Based on observation, record review, and interview the facility failed to cover an indwelling urinary catheter
drainage bag. This affected one resident (Resident #276) out of two residents reviewed for indwelling
urinary catheters. The facility census was 75.
Findings Include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #276 revealed an admission date 10/03/24 with diagnoses
including history of falls, history of urinary tract infection (UTI), chronic kidney disease, and type two
diabetes mellitus. Resident #276 required assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL) tasks,
used a front wheeled walker for ambulation assistance, and was receiving physical and occupational
therapy services.
Review of Resident #276 physician orders revealed an order dated 10/03/24 for foley catheter bag cover
every shift, an order dated 10/04/24 for privacy cover to foley catheter drainage bag every shift for
maintaining dignity, and an order dated 10/03/24 for foley catheter care every shift.
Review of Resident #276 baseline care plan dated 10/03/24 revealed Resident #276 was admitted with an
indwelling urinary catheter.
Observation on 10/07/24 at 1:05 P.M. revealed Resident #276 resting in bed watching television, a partially
filled urinary catheter drainage bag was hanging from the bed frame without privacy cover or bag in place.
Observation on 10/08/24 at 3:14 P.M. revealed Resident #276 sitting at edge of bed watching television, a
urinary catheter drainage bag was hanging from the bed frame without privacy cover or bag in place.
Interview on 10/08/24 at 3:14 P.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNAs) #527 and #543 confirmed
Resident #276 indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag was uncovered and visible from the room's
doorway. STNA #527 stated there should be a privacy bag or a drainage bag with an attached cover over
the drainage bag and the lack of the privacy bag would be resolved by placing a privacy bag on Resident
#276's indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag.
Observation on 10/10/24 at 8:16 A.M. revealed Resident #276 sleeping in bed with the lights turned off. An
empty urinary catheter drainage bag was hanging from the bed frame without privacy cover or bag in place.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, policy review, medical record review and interview, the facility failed to implement isolation
protocols and failed to maintain infection control during tracheostomy care and blood glucose monitoring.
This had the potential to affect all 75 residents in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #178's medical record revealed diagnoses including history of malignant neoplasm of
the breast and intestine and dyspnea. On 09/28/24, Resident #178 tested positive for COVID-19 and was
placed in droplet isolation. The isolation was to be discontinued 10/09/24.
On 10/07/24 at 12:47 P.M., Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) #820 was observed opening
Resident #178's door to exit into the corridor. The N95 mask she was wearing in Resident #178's room
remained on. After opening the door, COTA #820 removed the N95. Without performing hand hygiene,
COTA #820 reached around the door and into the isolation cart to obtain a new N95 mask and held it over
her face. COTA #820 pushed the goggles she had been wearing onto the top of her head and walked down
the hall without disinfecting the goggles or performing hand hygiene. COTA #820 stopped at room [ROOM
NUMBER] and got a surgical mask from Resident #177's isolation cart. Resident #177 had orders for
enhanced barrier precautions due to presence of a feeding tube. COTA #820 continued down the hall
without performing hand hygiene or disinfecting the goggles or the drawers of Resident #177's or Resident
#178's isolation carts.
On 10/08/24 at 1:35 P.M., as State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #520 was being interviewed regarding
the location of surgical masks as there were none in Resident #178's isolation cart and it was what the
facility required to be worn outside the COVID isolation rooms. STNA #520 provided a box of surgical
masks. Housekeeper #701, who was in the hallway and overheard the conversation, inquired of STNA #520
if she was supposed to change masks when going in and out of the droplet isolation rooms. STNA #520
responded it was required to prevent spreading COVID.
Upon entering Resident #178's room on 10/08/24 after the interview, it was noted the isolation barrel by the
door and the trash can by the sink in the room were overflowing with trash. Disposable gowns were noted
flowing down the sides of both receptacles.
On 10/08/24 at 1:40 P.M., Housekeeper #701 stated it was up to the nursing assistants to dispose of trash
in the isolation rooms.
On 10/08/24 at 2:48 P.M., STNA #520 verified Housekeeper #701 was unaware of the need to change
masks when going in and out of droplet isolation rooms when she made the inquiry earlier that day. STNA
#520 reported it was the responsibility of housekeeping to empty the isolation barrels and trash.
On 10/08/24 at 2:48 P.M., STNA #520 was observed leaving Resident #178's (who was positive and in
isolation for COVID-19) room. STNA #520 walked up the hall and got hand sanitizer from on top of a locked
box by room [ROOM NUMBER]. No eye protection was observed being worn. STNA #520 indicated she did
not know eye protection was required.
On 10/08/24 at 3:05 P.M., Housekeeping Director #903 stated it was the responsibility of the housekeeping
department to empty isolation trash and verified staff needed to change masks when

On 10/08/24 at 3:15 P.M., COTA #820 verified she had left Resident #178's room on 10/07/24 and verified
hand hygiene was not completed after removing the old N95 because there was no hand sanitizer. COTA
#820 verified the goggles had been pushed up to the top of her head without disinfecting until she returned
to therapy where she had disinfectant wipes because there were none available in the cart.
Residents Affected - Many
On 10/08/24 at 3:48 P.M., Unit Manager (UM) #915 stated hand sanitizer should be available in the isolation
carts. Disinfectant wipes were not kept in the isolation carts so they could be used when staff exited the
room. Staff had to request the disinfectant wipes from the nurse.
2. Review of Resident #2's medical record revealed diagnoses including acute and chronic respiratory
failure and tracheostomy status. On 10/07/24 an order was written for contact isolation for
extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in the sputum.
On 10/09/24 at 12:05 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #308 was observed preparing medication for
administration to Resident #2. Signs were posted for contact precautions and enhanced barrier
precautions. Housekeeper #701 was in Resident #2's room cleaning. The only personal protective
equipment (PPE) worn was a pair of gloves.
On 10/09/24 at 1 P.M. Housekeeper #701 verified she had not worn a gown into Resident #2's room.
Housekeeper #701 stated nobody informed her Resident #2 had been added to contact isolation.
Review of the facility's policy titled Isolation Categories of Transmission-Based Precautions (revised
January 2012) revealed transmission-based precautions would be used whenever measures more stringent
than standard precautions were needed to prevent or control the spread of infection. For residents on
contact precautions, a disposable gown should be worn upon entering the room or cubicle in addition to
gloves.

3. Observation on 10/09/24 at 9:55 A.M. revealed Respiratory Technician (RT) #407 conducting
tracheostomy care for Resident #57. RT #407 donned Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE), including
gloves, and entered Resident #57's room where Resident #57 was laying in bed covered with bed linens
and a blanket. RT #407 placed the tracheostomy cleaning package, several packages of gauze sheets, the
replacement inner cannula, a split gauze to cover the tracheostomy insertion site, and normal saline for
cleaning the tracheostomy insertion site on the blanket at the foot of Resident #57's bed on top of Resident
#57's legs. RT#407 opened the tracheostomy cleaning tray removing the sterile gloves package and placing
the package on the blanket, there had been no sterile barrier sheet to place under the sterile gloves
package. RT #407 donned the sterile gloves over the existing gloves which were already in place, removed
the used inner cannula and placed the cannula on the packaging for the sterile gloves. RT #407 then
placed the new inner cannula into the tracheostomy tube, retrieved the used inner cannula from the opened
