 a.m.,
Resident 13 was in bed and tried to extend his arm in front of his chest. Resident 13's was not able to open
his right hand that was closed in a tight fist. RN 8 stated Resident 13's hand had been contracted (from the
word contracture, an abnormal or permanent shortening of the muscle that results in distortion of a joint) for
awhile now but RN 8 was not able to stated for how long. RN 8 attempted to help Resident 13 spread his
right fingers and Resident 13 moaned and grimaced. Resident 13 did not have any hand rolls in his right
hand.
During a telephone interview with Family Member (FM) 2 on 3/19/19 at 12:40 p.m., FM 1 stated not being
happy that Resident 13 seemed to have pain on his right hand when Resident 13 attempted to open or
when somebody tried to open his right hand. FM 1 stated Resident 13 cried in pain whenever FM 1 tried to
open his right hand. FM 1 stated it would have helped if the facility provided exercises because it had gotten
very stiff.
During joint interviews and concurrent review of the clinical record with Minimum Data Set Coordinator
(MDSC) and Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) 1 on 3/20/19 at 2:17 p.m., RNA 1 confirmed there was
an order dated 3/3/15 for application of a splint on Resident 13's right hand for 4 hours five times weekly or
as tolerated. Resident 13's MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident 13 had functional limitations
on both sides of upper and lower extremities. MDSC stated there was no care plan developed to address
Resident 13's limited range of motion problem.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Contracture Management last revised 11/2012 indicated
joint mobility limitations/contractures will be identified through nursing assessment and MDS assessment.
When new joint mobility or increased contractures are identified, rehabilitation department will be consulted
for further evaluation and treatment. Intervention will be documented to meet the resident's immediate
needs which may include pain relief, proper alignment, repositioning for comfort and assistance with daily
life activities. Nurse will complete and revise the plan of care that included current or potential joint mobility
limitations.

