urinalysis, culture and sensitivity previously obtained and pending. Appears patient's Foley was not
changed, ordered Foley to be changed and repeat testing to be obtained from new Foley. Per chart review,
it appears that patient had refused Foley chromophil (on multiple occasions) while at the hospital due to
inability to use PureWick. Would recommend readdressing Foley removal and initiation of voiding trial.
Patient was complaining of dysuria (painful urination), states that she is itching and burning at the site of
her Foley catheter insertion. Review previous notes, it looks like there had been an order to change Foley
but this appears not to have been done. Urinalysis obtained from old Foley and is pending at time of
assessment. Plan to change Foley today and resend urine tests.

Continued review of the urine culture lab test results resulted on 08/14/23 indicated under the antibiotic

Pneumoniae, and Enterococcus Gaecalis but no sensitivity was indicated at all for the organism
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.
Review of Resident #2's plan of care dated 08/22/23 and revised 08/27/23 revealed resident is incontinent

was not changed on 08/08/23 prior to a urine sample being collected and sent for testing as per physician
order.
Interview on 09/06/23 at 3:40 P.M. with Regional Nurse #1 confirmed the antibiotic Macrobid prescribed for
