symptoms, presence of urogenital implants and other diseases of spleen.
Review of the resident admit/readmit screener dated 06/02/25 revealed the resident had no cognitive
deficit. The assessment indicated the resident was admitted to the facility with an indwelling urinary
catheter.
Review of the resident's monthly physician orders for June 2025 identified orders dated 06/02/25 change
Foley catheter size 15 FR with 10 milliliter (ml) balloon as needed for clogged or dislodged, Foley catheter
care every shift, urinary drainage bag to have a cover over it every shift, monitor urinary output every shift,
Foley catheter to straight drain, check every shift, change urinary drainage bag every two week and as
needed, may use leg bag when out of bed, Foley leg strap to secure tubing and monitor skin at strap
location every shift, empty indwelling catheter collection bag every eight hours.
On 06/04/25 at 10:52 A.M., an observation of Resident #29 revealed the resident's indwelling urinary
catheter catheter collection bag was visible from the hallway with clear yellow urine visible. Further review
revealed no evidence the resident had a privacy bag for the indwelling urinary catheter collection bag in his

The treatment was changed to cleanse the wound apply Mesalt and cover with gauze island with border
dressing daily and as needed if saturated, soiled or dislodged at this time.
Weekly wound physician assessments were completed on 04/23/25 (1.4 cm by 0.2 cm and described as

admission and readmission using the Braden Scale. Re-assessment would be done quarterly or whenever
the resident shows evidence of significant clinical change or development of an ulcer. The skin team would
assess, measure and document all pressure ulcers. A signed physician's order regarding wound treatment
must be kept on the resident's chart. The order must be specific and if applicable the order should also
have a stop date. The wound nurse/designee would be responsible for the initial assessment of any wound
using the Skin and Wound Evaluation form. The physician/nurse practitioner (NP), family, wound care nurse
would be notified of new areas. Initial documentation would include specific description of the wound and
