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 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.
