Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of six residents (Resident 1) with an indwelling catheter (catheter; a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine) received catheter care and services when:1. Resident 1's suprapubic catheter (a temporary or permanent drainage route for urine, through a small incision in the abdominal wall, from the bladder directly into a collection bag) was not changed as ordered by the physician;2. Resident 1's suprapubic catheter was not consistently monitored following suprapubic catheter changes; and3. Care plans (a personalized, written document that details a resident's specific health and personal care needs, goals, and interventions) were not in place for Resident 1's catheter changes and Resident 1's urinary tract infection (UTI - A condition in which bacteria invade and grow in the urinary tract) in June of 2025.These failures could have been the cause of Resident 1's UTI and 10 out of 10 pain, (pain scale of 1 through10; with 10 being the worst pain) which resulted in Resident 1 being transferred to the emergency room for an evaluation.1. During a review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, admission RECORD, (contains Resident 1's clinical and demographic data) indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included obstructive and reflux uropathy (a condition where the urinary tract becomes blocked and prevents the normal flow of urine). A review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, Order Summary Report, dated 4/17/25, indicated, .

The DON confirmed Resident 1's suprapubic catheter changes were done every other month, not monthly as ordered. The DON explained the importance of completing the suprapubic catheter change was to ensure the physician orders were carried out. The DON further stated there was a risk for Resident 1 to acquire an infection and experience pain. A review of the facility policy titled, Physician's Orders, revised 7/12, indicated, . Physician's orders shall be carried out as prescribed . 2.

The DON confirmed Resident 1's suprapubic catheter monitoring were not consistently completed for the 72-hour duration as required on the above dates and shifts. The DON stated monitoring the suprapubic catheter for 72 hours after it was changed was to ensure if there was a change in Resident 1's condition, nursing could coordinate with the physician in case there were additional changes or orders that needed to be carried out. The DON further stated there was a risk for Resident 1 to acquire an infection and was at risk for pain. A review of the facility policy titled, Change of Condition, revised 7/24, indicated, .

The DON further stated there was not a care plan in place for catheter changes and there should have been. The DON stated the importance of having the care plans in place was to ensure licensed nurses had a guide on how to take care of the Resident 1's suprapubic catheter.

A care plan is the summation of the resident concerns, goals, approaches and interventions in order to meet the goals and help minimize if not totally eradicate residents' problems . the evidence of a care plan that has been reviewed should include but not be limited to the new interventions that have been added in addition to the current ones .
