2. On 04/03/23 at 10:07 AM, V8 and V9 (CNA) used a sit to stand mechanical lift machine to transfer R81 from the wheelchair to the recliner. As R81's mechanical lift sling was attached to the mechanical lift, V8 was holding R81's urinary catheter bag up in air at her waist level while R81 remained seated in the wheelchair. R81's urinary catheter tubing was filled with yellow urine with some sediment. V8 continued to hold R81's catheter bag and her waist level (above the level of R81's bladder) while R81 was assisted to stand with the machine and then lowered to the recliner. V8 than draped R81's catheter bag over the arm of the recliner. V9 than picked up R81's urinary catheter bag and held it up in the air (above the level of R81's bladder) while V8 went to get basin to put catheter bag in. At 10:10 AM, when V9 put R81's urinary catheter bag into a basin on the floor, there was air bubbles in tubing rising upwards as urine drained into the bag. On 04/03/23 at 11:55 AM, V6 (CNA) and V8 (CNA), assisted R81 to transfer from the recliner to the wheelchair with a sit to stand mechanical lift. R81's mechanical lift sling was attached to the lift and the lift machine would not work. V8 placed R81's urinary catheter bag on floor and went to get a new mechanical lift machine. V8 then picked up R81's urinary catheter bag and held it at her waist height. (Above the level of R81's bladder) V8 than clipped the urinary catheter bag onto the rail of the sit to stand and R81 was lifted and then lowered into his wheelchair. V8 than clipped R81's urinary catheter bag onto the bottom of R81's wheelchair. Yellow urine with some sediment was seen throughout the tubing. On 04/04/23 at 9:32 AM, V10 (Registered Nurse) stated urinary catheter bags should be below the resident's knee to allow the urine to flow by gravity. There is less chance of infection if the urine is not backing up in tubing and into the resident. R81's Care Plan dated 1/5/23 shows R81 has an indwelling urinary catheter due to obstructive uropathy with an intervention to maintain integrity of drainage system. The facility's Catheter Care Policy dated 2022 shows Ensure drainage bag is located below the level of the bladder to discourage backflow of urine.
