**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a Midline Intravenous (IV) dressing
care was completed as per professional standards for 1 of 1 resident of a total sample of 4 residents,
(#1).Resident #1, an [AGE] year-old female was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses
included abscess left great toe, cerebral infarction (stroke), type 2 diabetes, heart failure, peripheral
vascular disease, elevated white blood cell count and lymphedema. A Midline Catheter is a thin, flexible
tube placed into a vein in the arm. The catheter is 8-10 centimeters long and can stay in the arm for up to
29 days. This allows patients to get IV (intravenous) medicines and have blood samples drawn. The
catheter is placed by a trained nurse. (retrieved on 10/4/25 at 3:57 PM from
https://patient.uwhealth.org/healthfacts).On 9/30/25 at 12:30 PM, resident #1 was observed lying in recliner
type chair in her room. The 200 Unit Manager was observed doing wound care to the resident #1's left
great toe which was swollen and red. The Unit Manager acknowledged that resident #1 had transparent
dressing on her right upper arm midline IV site dated 9/26/25. She acknowledged the IV dressing was dirty,
half off and gauze was covering the insertion site. The nurse explained the resident had been getting
antibiotics in her IV for foot wound infection and the physician wanted to keep the IV in place should she
need more IV antibiotics. The Unit Manager said because there was gauze present covering the IV the
dressing should have been changed on 9/28/25. The nurse added that even if there are no orders it is
standard of nursing practice to change IV dressing every 7 days when clear dressing present and every 2
days when gauze is used. Current nursing orders for resident #1's midline IV were dated 9/22/25: flush with
normal saline every shift, measure right arm circumference and external catheter length on admission and
with each dressing change, evaluate right forearm IV site for leakage/bleeding /signs of infection every shift.
Resident #1 received IV Zosyn every 6 hours for 7 days starting on 9/18/25. The resident had care plan in
effect last updated on 9/22/25 for IV medication related to left great toe abscess with goal that she will not
have any complications related to her IV therapy. Review of the medication administration record revealed
that although the nurses were flushing the midline IV twice daily with saline, they failed to notice the
dressing needed to be changed 5 times between 9/28/25 to 9/30/25. On 9/30/25 at 12:57 PM, the Regional
Registered Nurse (RN) said they teach the nurses who take the IV course that when gauze is present to
change the IV dressing every 48 hours and it is preferred, they place a clear transparent dressing instead
to allow for visualization of the IV insertion site. Review of the facility Catheter Insertion and Care policy
revised 1/17/19 read, Midline catheter dressings will be changed at specified intervals, or when needed, to
prevent catheter-related infections associated with contaminated, loosened or soiled catheter -site
dressings. General Guidelines 1. Change midline catheter dressing 24 hours after catheter insertion, every
5-7 days, or if it is wet, dirty, not intact, or compromised in anyway. The facility workbook provided to the
nurses for IV training on page 60 gave instructions Change dressing weekly or per
