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, interview, record review, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure an indwelling urinary catheter was stabilized and maintained in a manner to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI). This affected one resident (#17) out of three residents reviewed for an indwelling urinary catheter. The facility census was 45.
Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #17 revealed an admission date of 04/25/22 with diagnoses including type II diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and calculus of kidney. Review of Resident #17's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 05/01/22, revealed Resident #17 was cognitively intact. Resident #17 required the extensive assistance of two staff members for bed mobility and transfers. Resident #17 had an indwelling catheter for urine and was always continent of bowel. Review of the plan of care, dated 04/26/22, revealed the resident had an indwelling urinary catheter due to urinary retention. Interventions included positioning catheter bag below level of bladder, manipulating tubing as little as possible during care, reporting UTIs, and changing the catheter per physician order. Review of physician orders, dated 04/26/22, revealed an order for catheter care every shift for indwelling 16 French with 10 cubic centimeter (CC) balloon due to urinary retention. Observation on 06/21/22 at 11:16 A.M. revealed Resident #17 sitting in her wheelchair with her urinary catheter drainage bag sitting next to her on the wheelchair seat. The urinary catheter drainage bag was not secured to the chair and the drainage tube was looping upward and stationary in a position above the resident's bladder. Interview and observation on 06/21/22 at 11:21 A.M. with Licensed practical Nurse (LPN) #905 verified the aforementioned findings. LPN #905 further verified the drainage tube was kinked which prevented urine from flowing through the drainage tube, and the Foley catheter stabilization device/lock normally located on Resident #17's inner thigh had become unattached and unsecured. LPN #905 retrieved and replaced the stabilization device. Review of the facility policy titled Infection Control Program, reviewed January 2022, revealed an important facet of infection prevention includes educating staff and ensuring they adhere to proper techniques and procedures.
