F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few attached to the catheter drainage bag, causing urine to collect approximately one third up the urinary catheter tubing. Staff D stated that if catheter tubing is kinked and urine flow is obstructed then they would reposition the tubing to allow urine to flow in the drainage bag or change the catheter tubing and drainage bag. Staff D also stated that Resident #76's catheter tubing needed to be changed due to the tubing being kinked. Staff C stated that if they discovered a resident had catheter tubing that was kinked or obstructed, then she would inform the nurse so it could be assessed. A follow up interview was conducted on 02/07/20 at 10:22 a.m. with Staff D regarding Resident #76's catheter tubing. Staff D stated that she changed Resident #76's catheter tubing and drainage bag due to the kink in the tubing. Staff D stated that Staff E did not inform her on 02/06/20 that Resident #76's catheter tubing was kinked and also stated that Staff E may have gotten busy and forgot to inform her. Staff D stated that the CNAs had been emptying Resident #76's catheter drainage bag due to increase fluids and that build up of urine in the catheter tubing could contribute to UTIs if not corrected timely. An interview was conducted on 02/07/20 at 4:48 p.m. with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) regarding care of urinary catheters and expectations of staff. The DON stated that CNAs are able to empty the catheter drainage bags as well as provide catheter care and that nurses address concerns such as blockages, leakage, or occlusions in the resident's catheter tubing. The DON also stated that if a kink in a resident's catheter tubing is found by a CNA, then it should be reported to the nurse. The DON stated that if drainage of urine is occluded by blockage or kinked tubing then it can cause risk for infection or discomfort for the resident. The DON also stated that if catheter tubing is kinked then the nurse would assess or evaluate the tubing to determine the next step and determine if the catheter tubing and bag need to be replaced. The DON stated that staff should be observing the resident's catheter tubing and bag whenever they are in the room performing care.
