The physician and staff will identify significant risks for subsequent fluid and electrolyte imbalance, to include, for example, individuals who are not eating or drinking well. The physician will manage significant fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and associated risks, appropriately and in a timely manner. The staff will provide supportive measures such as supplemental fluids where indicated. Review of the policy Pain - Clinical Protocol revised March 2018 revealed with input from the resident to the extent possible, the physician and staff will establish goals of pain treatment. The nursing staff assess each individual for pain upon admission to the facility, at quarterly review, whenever there is a significant change in condition, and when there is a new onset of pain or worsening of existing pain. The physician will order pharmacologic interventions to address the individual's pain.

This affected one resident (Resident #13) of one resident reviewed for a foley catheter. In addition, the facility failed to timely initiate treatment for a UTI for Resident #42. This affected one resident (#42) of four residents reviewed for medications. The facility census was 81. Findings include: Record review for Resident #13 revealed an admission date of 03/08/20. Diagnosis included cerebral infarction, neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (a problem in which the resident lacks bladder control), obstructive and reflux uropathy (backup of urine into the unilateral or bilateral kidneys, depending on the location of the obstruction, this can lead to potential kidney damage), muscle wasting and atrophy, and muscle weakness. Review of the care plan dated 07/24/24 revealed Resident #13 had an indwelling urinary catheter size 22 French related to obstructive uropathy, neurogenic bladder and urinary retention. Interventions included changing the foley catheter per the physician orders, maintaining infection control, and maintaining the urinary drainage bag below the bladder level. Review of the Modification of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #13 was cognitively intact. Resident #13 had impairment on both sides of the lower extremities, was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene, and required substantial/maximal assistants for personal hygiene. Resident #13 had an indwelling catheter and was always incontinent of bowel.

The resident had been hospitalized and treated for diagnoses of cystitis (bladder infection). Review of the hospital After Visit Summary from 03/20/25 through 03/23/25 for Resident #13 revealed the resident had been hospitalized for possible cystitis and UTI, and upon arrival had a malpositioned indwelling urinary catheter.

Resident #13's urinary drainage bag remained positioned next to the resident's right leg, unchanged from the prior observation. RN #301 confirmed the urine was unable to flow freely by gravity due to the inappropriate placement of the urinary drainage bag. RN #301 revealed she had not been in Resident #13's room, so she dd not know why the bag was placed and left on the bed. Telephone interview on 03/26/25 at 11:09 A.M. with CNP #802 revealed the nursing staff never obtained the urine for the UA and C&S ordered on 03/13/25 or 03/18/25 for Resident #13, so she had the resident sent to the local emergency room for evaluation.

CNP #802 revealed a urinary catheter drained the urine by gravity. CNP #802 stated urinary drainage bags must be kept below the bladder level for the urine to drain. If the urine cannot drain, urine could backflow and could grow bacteria and develop into a UTI. Observation in 03/27/25 at 11:43 A.M. revealed Resident #13 was seated in her tilt-back wheelchair in her room. The wheelchair was tilted back in a reclined position, and the urinary drainage bag was hanging on the armrest of the chair.

Review of the policy Medication Regimen Reviews, revised May 2019 revealed a consultant pharmacist will medication regimen reviews (MRR) upon admission and at least monthly thereafter. The MRR involves a thorough review of the resident's medical record to prevent, identify, report, and resolve medication related problems and other irregularities. An irregularity refers to the use of medication that is inconsistent with accepted pharmaceutical services standards of practice; is not supported by medical evidence; and/or impedes or interferes with achieving the intended outcomes of pharmaceutical services. It may also include the use of medication without indication, without adequate monitoring, in excessive doses, and or in the presence of adverse consequences. If the physician does not provide a timely or adequate response, he/she contacts the Medical Director or the Administrator. The attending physician documents in the medical record that the irregularity has been reviewed and what (if any) action was taken to address it. 3.

The note stated the order was outside of the recommended dose or frequency. The dose failed a general dose range check, and the drug's dose should be adjusted based on renal function. The note concluded by noting manual screening was required. Additional review of Resident #42's progress notes revealed no evidence the resident's Macrobid dose had been reviewed or clarified with the resident's physician.
