Residents Affected - Some
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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of four sampled residents (Resident 4) was treated with dignity and respect related to the use of an indwelling urinary catheter (a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to collect and drain urine). * The facility failed to ensure the urinary drainage bag (a medical device connected to the indwelling urinary catheter which collects and stores urine from the body) for Resident 4 was placed inside the privacy bag (a bag used to cover and hold the catheter drainage/collection bag) to provide privacy. This resulted in Resident 4's urine contents inside the urinary drainage bag visible to everyone going inside the resident's room. This failure had the potential to affect the privacy and dignity of the resident. Findings: Review of facility's P&P titled Catheter Care revised 12/19/22, showed in part, it is the policy of this facility to ensure that residents with indwelling catheters receive appropriate catheter care and maintain their dignity and privacy when indwelling catheters are in use. Catheter care will be performed every shift and as needed by nursing personnel. Privacy bags will be available and catheter drainage bags will be covered at all times while in use. According to the CDC Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections 2009, under the section Core Prevention Strategies and Proper Techniques for Urinary Catheter Maintenance, III.B.2. keep the urine collection bag below the level of the bladder at all times, do not rest the bag on the floor. On 9/16/25 at 1000 hours, an observation was conducted in Resident 4's room. Resident 4's urinary drainage bag and tubing were observed touching the floor and the drainage bag was not inside the dignity bag. On 9/16/25 at 1016 hours, an observation and concurrent interview for Resident 4 was conducted with LVN 6. LVN 6 verified the urinary drainage bag, and the tubing were touching the floor. LVN 6 stated it should not be touching the floor and should be inside a dignity bag. LVN 6 stated he will put the urinary drainage bag inside a dignity bag and will place something under the drainage bag to prevent the bag from touching the floor. Medical record review for Resident 4 was initiated on 9/10/25. Resident 4 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 4's Order Summary Report dated 9/16/25, showed an order dated 8/27/25, for Resident 4 to have an indwelling urinary catheter for obstructive uropathy (a medical condition where the normal flow of urine is blocked leading to urine backing up and potentially damaging the kidneys). On 9/16/25 at 1035 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON verified the findings and stated Resident 4 was on a low bed; however, there should be something under the drainage bag to prevent the bag from touching the floor. The DON further stated Resident 4's drainage bag will be changed and placed inside the dignity bag.
