The Grievance Form indicated FM 1 was concerned for Resident 2 getting UTIs. The Grievance Form follow up action indicated the facility implemented intervention of checking Resident 2 once every two hours and changing Resident 2 as needed by reevaluating and restructuring the nursing assignment.During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/8/2025 at 6:19 a.m., Resident 2 was awake, alert, lying in bed, supine (on back) with the head of the bed at 45 degrees. Resident 2 stated she was changed by nursing five minutes prior (6:14 a.m.).During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/8/2025 at 8:34 a.m., Resident 2 was noted to still be lying in bed, supine with the head of the bed at 45 degrees. Resident 2 stated she had a bowel movement and needed to be changed but nobody had come to check on her yet to see if she needed to be changed.During an observation on 7/8/2025 at 8:52 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 began to change Resident 2's soiled incontinence brief. CNA 1 started by cleaning Resident 2's frontal area, using soap and water on the labia majora and inguinal folds. CNA 1 then turned Resident 2 to her right side and began to clean the bowel movement from her outer/inner buttocks and lower back. CNA 1 then removed a pair of contaminated gloves and had another pair of glove's underneath. CNA 1 then rolled/stuffed the clean incontinence brief under Resident 2 and turned her to her left side to adjust it to be aligned properly. CNA 1 then placed Resident 2 back on her back and began cleaning Resident 2's frontal area again without performing hand hygiene and wearing clean gloves. CNA 1 never cleaned inside Resident 2's labia. Resident 2 stated to CNA 1 that she had pain in her urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body), and CNA 1 began to ask questions about the pain. CNA 1 then sealed Resident 2's incontinence brief.During an interview on 7/8/2025 at 9:43 a.m., CNA 1 stated she did not know it was not ok to double glove and stated she should have cleaned Resident 2 more thoroughly since females need to be cleaned on the inside of their lady parts as well. CNA 1 stated that was how she was trained by other CNAs here at the facility.During an interview on 7/8/2025 at 1:49 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 stated Resident 2 needed to be cleaned every two hours or more as needed to prevent UTIs. LVN 1 stated Resident 2 was able to let nursing staff know when she needed to be changed but has had a UTI at least 5 times because someone is not changing her correctly and frequently enough. LVN 1 stated a lot of times she had noticed that she was soaked in the morning with enough urine to seep through the incontinence brief and believed night shift was not changing residents enough.During an interview on 7/9/2025 at 10:52 a.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated when cleaning a female resident, the CNA had to open the labia and clean the inside, and not just on the outside of the labia because it harbors bacteria. The DSD stated double gloving is not the standard of practice, and after coming into contact with feces, hand hygiene should be performed, and a new pair of gloves should be put on if further cleaning is required, such as needing to clean the frontal area again.
