Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to prevent a resident from developing a catheter associated
urinary tract infection (UTI) which required transfer to a local hospital for treatment. This failure affected one
(R5) of three residents reviewed for incontinence care.
Findings include:
R5 is a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted on [DATE] with medical diagnosis that include and are not
limited to: hypospadias, diabetes and neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder. According to Minimum Data
Set, dated : 7-16-2024(MDS) indicates a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3/15 suggests
severe cognitive impairment. R5 is dependent on two staff members for toileting, hygiene, and showers.
On 8-17-2024 at 9:50am R5 was observed to be in bed, sitting up eating breakfast. R5 said, I am ok, no
concerns voiced. V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing) in the room, uncover R5 lower part of his body, noted to
have bilateral lower extremities contracted, it's very difficult to clean R5's urinary catheter because the way
his legs are contracted. R5 said, it hurts when they open my legs, I do not like it.
On 8-17-2024 at 12:30pm V11 (C.N.A) said, I am regular on the 2nd floor, R5 was in my assignment for
7-6-2024 both 11-7 and 7-3 shifts. During 11-7 R5 did not call me at all, R5 slept all night. On the 7-3 shift I
changed R5 a few times and empty the urinary catheter bag, the urine was dark cloudy brown. I set up his
breakfast tray but R5 did not eat anything, the same thing happened for lunch R5 did not eat any lunch, he
was sleeping, and he was snoring very hard, breathing fast and not easily to aroused. R5 was completely
different, I did not see anything maggots in R5's urinary catheter, R5 is contracted of both lower extremities,
and it can be difficult to clean his urinary catheter, but I always clean the urinary catheter very well. I
reported to the nurse that R5 did not looked normal on that day. I went home and R5 was still in the facility.
The next day, R5 was not in his room, I was told R5 was in the hospital.
On 8-17-2024 at 12:05pm V10 (Licensed Practical Nurse) said, On 7-6-2024 I worked 7-3 shift I do
remember transferring R5 to the hospital R5 was very unresponsive he appeared altered, very slow to
respond, looked different not normal, he was very lethargic and he was making loud noises: snoring noises,
he was not responsive to painful, verbal or tactile stimuli. I call the nurse practitioner and received an order
to send to the hospital, I call the ambulance and they told me 60-90 min. I did not think that R5 needed to
go 911. V11 (C.N.A) told me the urinary catheter was empty, I did not see any urine output, I do not
remember V11 telling me anything about the urine output, I saw the bag it

was empty, I do not remember checking the tubing, I gave report to 3-11 nurse, I think it was an agency
nurse and left for the day. My expectation regarding the urinary catheter care, is for the C.N.A to make sure
to clean the tubing, check to see if is intact, and draining well. We do not document the urinary catheter
care, we only document the reason for the urinary catheter catheter replacement and the urine the output, I
do not remember why on 7-6-2024 I did not have any output documented.
Residents Affected - Few
Per local hospital documentation dated 7-7-2024 V13 (MD/Infectious Disease) documents: proteus
bacteremia (2/2) secondary to (GU) genitourinary source, acute complicated (UTI) urinary tract infection in
the setting of chronic urinary catheter. urinary catheter with ross pyuria (pus in the urine), also noted to
have maggots in urinary catheter. (R5) presented to the emergency room with alter mental status and gross
pus in urinary catheter, R5 is very disheveled with urine odor and unable to provide any history.
On 8-17-2024 at 12:40PM V13 (MD/Infectious Disease) said, while R5 was in the emergency room R5's
urinary catheter was noted to have maggots, the urinary catheter was immediately replaced in the
emergency Room. We do not expect to see maggots in any urinary catheter, the maggots are caused by
poor hygiene, by not receiving the proper care. Observing maggots in an indwelling catheter is very
unexpected. R5 admitting diagnosis was sepsis, bacteremia secondary to urinary source and urinary tract
infection.
On 8-17-2024 at 2:20pm V14 (Medical Doctor/Medical Director) said, I know the patient, I saw R5 in the
facility and in the hospital as well. I am looking at the computer because I do not want to say the wrong
thing.
R5 went to the hospital on 7-6-2024, and was admitted to the local hospital with Bacteremia, sepsis and
pneumonia, the Maggots were identified in the emergency room in the urinary catheter when they removed
it and replaced it. Maggots come based on the daily care R5 is receiving. It reflects that the catheter site is
not being clean, is not being taking care properly, in summer it can take up to 24 hours for a fly's egg to
hatch. The urinary catheter must be clean daily.
On 8-17-2024 at 2:00pm V2 (Nurse Consultant) said, We do not document the urinary catheter care,
urinary catheter care is part of the daily care and routine, we document if we have to irrigate, if we have to
replace the urinary catheter, the intake and output. Is not normal to have maggots in the urinary catheter
catheter. V2 presented R5's progress note dated: 6-7-2024 14:26 that reads: replaced (R5) urinary catheter,
oral fluids encourage will endorse to on incoming nurse. V2 said I do not know why the nurse replaced the
indwelling catheter and did not document the reason for the replacement, my expectation is to have a
reason for the replacement, that was the last time it was replaced before R5 went to the hospital on
7-6-2024.
On 8-17-2024 at 3:00PM V3 said, urinary catheter care is done every shift but we do not document
because is the standard of care when we provide incontinence care we are to check the urinary catheter, if
the C.N.A. sees anything abnormal my expectation is for them to report to the nurse and the nurse needs to
intervene immediately. We need to make sure to check the urinary catheter after each incontinent episode.
The C.N.A needs to clean the tubing, make sure the bag is clean and properly placed, the proper peri care
is rendered. The nurse will document if the urinary catheter is not draining properly, urine is not yellow, if the
urine has blood, if the urine has a foul odor, if the patient complaints of any pain if the tubing has any
sediments or if the urine is milky/ cloudy. My expectation is that nurse documents the output from the
urinary catheter every shift, also if the nurse replaces the urinary catheter they need to document the
reason for the replacement and the outcome.

opportunity to receive annual dental exams as well as routine monitoring to identify any changes in dental

by the facility. R1's primary payor source is Medicaid.
R4 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of R4's medical record does not have any documented dental visits while in the facility nor was
there any documentation to show that R4 declined to have any dental services provided by the facility. R4's
primary payor source is Medicaid.

dental visits for the above sampled residents, and none were provided.
08/17/24 at 3:19PM V3 (ADON) said that the dentist sees the residents upon admission and as requested.
When asked how often residents are seen by the dentist, V3 said, I'm not 100% sure; it depends on their
insurance.
08/17/24 at 3:54PM V4 (Social Worker) said, there is an in-house dentist that comes in twice a month and
as needed. Some people have outside dentist that they use, and we set up transport as needed

for those visits. I have not run in to this issue with payor sources. We set it up if they need it. If a referral is
received or the resident or family requests it, then we set them up to see the dentist. If there is a care plan
meeting, then we do talk about the services that we provide here. Upon admission, I just make them aware
that they can request a dental visit if they want. I don't know if it makes a difference on the payor source. It
doesn't usually go in the care plan.
