**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
resident interview, staff interview, medical team interview, medical record review, and policy review, the
facility failed to ensure residents were given the ability to be informed and make choices related to how a
laboratory sample was collected. This affected one resident (#28) of three reviewed for choice. Facility
census was 97.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for the Resident #28 revealed an admission date of 01/11/22. Diagnoses
included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory disease, pulmonary embolism, schizoaffective
disorder, weakness, pain and acute fracture of medial malleolus.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #28 was cognitively
intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 (intact cognitive response) and required
extensive assistance of one to two staff members for transfers and mobility.
Review of physician orders dated 06/30/23 to 07/07/23 revealed a Foley catheter was placed due to weight
bearing status and could be removed when weight bearing status was lifted. The Foley catheter was
removed on 07/07/23. Physician orders dated 07/26/23 to 07/27/23 revealed an order for a 10 panel urine
drug screen with note: may straight cath if needed.
Review of a progress note dated 07/26/23 revealed multiple types of medications were found in the
resident's room. The physician was notified of the controlled medications and drug paraphernalia found with
new orders to hold medications and collect a 10 panel drug screen. No progress notes were found related

was discussed with resident.
Review of drug screen dated 07/26/23 and resulted on 07/28/23 revealed resident was positive for
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Interview on 08/08/23 at 12:04 P.M. with Resident #28 revealed staff informed her they would stop her
medications until a drug screen could be completed. The resident stated she was woken up later at night by
a nurse and two aides and revealed they spread my legs open as wide as they would go and performed a
straight catheterization. The resident revealed she was not aware why they needed to perform a straight
catheterization when she typically used a bedpan to urinate. She reported it was uncomfortable and she did
not know what was going on. She also stated that staff did not ask or get permission from her prior to the
procedure. Resident #28 was able to name the aides involved but did not know the name of the nurse but
revealed she was no longer employed there.

enough reason to straight catheterize a resident, especially without consent and documentation of
reasoning. UM #176 confirmed the facility had no documentation the resident had a straight catheterization
for the specimen collection on 07/26/23.
Review of facility policy titled, Catherization, Intermittent, Female Resident, dated 10/2010, revealed the
