Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to
ensure appropriate indwelling urinary catheter care was provided for Resident #18 to prevent urinary tract
infections when staff failed to appropriately clean the resident's catheter. This affected one resident (#18) of
two residents reviewed for catheters.
Findings include:
Record review for Resident #18 revealed an admission date of 04/09/21 with most recent admission of
01/31/22 with diagnoses including pneumonia, depression, dysphagia, urinary tract infection,
neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, polyneuropathy, quadriplegia, cerebral infarction due to occlusion of
cerebral artery, psychoactive substance abuse, bipolar disorder, nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage,
insomnia and chronic viral hepatitis C.
Review of a physician's order, dated 02/09/22 revealed an order for catheter care each shift related to other
neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder.
Review of the 04/09/22 annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed Resident #18 was
cognitively intact and required total dependence from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, toilet
use, bathing and personal hygiene. The resident required extensive assistance for locomotion on and off
unit. The resident used a wheelchair to aid in mobility, had an indwelling urinary catheter and was always
incontinent of bowel.
On 05/12/22 at 1:31 P.M. State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #127 was observed to empty the
resident's urinary catheter bag and stated she had completed catheter care for Resident #18. The surveyor
then asked the STNA to actually clean the resident's catheter (catheter care). STNA #127 gathered
supplies, washed her hands and applied gloves. STNA #127 had a damp washcloth with soap and water
and a washcloth with water for cleaning the catheter. The STNA cleaned the indwelling urinary catheter
from the clear tubing area down to the collection bag. STNA #127 did not remove the resident's pants and
did not clean the latex portion of the catheter where it was inserted into the resident's penis.
On 05/12/22 at 1:52 P.M. interview with STNA #127 verified she did not clean the catheter around the area
where it was inserted into the resident's penis or the tubing around the insertion area.
ON 05/12/22 at 3:19 P.M. interview with the Director of Nursing revealed the facility policy does not indicate
where to clean the catheter. The DON said her expectations would be for the catheter to be cleaned at least
three to four inches from the insertion site (penis) down the tubing.
Review of the 02/01/22 facility Catheter Care Policy and Procedure document revealed it was the policy to
provide urinary catheter care that keeps the resident free from infection and cross contamination. Clean
catheter in only one direction away from the body using a clean area of the cloth from each stroke.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interviews the facility failed to ensure dietary recommendations were implemented
and/or failed to ensure resident weights were obtained as ordered. This affected two residents (#10 and
#16) of the three residents reviewed for nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Record review for Resident #10 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had
diagnoses including altered mental status, sepsis, edema, chronic kidney disease, type two diabetes
mellitus with other specified complication and acute kidney failure.
Review of the physician's orders revealed an order, dated 03/11/22 to obtain weight every day for three
days after admission.
Review of the care plan, dated 03/15/22 revealed the resident had protein malnutrition. Interventions
included 30 milliliters (ml) of ProStat (a protein supplement) twice a day and an 1,800 ml fluid restriction.
Review of the dietary progress note, dated 03/15/22 revealed a recommendation to add 30 ml of ProStat
twice a day and implement an 1,800 ml fluid restriction due to edema.
Review of the physician's orders from 03/11/22 through 05/10/22 revealed no orders for 30 ml of ProStat
twice a day or an 1,800 ml fluid restriction.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/18/22 revealed the resident had
mildly impaired cognition evidenced by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment score of 11
out of 15. The resident was assessed to require limited assistance from one staff member for bed mobility,
extensive assistance from one staff member for transfers and limited assistance from one staff member for
eating. There was no weight or height documented in the assessment as a dash was documented where
the information was to be located.
Review of documented weights for Resident #10 revealed the resident weighed 176.6 pounds on 04/11/22.
No other weights were available for review.
On 05/10/22 at 11:51 A.M. interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified there were not any weights
available for Resident #10 except for the one documented on 04/11/22. The DON verified there was no
follow up completed for the dietary recommendations dated 03/15/22 for an 1,800 ml fluid restriction or 30
ml of ProStat twice a day.
On 05/11/22 at 10:15 A.M. interview with Registered Dietitian (RD) #800 verified the dietary
recommendations made for Resident #10 on 03/15/22 had included 30 ml of ProStat twice a day to assist
in wound healing and an 1,800 ml fluid restriction daily due to documented edema. RD #800 verified no

small amounts of air may collect in the cartridge. To avoid injecting air and to ensure proper dosing, turn the
dose selector to select two units. Hold the FlexPen with the needle pointing up. Tap the cartridge gently with
your finger a few times to make any air bubbles collect to the top of the cartridge. Keep the needle pointing
upwards, press the push button all the way in. The dose selector returns to zero. A drop of insulin should
appear at the needle tip. If not, change the needle and repeat the procedure no more than six times. If you
do not see a drop of insulin after six times, do not use the Insulin Aspart FlexPen.
