Section GG revealed Resident #1 had impairment on one side of the lower extremity, and was dependent on toileting hygiene, shower, bathing, and lower body dressing.

In an interview with Staff A, RN when asked if Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) turn, reposition, and provide toileting care for resident's that would help them prevent urinary tract infections, responded, yes and I frequently make rounds, and make sure all my residents are cared for in those areas. When she was asked if she documents the turning, repositioning and toileting care of residents, she responded, Yes, in the progress notes. When she was asked if CNAs document the toileting, turning and repositioning of residents, responded, Yes, they document in the Point of Care (POC- an electronic system in the facility where CNAs document their tasks). When she was asked how she knows if a resident has symptoms of urinary tract infection, she responded, The resident's pee is very bad and smells funny. When asked when and where she documents her assessments, she responded, I document in the progress notes. When asked what she documents, she responded, When I suspect UTI, I call the doctor. I will report resident's symptoms such as burning sensation, and cloudy urine output. I will also collect the urine, and let the doctor know, in case he orders a urine test. She added that she also documents the UTI symptoms in the progress notes. A review of June 2025 nursing progress notes did not reveal any notes regarding urinary tract, and perineal care assessment and symptoms monitoring by Nurses for Resident #1. In an interview with Staff E, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), when asked if she documents the performed tasks in the computer, responded, Yes, I document them under the tasks section of the POC. When she was asked how often she provides perineal care to prevent UTI to her assigned residents, she responded, Yes, I do it every two hours. In a continuing interview with Staff E, CNA on 07/09/25 at 2:26 PM, when she was asked regarding female resident's peri care, responded, she would wipe from the top going down. She added she performs peri care at least every 2 hours and that I document every time I perform a resident's peri-care.
