Provide appropriate colostomy, urostomy, or ileostomy care/services for a resident who requires such

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure colostomy care and services
were in place for Resident #99. This affected one (Resident #99) of three residents reviewed for changes in
condition. The facility identified no current residents with a colostomy and/or ileostomy. The facility census
was 86.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #99 revealed an initial admission date of 08/31/23. Resident #99
was hospitalized from [DATE] until he readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident discharged to the
hospital on [DATE] and did not return to the facility. Diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis
following cerebral infarction (stroke) affecting the left non-dominant side and gastrostomy status.
Review of Resident #99's care plan, initiated 08/31/23 and revised on 10/29/23, revealed the resident had
an alteration in gastrointestinal status with an ostomy in place. The care plan stated to provide ostomy care
as ordered.
Review of the hospital records preceding Resident #99's re-admission to the facility, dated 12/02/23,
revealed Resident #99 had a colostomy (a surgically created opening for bowel elimination) in place.
Review of the nursing admission assessment, dated 12/02/23 revealed Resident #99 returned from a
hospitalization on 12/02/23. The admission assessment did not indicate that Resident #99 had a colostomy.
Review of Resident #99's physician orders from 12/02/23 to 01/14/24 revealed the resident had no orders
for colostomy appliance changes, colostomy site care, or monitoring for complications at any point while a
resident of the facility.
Review of Resident #99's interdisciplinary progress notes from 12/02/23 to 01/14/24 revealed there was no
mention of Resident #99 having a colostomy or having received any colostomy care or monitoring.
An interview on 03/04/24 at 8:11 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified there were no residents in
the facility with a colostomy. The DON stated the standard of care for residents with a colostomy is to
ensure they have orders for colostomy site care and appliance changes every three days

and as needed in case the colostomy appliance would become loose. The DON stated the order should be
in place, and the order should then populate onto the treatment administration record for the nurses to sign
off that the care was completed.
A follow up interview on 03/04/24 at 10:24 A.M. with the DON verified Resident #99 had no orders for any
type of colostomy care, appliance changes, or site monitoring from his initial admission date of 08/31/23
until he was discharged to the hospital on [DATE]. The DON verified she could find no documentation that
colostomy site care or monitoring was performed. The DON stated the colostomy care, appliance changes,
and site monitoring orders should have been in place upon admission.
An interview on 03/04/24 at 11:53 A.M. with Agency Registered Nurse (Agency RN) #500 revealed she
worked at the facility consistently and was familiar with Resident #99. Agency RN #500 verified Resident
#99 actually had two colostomy sites to his abdomen, and she would routinely perform care for him. Agency
RN #500 verified she likely did not document the colostomy care and monitoring she had performed.
Agency RN #500 verified she did Resident #99's last re-admission assessment from 12/02/23 and stated
Resident #99 had both colostomies since his original admission, and the colostomies should have been
marked on the admission assessment.
An interview on 03/04/24 at 11:59 A.M. with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #510 revealed she worked
consistently with Resident #99 and recalled him having two colostomies. She would empty the colostomy
bags and record the bowel output into the resident's electronic medical record. STNA #510 was unsure if
the bowel output specified it came from a colostomy or not. STNA #510 stated many staff members of the
facility did not document, or did not document accurately.
Review of the facility's Colostomy/Ileostomy Care policy, revised October 2010, revealed the purpose of the
procedure is to provide guidelines that will aid in preventing exposure of the resident's skin to fecal matter.
The policy outlined the steps to take to change the appliance and then referenced documentation should be
completed. The documentation should include the date and time the colostomy/ileostomy care was
provided, the name and title of the individual who were performing the care, any breaks in the skin or signs
of infection, how the resident tolerated the procedure, if the resident refused the reason why and
intervention taken and the signature and title of the person recording the data. The policy stated staff
should report other information in accordance with facility policy and professional standards of practice.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00150826.
