3) Ipratropium Bromide Nasal Spray 42 mcg for the treatment of allergic rhinitis was to be administered as 2
sprays twice daily (9:00 AM and 5:00 PM). It was documented on the eMAR as Not administered / Item

A review of February and March 2023 Nursing / Progress Notes showed only one note made by nursing
staff documenting steps taken to address one of the unavailable medications for Resident #72:
On 03/04/23 at 3:14 PM, Called pharmacy to inquire when Selegiline HCI would be sent out. Pharmacy
state that order was discontinued on their end and not showing up in their system. Pharmacy said
medication will have to be discontinued and then re-entered. This writer discontinued and re-entered
medication.
On 03/07/23 at 3:52 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was advised of the concerns with the unavailable
medications and lack of documentation by nursing staff addressing the medication availability.
On 03/08/23 at 11:48 AM, the DON stated she had not been made aware that Resident #72's medication
was unavailable prior to the surveyor notifying her of the issue. She stated, I immediately notified pharmacy
and the physician. I completed a Medication Error Analysis Report for each of the medications. The
Physician did discontinue the nasal spray, and I am having the nurses take the resident's vital signs daily to
make sure he has no ill effects. A review of his vitals showed there have been no issues with his blood
pressure, and the resident stated he has not had any issues with fine motor tremors as a result of the
missing medications.
On 03/08/23 at 11:50 AM, the DON notified Resident #72's ARNP (Advanced Registered Nurse
Practitioner) while the ARNP was in the facility, and the ARNP stated she would visit Resident #72 that day.
On 03/08/23 at 11:58 AM, the Administrator confirmed that according to policy, the nurses are to call the
pharmacy to find out why a resident doesn't have their medication(s) available, look for missing medications
in the E-kit, and if none of the medications are in the E-kit, notify the doctor. The DON stated, None of the
nurses followed this protocol, except for [Staff D] when he called the pharmacy on 03/04/23. He did what he
was supposed to do. I will be doing an in-service with the nursing staff on following this protocol.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review and policy review, the facility failed to ensure proper indwelling urinary
catheter care and services for 3 of 3 sampled residents, as evidenced failure to maintain Resident #81's
urinary catheter tubing and drainage bag off the floor and failure to ensure proper urinary catheter
anchoring for Residents #24, #43, and #81. All three residents had a history of Urinary Tract Infections
(UTIs).
The findings included:
Review of the policy, titled, Indwelling Urinary Catheter Insertion and Maintenance - Female Resident,
revised 10/2017, documented the process for placing the catheter followed by the instructions to keep the
collection bag below the level of the bladder at all times, but do not rest the bag on the floor. This policy
further instructed the staff to apply a catheter strap to the leg to prevent it from pulling.
The Director of Nursing (DON) was unable to locate a policy that included these directions for the male
resident but agreed it would be applicable to both.
1. Review of the record revealed Resident #81 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and moved to his
current room on 10/25/22. Review of the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE]
documented Resident #81 did have an indwelling catheter. Resident #81 had UTIs on 10/17/22 and
11/11/22 with subsequent antibiotic use.
During an observation on 03/05/23 at 12:34 PM, Resident #81 was observed lying in a low bed. An
indwelling urinary catheter bag was noted lying flat on the floor, with the wheel of an over-the-bed table on
top of the bag. Photographic Evidence Obtained.
At 12:47 PM, Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), delivered a lunch tray to Resident #81. While trying
to position the over-the-bed table within reach of the resident, the CNA moved the table off the catheter
bag, used her shoe to move the bag out of the way, and positioned the table for Resident #81. The CNA left
the room with the urinary catheter bag still lying directly on the floor. During a subsequent observation on
03/05/23 at 2:31 PM, Resident #81 was sitting up in bed. The urinary catheter bag was now hooked to the
bed frame, but the bottom of the catheter bag and part of the catheter tubing remained on the floor.
Photographic Evidence Obtained.
An observation of personal care for Resident #81 was made on 03/07/23 at 9:20 AM, with Staff A, CNA.
The urinary catheter bag and tubing were noted off the floor and positioned properly. When Staff A removed
the resident's adult brief, the catheter tubing was noted to be pulled taunt, and the tubing lacked any type of
anchoring device. After the CNA completed the care, when asked if they use any type of anchoring device
for the catheter tubing, the CNA stated yes, and that it must have fallen off.
During an observation on 03/07/23 at 1:35 PM with Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN), the urinary catheter
bag for Resident #81 was off the floor, but the catheter tubing was lying directly on the floor. The RN agreed
the bag and tubing should not be on the floor. The RN was made aware of the above observations.

An observation on 03/08/23 at 11:41 AM revealed the urinary catheter bag and tubing were again noted
lying directly on the floor. Photographic Evidence Obtained.
Review of the current care plan for the resident's indwelling catheter lacked any intervention for anchoring
or securing the tubing, which helps in the prevention of UTIs. Further review of the record revealed a
current physician order dated 10/16/22 to anchor (urinary) drainage tubing to the resident's leg.
2. Review of the record revealed Resident #24 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an indwelling
catheter, and UTI. Resident #24 had subsequent UTIs on 02/03/23 and 02/27/23, with the provision of an
antibiotic each time.
An observation on 03/07/23 at 11:29 AM revealed Resident #24 sitting up in her wheelchair, with a urinary
catheter bag noted hanging from the wheelchair frame. When asked if there was any type of anchoring or
device to secure the catheter tubing to her thigh, Resident #24 felt her thigh and stated there was nothing
there. The resident then proceeded to pull up her shorts to reveal her left thigh, the catheter tubing, and a
lack of anchoring device.
Review of the current care plans lacked any intervention for anchoring or securing the urinary catheter
tubing. Further review of the record revealed a current physician order dated 01/02/23 to anchor (urinary)
drainage tubing to the resident's leg.
During an interview on 03/08/23 at 12:39 PM, Staff C, RN, when asked about any anchoring device for
Resident #24, stated she was told to put one on the resident before she left work the previous day
(03/07/23).
3. Review of the record revealed Resident #43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an indwelling
urinary catheter. Resident #43 had a subsequent UTI on 12/31/22, with the provision of an antibiotic. A
physician's order dated 12/23/22 documented to anchor the (urinary) drainage tubing to the resident's leg.
During an observation on 03/07/23 at 11:47 AM, Resident #43 was sitting in a wheelchair and an urinary
drainage bag was noted, with no anchoring device. At 11:52 AM, Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),
was asked if the facility utilized anchoring devices for urinary catheters, and the LPN confirmed the use of
the anchors. During a subsequent observation at this time, the LPN agreed to the lack of an anchoring
device for the urinary catheter tubing of Resident #43.
