Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, observation, staff interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure the treatment of a suprapubic catheter was provided per physician order and failed to ensure the documentation of urine output was completed per physician order. This affected two (#20 and #22) of two residents reviewed for urinary catheters. The facility census was 37.
Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #22 revealed an admission date of 10/10/17. Diagnoses included neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and dementia. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #22 was moderately cognitively impaired, required substantial assistance from staff with toileting, had an indwelling catheter, and had occasional bowel incontinence. Review of the care plan revised on 03/08/24 revealed Resident #22 required a suprapubic catheter related to urinary retention and a history of meatus erosion. Interventions included for Resident #22 to wear clothing which does not constrict the catheter, avoid obstructions in drainage, position the drainage bag below the bladder, keep system closed as much as possible, catheter care each shift, documentation of output every shift and minimize manipulation of the tubing with catheter care. An additional care plan for Resident #22 included enhanced barrier precautions due to multiple drug resistant organism, interventions included gowns and gloves to be worn during high contact resident care activities including bathing, showering, providing hygiene, changing linens, toilet hygiene and urinary catheter care. Review of the current physician orders in place for Resident #22 revealed orders dated 03/14/24 for the nurse to complete suprapubic catheter care every shift with catheter site cleansed with soap and water, bacitracin ointment applied around catheter insertion site and covered with split gauze while wearing required personal protective equipment and for a graduated cylinder used for urine collection for suprapubic catheter to be changed each week. Observation of suprapubic catheter care on 04/29/24 at 8:12 A.M. by Registered Nurse (RN) #75 revealed hand hygiene completed prior to care, gloves donned, moistened two washcloths with water, both cloths were rung out, soap was applied to one of the washcloths, both washcloths were then placed on top of a towel sitting on the counter of the sink. RN #75 approached Resident #22 who was lying in bed, elevated the height of the bed, removed the covers, lower the pant waist band, and proceeded using the soap covered washcloth, cleansed around the suprapubic insertion site, using a different

Observation of the insertion site revealed slight redness and a bump on the bottom left of the catheter. Interview with RN #75 stated the catheter site actually looked good in comparison to what it used to look like. Following care, RN #75 pulled up Resident #22's pants, ensured the catheter was not kinked and extended freely down the leg of right leg Resident #22. RN #75 washed hands and exited room. Follow up interview on 04/29/24 at 10:55 A.M. with RN #75 verified no split gauze was in place prior to catheter care and no bacitracin ointment or split gauze was applied during catheter care as physician ordered for Resident #22. RN #75 stated Resident #22 no longer required the bacitracin and split gauze treatment. Interview on 04/29/24 at 12:30 P.M. with Unit Manager #76 verified Resident #22 did have a current order for suprapubic catheter care once a shift to include cleansing, the application of bacitracin and a splint gauze and further verified the treatment order was being documented as completed. 2. Review of Resident #20's medical record revealed Resident #20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included dementia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

STNA #77 used soap and water and a washcloth and cleansed the perineal area wiping front to back and away from the catheter insertion site and then down the catheter tubing. Using a second clean washcloth with water, the perineal area was rinsed wiping from front to back and then down the catheter tubing. The perineal area was then dried. Interview with STNA #77 on 04/29/24 at 8:20 A.M. verified gloves were the only the personal protective equipment worn during catheter care for Resident #20. Interview on 04/29/24 at 10:55 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) verified the personal protective equipment needed for catheter care included gloves and gown. Review of the facility policy titled Indwelling Urinary Catheter Care and Management, dated 12/11/23 stated when providing catheter care the staff is to perform hand hygiene, put on gloves and other personal protective equipment. Review of the facility policy titled Infection Control - Enhanced Barrier Precautions, revised 09/14/23 stated enhanced barrier precautions will be utilized for a resident known or suspected to be infected or colonized with epidemiologically important microorganisms transmitted by direct contact with the microorganism. Enhanced barrier precautions are to be used in the care and management of an indwelling catheter regardless of multi drug resistance and/or colonization and require the use of personal protective equipment to include gloves and a gown during care, with hand hygiene completed prior to and after care. This was an incidental finding discovered during the complaint investigation.
