Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide incontinence care to a resident dependent on staff for ADLs (Activities of Daily Living).
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R4) reviewed for ADLs. The findings include: On February 29, 2024, at 11:22 AM, R4's bedding had a stain visible on the flat sheet underneath him. R4 said he had not been changed since the night before and was wet. R4 then said the staff said they could change him after lunch. R4 said the staff usually change him when they can and have the time, and he felt they probably did not have the time this morning. R4 said he was dependent on staff for everything. On February 29, 2024 at 11:41 AM, V7 (CNA) said she had not rounded on R4 because she was waiting for the wound nurse to change him. V7 said she normally changed him two times a day. V7 said she was going to clean him after she passed the lunch trays. At 12:28 PM, V7 (CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) came to R4's room to provide incontinence care. V7 turned R4 to his right side and the sheet under R4 was made visible, showing a 2.5 feet long, yellow stain behind his upper back all the way to his upper thigh. The sheets had a foul odor. R4 also had an unstageable sacral pressure injury. On February 29, 2024 and March 1, 2024 during multiple interviews, V9 (CNA), V10 (CNA), V11 (CNA) and V12 (CNA) said incontinence care should be provided every two hours or more often if needed. On March 5, 2024 at 4:11 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said staff should give incontinence care every two to three hours, especially if they are incontinent. V2 said if they are not changed frequently enough, they can develop MASD (Moistures Associated Skin Damage) which could lead to open areas and open sores. V2 said a pressure injury can worsen if the resident is kept in soiled areas. R4's face sheet showed diagnoses including need for assistance with personal care, repeated falls, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, and pressure-induced deep tissue damage of sacral region. R4's MDS (Minimum Data Sheet) dated February 15, 2024 showed R4 had moderate cognitive impairment. R4 was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene. The facility's Urinary Incontinence- Clinical Protocol policy (Revised August 2008) showed: As appropriate, based on assessment of the category and causes of incontinence, the staff will provide scheduled toileting, prompted voiding, or other interventions to try to improve the individual's
