Infection Preventionist stated Residents with open wounds, foleys, Intravenous lines (IV) such as midlines
and PICC line. When asked why Resident #3 was not on EBP , the Infection Preventionist stated the
resident should be on EBP due to the wound and PICC line. She confirmed that it had been her error and
thought there was an order.
During an interview on 04/23/25 at 1:16 PM, when asked if she was providing care to Resident #3 earlier
while in the room, the Wound Care nurse replied No I was just talking to her, she feels comfortable with me.
When asked if she knew why the Resident was not on EBP, the Wound Care Nurse stated she didn't know
why and thought she was on it.
During an interview on 04/23/25 at 1:31 PM the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was made aware of
Infection control concerns regarding Resident #3, and the ADON acknowledged with the findings.
2) Review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention article titled Summary of Recommendations
published 03/25/24 documented, III. Proper Techniques for Urinary Catheter Maintenance . III.B.2. Do not
rest bag on the floor.
Review of the record revealed Resident #1 was last admitted to the facility 08/26/24.Review of the current
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #1 had a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 11, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating the resident had moderate cognitive
impairment.
Review of the active orders revealed Resident #1 currently had a suprapubic catheter (a urinary catheter
inserted directly into the bladder through a small incision in the lower abdomen, rather than through the
urethra.)
Review of the Wound PCR Panel revealed that Resident #1 had a positive wound result reported on
03/14/25 to his suprapubic catheter site with suggested treatments. Further review of his record revealed he
was treated for this infection with antibiotics.
During an observation on 04/23/25 at 9:30 AM, Resident #1's urinary drainage bag was seen resting on the
floor. Photographic evidence obtained.
During a follow-up observation on 04/23/25 at 12:09 PM, Resident #1's representative was at the bedside
feeding the resident. When asked how care was, the representative stated that Resident #1 has had a lot of
urinary tract issues lately. When the urinary drainage bag was observed again, it was still resting on the
floor.
During an interview on 04/23/25 at 12:29 PM, when asked, Upon conducting an initial observation and
assessment on a resident who has a urinary catheter, what do you not want to see? The infection
preventionist replied I don't want to see a catheter bag on the floor or a catheter above the bladder because
that can lead to infection, those two things are very important. When the infection preventionist was shown
a picture of Resident #1's catheter bag resting on the floor, she stated she would have to check the policy
to see if that was acceptable as it was in a dignity bag. No policy was provided to the surveyor justifying the
infection preventionist's comment.
During an interview on 04/23/25 at 1:31 PM with the ADON, when made aware of the concerns regarding
Resident #1's catheter, the ADON stated it was hard to keep it off the ground due to the bed being in the
lowest position. The ADON was made aware two other catheter bags were also observed with the
