Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to perform indwelling urinary catheter care according to facility policy and failed to keep the urinary bag below the bladder and off the floor for one (R7) of two residents reviewed for indwelling catheters in a sample of 26.
Findings include: The facility's undated Catheter (Maintenance and Removal) policy documents Procedure: 2. Attach drainage bag to bed frame, below level of resident's bladder - not touching the floor. Key Points: To allow flow with gravity and to avoid backflow of urine, secure catheter to thigh/lower abdomen for men .Procedure: 7. Cleanse the meatus and adjacent catheter. (Follow 'Catheter Care' procedure.) The facility's undated Catheter Care policy documents Procedure: 4. Wash perineal area with soap and water or perineal cleanser. Begin cleansing from the cleanest area in front to the most soiled area in back .On a circumcised male resident, wash the skin folds at the top of the penis using a circular motion. Clean the meatus around the catheter first and work downward .Gently clean catheter tubing nearest the body, wiping away from where it enters the meatus. R7's current Physician Order Sheet/POS documents R7 has an indwelling urinary catheter with a diagnosis of Unspecified complication of genitourinary prosthetic device, implant, and graft. 1. On 11/01/23, at 2:05 pm, R7 was lying in bed with an indwelling urinary catheter draining into a catheter bag. V5, Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA, prepared supplies to empty R7's urinary catheter bag and perform catheter care. V5 held a graduate on the top of R7's bed and lifted the catheter bag over the graduate (above R7's bladder), and emptied the urine from the bag into the graduate. While lifted up, R7's catheter tubing was filled with cloudy urine, flowing towards R7's bladder, and was not emptied out at this time. V5 emptied the urine into the toilet, removed V5's gloves then re-applied gloves without hand sanitizing or cleansing. V5, CNA, then cleansed R7's catheter tubing with cleansing cloths from R7's penis down to the bag. No cleansing was completed of R7's penis or meatus. V5 removed V5's gloves, then with bare hands, V5 adjusted R7's bed height, finished tying the garbage trash liner, brought R7 his ice water pitcher, glass, remote, and basket of personal supplies to R7's bedside table. V5 put a new liner in the trash can. All of this was completed prior to washing hands. On 11/01/23, at 2:32 pm, V5, CNA, stated V5 should not have held the catheter bag above R7's bladder. I didn't know where to put it while you were here. I usually just hold it and I didn't want to spill it. V5 stated V5 did not use hand sanitizer after removing gloves or before putting clean ones on and should have. V5 also stated V5 did not cleanse R7's penis during the catheter and should have.
