catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, record review and policy review, the facility failed to provide straps for anchoring
catheter tubing for 3 of 3 sampled residents observed for catheter use (Resident #5, #16 and #21).
The findings included:
A review of the facility's policy titled Catheter Care which was renewed and updated on 08/03/23 revealed
leg bags will be attached to the resident's thigh or calf making sure to have slack on the tubing to minimize
pressure and tension. Ensure straps are snug but not tight.
1) Record review revealed Resident #5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses
included Neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, Metabolic encephalopathy, and Overactive bladder. Her
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 2, per the Medicare 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS)
with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 10/13/23. This indicated the resident was severely cognitively
impaired.
On 10/02/23 the resident was transferred to the hospital for urine retention and a Foley catheter was
inserted prior to the transfer. A urinary tract infection was identified in the hospital, and she was placed on
an antibiotic. She returned to the facility on [DATE] with a Foley catheter in place. A trial removal of the
Foley catheter was done on 10/17/23 but was reinserted on 10/18/23.
On 10/31/23 at 11:50 AM, catheter care was observed for Resident #5. Staff B, certified nursing assistant,
performed the care. After the care was done, Staff B proceeded to reapply the brief without providing any
type of strap or anchor for the tubing.
2) Record review revealed Resident #16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included
Neurogenic Bladder, Hemiplegia, Paraplegia, and Multiple sclerosis. Her BIMS score was 15 according to
the quarterly MDS with an ARD of 08/30/23. This indicated the resident was cognitively intact. On 10/31/23
at 1:00 PM an interview was conducted with the resident who stated she does not have a strap or anchor
on her catheter tubing.
3) Record review revealed Resident #21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included
Obstructive and Reflux Uropathy, Acute Kidney Failure, and Neurogenic Bladder.
Her BIMS score was 7, per the quarterly MDS with an ARD of 07/31/23. This indicated the resident had
severe cognitive impairment. An interview and observation of Resident #21 was conducted on 10/31/23 at

During an interview, on 11/01/23 at 10:53 AM with Staff D, RN (Registered Nurse), when asked about
Resident #39's behaviors, Staff D replied, she will cry a lot, sometimes she will try to get out of bed
unassisted, she is depressed at times and cries for her daughter. Sometimes she will refuse care and
medications at times. I have not worked with her for at least 2 months ago. When asked about the order for
Lorazepam, Staff D replied, It treats anxiety, restlessness, agitation. She does not need it today. I don't use
it until I have used all non-pharmacological interventions. She has outbursts of crying, screaming, and
agitation.
During an interview, on 11/02/23 at 7:04 AM, with Staff E, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), Staff E
confirmed the PRN order. When asked about the order, Staff E replied, it depends on her behavior. The
most I have ever used it is twice a day, as she has the psychotic behavior - sometimes she is calm and you
don't have to give her the medications, sometimes the other medications don't work for her and that is when
we use the PRN order.
During an interview, on 11/02/23 at 7:09 AM, with the DON (Director of Nursing), when the concern was
brought to his attention, the DON stated, it is really challenging for her to take oral medication and that is
sometimes the only way to give her the medications (Lorazepam gel).
