F 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few observed to be full of urine with the fullness observed even with the athletic pants covering the incontinence brief. CNA #400 stated the night shift aide told her Resident #146 needed his incontinence brief changed. Resident #146's black athletic pants were covered in what appeared to be dried food and drink stains. CNA #400 confirmed Resident #146's pants were dirty, he did not have socks on, only one shoe, and the shoelaces were dragging on the floor. CNA #400 also confirmed Resident #146's incontinence brief was full of urine and needed changed. CNA #400 pushed Resident #146's wheelchair into the common area shower room and bathroom and attempted to stand him up and transfer him to the toilet, but Resident #146 was unable to assist with the transfer and CNA #400 left the bathroom to find another staff member to assist her. CNA #400 came back to the bathroom with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #401. LPN #401 observed Resident #146 only had one shoe on, and his bare left foot was resting on the bathroom floor, and left the bathroom to find his other shoe before providing incontinence care. LPN #401 entered the bathroom and stated she could not find Resident #146's other shoe, but brought non-skid socks and put them on Resident #146's feet. LPN #401 and CNA #400 transferred Resident #146 to the toilet with great difficulty. Resident #146 was unable to use his legs to assist with the transfer and CNA #400 and LPN #401 had great difficulty transferring him to the toilet. Resident #146's pants were removed and CNA #400 identified and confirmed the entire back of his pants was soaked with urine, and the incontinence brief was soaked with urine. CNA #400 and LPN #401 assisted Resident #146 to stand up and CNA #400 provided incontinence care. CNA #400 washed Resident #146's buttocks and anal area using a wash cloth and when she was finished with the buttocks and anal area she folded the wash cloth and used the same wash cloth to cleanse Resident #146's perineal area. After folding the wash cloth CNA #400 proceeded to wash Resident #146's perineal area, and cleaned Resident #146's penis last with the soiled wash cloth used for the buttock and anal area. CNA #400 picked up a towel, wet one end of the towel with water, and used the end of the towel to rinse Resident #146's buttocks, penis and perineal area and used the dry end to dry his buttocks, penis and perineal area. CNA #400 confirmed she used the same wash cloth and washed Resident #146's buttocks and anal area before she cleaned his perineal area and penis. CNA #400 stated she only had one wash cloth, and she should have washed his perineal area and penis before washing Resident #146's buttocks and anal area. After finishing Resident #146's incontinence care, CNA #400 and LPN #401 assisted Resident #146 back to the wheelchair without wiping the urine off the wheelchair seat cushion with disinfectant cloths. CNA #400 and LPN #401 confirmed the cushion was not wiped with disinfectant cloths and it should have been. CNA #400 and LPN #401 were assisting Resident #146 out of the bathroom and when asked if they helped Resident #146 wash his hands after sitting on the toilet and receiving incontinence care they confirmed they did not help him wash his hands and pushed him back to the sink and assisted him to wash his hands. Further observation revealed Resident #146's fingernails were about a half inch long. LPN #401 confirmed the length of Resident #146's fingernails and stated they should have been trimmed on his shower day. CNA #400 and LPN #401 confirmed they had a difficult time transferring Resident #146 on and off the toilet and CNA #400 stated Resident #146 might need a sit-to-stand or mechanical lift.

LPN #403 stated she did not know before now Resident #146 was on the bowel protocol because she had not looked at residents' on the bowel protocol since she arrived for work at 7:00 A.M. LPN #403 indicated a resident popped up on the clinical alert area on the dashboard of the electronic record when they did not have a bowel movement for three days (six shifts).

UM #404 confirmed Resident #146 did not have a documented bowel movement for five days. Review of the facility undated policy titled Bowel Protocol revealed nursing staff should maintain a record of bowel evacuation on each resident in POC (electronic record). A bowel elimination protocol was initiated by nursing staff when the resident had no recorded results after six shifts, or per resident's pattern. When the BM record shows no bowel elimination by the third day or six shifts, the 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. charge nurse initiated the bowel protocol unless contraindicated by resident condition or physician (or the resident had existing orders for constipation); the first step was on the third day or after six shifts, the charge nurse gave resident 30 cubic centimeters (cc's) of Milk of Magnesia in the morning; the second step was if the Milk of Magnesia was ineffective, the second shift nurse may administer Dulcolax Suppository 10 mg rectally, consult with physician or the Nurse Practitioner for Dulcolax tablets; if there were no results from the suppository or oral tablets a Fleets type enema (sodium phosphate) was administered by the nurse; bowel routine may be started at any time, but preferable in the morning. Bowel routine may be recorded on the 24 hour report, clinical record, and verbally communicated to oncoming shifts, in report. Note bowel sounds, pain, tenderness, and firmness of the abdomen. Notify physician if bowel routine was ineffective. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00159838. This deficiency is also an example of continued non-compliance from the survey dated 11/08/24.