she had to work as a CNA on the floor. RNA 1 stated on those days that she had to work as CNA, RNA
program and exercises for residents were not done. When asked if right hand range of motion exercises
were attempted for Resident 13, RNA 1 stated range of motion exercises took a lot of time and that she did
not have much time to spend on one resident. RNA 1 added splinting is much better option because you
just have to apply the splint, leave, and move on to another resident.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide Range Of Motion (ROM)
exercises to three (Resident 69, 75 and 13) of 33 sampled residents for limited ROM in extremities.
This failure had the potential for Resident 69, 75 and 13 to suffer from worsening of limitation in ROM in
extremities.
Findings:
1. Review of admission Record dated 3/21/19 showed Resident 69 was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
During an observation on 3/19/19 at 7:51 a.m., Resident 69 was lying in bed with left arm and left leg
covered under the bed sheet. When asked if she was able to move left arm and left leg, Resident 69
nodded her head as no.
Review of Initial History and Physical dated 1/22/19 showed Resident 69 had an active diagnosis of left
hemiplegia (paralysis of left side).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/19 at 9:29 a.m., Registered Nurse (RN 2)
confirmed Resident 69 did not receive ROM exercises for left side weakness.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/19 at 10:05 a.m., Rehab Program Director (Rehab
Dir.) confirmed Resident 69 did not receive any therapy after 12/11/18.
During an interview with facility's Restorative Nurse Aide (RNA 1) on 3/21/19 at 10:28 a.m., RNA 1 stated, I
was told by Rehab Department two weeks ago to provide ROM exercises to Resident 69. I have been doing
ROM exercises for Resident 69, but I have not documented because there was no orders in the computer.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/19 at 10:55 a.m., Health Information Director
(HIM) confirmed Resident 69's electronic health record had Task- Daily exercise, Morning Stretch assigned
for the RNA and CNA. HIM also confirmed there was no documentation if the task was being completed in
the past 30 days.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. A review of
the admission record for Resident 26 indicated she was readmitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses
including chronic pain.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview with Resident 26 on 3/18/19 at 9:27 a.m., she stated she was taking long acting
Morphine Sulfate tablets every eight hours for her pain, but she was constantly getting it late. She stated it
made her very anxious, and she worried that it would not be available to alleviate her pain.
A review of Resident 26's physician orders dated 5/9/17 indicated, Morphine Sulfate (MS) Tablet Extended
Release 15 mg *Controlled Drug*-Give one tablet by mouth every eight hours for pain management .
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/20/19 at 10:44
a.m. of the documented medication administration times for Resident 26 for February 2018 and March
2018, Morphine Sulfate was given more than one hour after the scheduled administration time on thirty-four
occasions. The DON stated she did not know why the Morphine Sulfate had been given late. She stated it
should be given within one hour of the scheduled time. That was the policy. She stated she would need to
inservice the licensed nurses.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration-General Guidelines dated October 2017,
indicated, Medications are administered within sixty minutes of scheduled time (one hour before and one
hour after).
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to manage pain for two (Resident 120
and 26) of 46 sampled residents, when:
1. Resident 120 did not receive pain medication as desired prior to therapy session.
2. Resident 26 did not receive scheduled pain medication in a timely manner.
This failure had the potential for Resident 120 and 26 to suffer from complications of pain such as limited
mobility, and decreased participation in therapy.
Findings:
1. Review of admission Record showed Resident 120 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with active
diagnosis of fracture of neck of Right femur (hip bone) and fracture of left acetabulum (socket of hip bone).
Review of Resident 120's Physicians Order Summary Report dated 3/18/19 showed Resident 120 to
receive: Morphine Sulphate Solution 20 mg/ml Give 10 mg by mouth every 6 hours as needed for severe
pain.
During an observation and interview with Resident 120 on 3/18/19 at 9:20 a.m., Resident 120 was lying in
bed. Resident 120 stated severe pain was affecting his ability to perform physical therapy over the course of
time. Resident 120 also stated that he requested nursing staff to give Morphine Sulphate dose prior to
therapy at 2:00 p.m., however nursing staff was not following his request.

During an interview on 3/18/19 at 10:28 a.m., when asked how did nursing staff address Resident 120's
pain levels and participation in physical therapy, Registered Nurse (RN 2) stated Resident 120 does not
really have that much pain, but he says he has high pain levels.
During an interview on 3/20/19 at 11:54 a.m., Director of Nursing (DON) stated Pain is always what
Resident tells us, we can not assume what the pain level is.
Review of Resident 120's Medication Administration Record dated 3/18/19 showed documented pain levels
were ranging from 2-9 between time period of 3/4/19 till 3/18/19. Further review showed Resident 120
received MS prior to therapy only for 3 occasions.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/20/19 at 12:45 p.m., DON confirmed Resident 120's
care plan for pain management and physician order for Morphine Sulphate did not specify to give MS prior
to therapy.

may be localized to one area or may be more generalized. It may be acute or chronic, continuous or
intermittent, or occur at rest or with movement. Pain is very subjective; pain is whatever the experiencing
person says it is and exists whenever he or she says it does.
Review of facility's policy and procedure titled Pain Management revised 11/28/17 showed A pain
management plan provides an organized mechanism for the assessment and treatment of pain includes:
appropriately trained staff determined competent to assess and treat pain using standardized pain rating
scales. Further review showed A plan of care is developed for patients, documented and updated as

