intact as per MDS dated [DATE]. Record review of the MDS assessment indicates that R5 depends on
two-person physical assistance for toilet use.
On 5/20/23 at 9:35 AM, R5 stated, I am wet; they don't like to be called. I was changed at 6:00 AM by night
shift staff. On 5/20/23 at 9:35 AM, V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse - LPN) checked R5 for incontinence, and
R5 was observed with a urine-soaked incontinent brief.
On 5/20/23 at 11:30 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing - DON) stated, As per our incontinent care policy, the staff
are supposed to give incontinent care every two hours and as needed. Noncompliance with the incontinent
care policy can cause UTI. I will tell my staff to check R1 more frequently as she urinates frequently and
has a history of UTI.
The facility presented incontinence and perineal care policy revised on 7/28/22 documents: Do rounds at
least every 2 hours to check for incontinence during shift.
