Observation of Resident #95 on 06/29/21 at 3:53 P.M. revealed a full urinary catheter bag that contained 2000 cubic centimeters (cc's) of orange colored urine, further observation revealed the resident had a piece of tape securing his urinary catheter tubing to his leg. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #403 at time of observation revealed the resident should have had a leg strap and confirmed the amount of urine, further observation with LPN #403 revealed Resident #95 had a very swollen scrotal area and resident moaned in pain when area was touched. LPN #403 reported his scrotum had been edematous for a few weeks and confirmed there was no documentation related to his swollen and painful scrotum. Interview with LPN #407 on 06/30/21 at 7:49 A.M. reported he had not worked in a couple of days and had no idea his scrotum was swollen. Interview with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #405 on 06/30/21 at 7:55 A.M. reported she worked on Saturday and noticed his scrotum was swollen and tender, so she informed LPN #406.

Resident #95 complained of pain from the catheter. RN #404 reported no awareness of the resident's swollen scrotum and he would be notifying the physician of the pain and inquired about getting a urinalysis. On 06/30/21 at 11:24 A.M. the nurse noted the resident had a new onset of hydrocele with reports of discomfort to the scrotum/lower back that he rated a nine out of 10. Morphine Sulfate was administered with minimal effect. The urinary catheter bag had amber colored urine with moderate amounts of sediment. The nurse called the physician who ordered the resident be sent out to the hospital. On 07/01/21 at 4:16 A.M. he returned from the hospital with a diagnosis of a bladder infection and on antibiotic therapy. On 07/02/21 at 11:30 A.M. the nurse practitioner was made aware he was requesting Morphine Sulfate for scrotal pain and gave a new order to discontinue Morphine Sulfate and utilize Ultram (an opioid analgesic) 50 milligrams every eight hours as needed for complaints of generalized pain/discomfort. Review of the pain management policy dated 02/01/21 indicated to evaluate the resident for pain by asking the resident to rate the intensity of his/her pain using a numerical scale or a visual descriptor, identify key characteristics of the pain (duration, frequency, location, onset, pattern and radiation), descriptors of pain (aching, burning, throbbing, tingling, stabbing), determine factors that make the pain better or worse, how does the pain impact the quality of life, use non pharmacological and/or pharmacological interventions, effectiveness of the medication or treatments, if not controlled the practitioner should be notified, reassess the resident regularly.

Residents Affected - Some
Findings include: Interview with the Administrator on 06/28/21 at 9:00 A.M. reported the facility had no residents with COVID 19 but had one staff test positive so they were in outbreak testing. She reported the observation unit was located on the second floor and this was where new admissions spend their first 14 days. She indicated full personal protective equipment had to be worn in the resident rooms. On 06/28/21 at 10:00 A.M. during the initial tour of the facility, a small unit on the second floor had the double doors at both ends of the unit closed. Signs were posted for authorized employees only and had N95 masks at the entrance to the unit. There was no eye protection available and staff working the unit were not observed wearing eye protection. Resident's in the general population were observed congregating in the dining room or in areas where group activities were being held. No residents were observed wearing masks. On 06/28/21 at 3:25 P.M. Resident #160's sister was standing outside of his room calling out for help. The call light above his door was illuminated. The sister was wearing a surgical mask and no other personal protective equipment. The daughter was in the room with the resident explaining they had called for assistance but the staff did not come timely enough so she tried to assist him to the bathroom and he had an accident on the floor, his bed was wet with urine, there was medication residue on the carpet from where he spit out his medication. She found him wet and in need of toileting for the last two days and was very upset. The daughter reported she visited daily to help him eat and to explain things to him since he spoke little English. The daughter wore no personal protective equipment. On 06/29/21 at 3:21 P.M. the daughter was observed in his room not wearing any personal protective equipment. She was asked how she was educated when entering the building. She said she was told to wear a surgical mask. She pulled it out of her purse and said she removed it when in the room with her father. She acknowledged seeing the signs on the entry doors but did not think that was related to her father. Resident #76 also had a visitor at that time who wore no personal protective equipment. Interview on 06/29/21 at 3:25 P.M. with the infection preventionist Registered Nurse (RN) #408 reported the front desk didn't know where the visitors were going in the facility and told all to wear a surgical mask. She initially reported that was all that was necessary when visiting the observation unit. But was asked why the signage indicated to wear an N95, eye protection and gown when entering the resident rooms. She admitted then that the resident's families should be wearing the gown, gloves, eye protection when in the room. She was informed the direct care staff wore no eye protection for two days and today's State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) also was not wearing a gown or gloves when going into resident rooms. She was informed Residents #76 and #160 had visitors wearing no personal protective equipment. On 06/29/21 at 4:06 P.M. Residents #76's and #160's visitors had N95 masks and gowns on. Interview

with Resident #160's daughter said she was educated to wear mask and gown when in the room and was upset she was not told this earlier because she did not want to bring COVID 19 home to her family. Further interview with RN #408 and the Administrator on 07/01/21 at 10:03 A.M. reported all staff and visitors were to complete screening upon entering the facility. This was a computerized system that could print out the screening logs. They reported visitors going to the observation unit were provided a leaflet on how to don and doff personal protective equipment. Staff and visitors were to wear N95 masks, goggles, and gowns. They call families weekly with updates and have a website for information. They reported 83% of residents were vaccinated for COVID 19 but only 64% of the staff were vaccinated. They reported residents on the observation unit should wear personal protective equipment when they left the unit and residents in the general population should wear a surgical mask when out of their rooms, but they could not force them. Review of the facility's policies on COVID 19 were based on the Centers for Disease Control. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH00111256.
