Findings include: Review of the Plan of Correction submitted by the facility reads, F690 Bowel/ Bladder/ Incontinence- UTI [Urinary Tract Infection] . STEP 4: Quality monitoring of 5 residents based on current census to be completed by the DCS [Director of Clinical Services]/designee to ensure catheters are changed/flushed when indicated per physician order with documentation in the medical record 5 x weekly x 4 weeks, 3 x weekly x 4 weeks, then twice weekly and PRN [as needed] as indicated until substantial compliance is achieved. Review of the facility monitoring sheet read, Quality Assurance/Performance Improvement. Quality Review completed by [place for name] on [place for date]. Area being reviewed: F690/N201 Bowel/Bladder/Incontinence-UTI. Ongoing monitoring: Ensure catheters are changed/flushed when indicated per physician order with documentation in the medical record . Codes . (Yes)=Met (No)=Not Met (N/A) = Not applicable. Quality Indicators. Catheters are changed when indicated per physician order with documentation in the medical record.

They tell me everything is fine. Everything is not fine. We have gone over and over the education. Everyone knows they need to provide the care and it needs to be documented. I think the care was done and just not documented. Documentation was part of the in-service training along with following the doctors' orders. Review of Resident #4's TAR for April 2022 showed no records documented for Foley irrigation with 60 cc sterile water every night shift on April 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 17 and 21, no records documented for suprapubic catheter every shift related to neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder on April 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 12 and 15 for day shift and on April 3, 6, 7, 12, 13, 17 and 21 for night shift, and no records documented for catheter care every shift and as needed every 24 hours as needed for catheter care and catheter bag change for any days in April 2022.

I provided catheter care to [Resident #432's Name] on April 25th. I had a family emergency and had to leave in a hurry and left without documenting the care in the chart, but I did do the catheter care. During an interview on 4/27/2022 at 3:38 PM, Staff N, LPN, stated, [the DCS's Name] had me sign these and told me to bring them to you [signed statements related to providing catheter care to Residents #34 and #40]. I provided catheter care and monitored for patency, drainage and signs and symptoms of infection for [Names of Residents #34 and #40] on April 18th. I think this is the day it took over three hours to get into PCC [Point Click Care]. I'm an agency nurse and we only get temporary log-ins. After a certain number of days, they expire and have to be reactivated. I'm pretty sure this was the day I had to keep calling the support call center to try and get back in. I got behind in my documentation. I thought I got it all taken care of, but I guess not. During an interview on 4/27/2022 at 4:32 PM, Staff C, Registered Nurse (RN), Unit Manager, stated, I've been told I'm supposed to go through the MAR and TAR as part of my job.