During an interview with DS on 3/18/19 at 9:00 a.m., DS stated the clothing belonged to the kitchen staff,
they did not have space in employee locker. DS also stated employee's personal belongings were not
transmitting any infections, so it was okay to keep it there.
During another interview on 3/18/19 at 12:05 p.m., DS stated he was not aware if staff was storing their
personal items inside the kitchen. And that it was for the first time that he noticed staff's personal items in
food storage area.
During an interview with Director of Staff Development (DSD) who was also Infection Prevention Nurse on
3/20/19 at 9:50 a.m., DSD stated,Staff's personal items should be in lockers or shelves in the break room.
They should not be stored inside the kitchen.
During a follow up interview on 3/21/19 at 9:52 a.m., DSD stated facility did not have a policy for storing
personal items. DSD also stated she was taught by previous DSD that way to store personal items only in
staff's lockers and shelves in break room.
4. During kitchen's initial tour accompanied by DS on 3/18/19 at 9:10 a.m., three compartment sink was
noted with no air-gap (a gap created to prevent back flow of contaminated water) at the drain line. DS did
not comment on having a need of air gap.
During a follow up observation and interview on 3/18/19 at 1:55 p.m., Maintenance Supervisor (MS) stated
the sink had 90 degrees gooseneck (elbow) installed in the drain pipe. MS also stated the sink did not need
an air gap and gooseneck was sufficient to prevent the back flow.
During an interview on 3/18/19 at 1:56 p.m., DS stated,this is an old [AGE] years old grandfathers kitchen,
so we do not have to have an air gap. We do not have a policy on that. DS also stated if facility was to build
a new sink, only then air gap was a requirement.
During another interview on 3/21/19 at 10:52 a.m., Administrator (Adm) stated, I do not think we need an
air gap because there is gooseneck.
During unusual situations drinking water systems may develop negative pressure in portions of the system.
If a connection exists between the system and a source of contaminated water during times of negative
pressure, contaminated water may be drawn into and foul the entire system. Providing an air gap between
the water supply outlet and the flood level rim of a plumbing fixture or equipment prevents contamination
that may be caused by backflow (USDA Food Code Annex 2013, Section 5-202.13).
5. During an observation on 3/19/19 at 12:09 p.m., DA 1 was observed with uncovered beard in kitchen's

Resident 82 with meals after CNA 1 touched a chair and pushed Resident 31's wheelchair out of the room.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
These failures had the potential to result in spread of infection.
Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 99 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included urinary tract infection, acute kidney failure. Resident 99 had a foley catheter (a hollow flexible
tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra) in place.
During observation and concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 on 3/18/19 at 9:14
a.m., Resident 99's urinary drainage bag was on the floor and it was full. LVN 4 stated the urinary bag
should not be on the floor because of the risk of the catheter being pulled out.
During an observation and concurrent interview with LVN 4 on 3/18/19 at 9:26 a.m., LVN 4 returned to
Resident 99's room with a drainage bag that did not have a cover. The tip of the tubing that was to be
connected to the catheter was uncovered and was touching Resident 99's bed linens. LVN 4 stated she
needed to change Resident 99's drainage bag because it touched the floor. LVN 4 asked Assistant Director
of Nursing (ADON) to show her how to change the drainage bag because she has not done it before.
ADON and LVN 4 both donned gloves and were about to change the bag by pulling out the old one and
inserting the tip of the tubing that had repeatedly touched the bed linens. When asked if they were going to
continue despite the tubing being potentially contaminated, ADON told LVN 4 to get another unopened
urinary drainage kit.
During an interview with Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 3/20/19 at 12:30 p.m., DSD stated when
changing a urinary drainage bag, a licensed staff should do the following: 1. drain urine from the bag into a
container or urinal, 2. kink the catheter, 3. old drainage bag is pulled out and goes into a garbage bag that
should be on the floor, 4. open the urinary drainage bag kit, 5. remove the cover from the tubing and
connect the tubing to the end of the catheter. DSD stated the cover of the drainage bag tubing should only
be removed right before it is connected to the catheter and should not be touching the bed linens or any
items at the bedside to avoid contaminating the urinary catheter and potentially allowing bacteria or
microorganism to enter the urinary tract.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Urinary Catheters Change Indwelling Urinary Catheters
last revised 11/2012 did not indicate procedures in changing the urinary drainage bag.
