F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. 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.

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.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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.
