**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, policy review, national library glove use review guidance and interview,
the facility failed to ensure a resident with an indwelling urinary catheter was provided appropriate care and

severely impaired for daily decision-making, had no behavioral or rejection of care, bilateral impaired upper

Note dated 02/06/25 revealed diagnoses included Escherichia coli (e. coli) cystitis with chronic retained
right ureteral stent with greater than 100,000 col/mL urine culture for e. coli (a gram-negative bacteria
commonly found in the lower intestine). Further review of the hospital records revealed a Discharge
summary dated [DATE] revealed the resident was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] with diagnoses
including a urinary tract infection requiring treatment with antibiotics and discharged back to the facility on

care revealed the following: Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) #222, CNA #224 and Registered Nurse
(RN)#266 donned personal protective equipment, gathered supplies and entered Resident #2's room to
perform catheter care. CNA #222 washed her hands at the sink, donned gloves after filling a single water
basin with warm water and took soap and the single wash basin to the resident's bedside. CNA #222
informed the resident she was going to perform catheter care and CNA #224 was going to roll her onto her
left side. Observation of the resident laying on her back in bed revealed the indwelling catheter tubing was
positioned under her left leg and was pressed against the mattress. CNA #222 grasped a washcloth and
placed it into the wash basin, applied soap to the wash cloth. The indwelling catheter shaft tubing from the
external urethral orifice to the urine drainage port was cleansed in a downward motion while CNA #222 was
securing the catheter at the resident's urethral opening and labia. CNA #222's gloved fingers and hand was
observed pressing against the external urethra and labia while the indwelling catheter tubing was cleaned.
The washcloth was placed into a trash bag being held by RN #266. CNA #222 grasped a new clean
washcloth without changing her gloves and placed both the wash cloth and gloved hands in the washbasin
CNA #222's gloved hands were observed and moved the washcloth around the washbasin to wet it and
then wrung out the excess water. CNA #222 proceeded to rinse the indwelling catheter tubing and then
placed the washcloth used to rinse the tubing into the trashbag. Using the same gloves, CNA #222 then
grasped a clean dry washcloth, dried the catheter tubing and then placed the washcloth in the trashbag.
CNA #222 went to the resident's bathroom, dumped the washbasin water into the toilet, removed her
gloves and washed her hands at the sink. CNA #222 verified the above observation and she had not
changed her gloves during the procedure.
On 02/18/25 between 12:25 P.M. and 12:37 P.M., interview with RN #226 verified CNA #222 did not change
her gloves during catheter care and were placed in the washbasin after used to clean and then rinse/dry
the resident's indwelling catheter tubing. RN #226 stated the resident had been hospitalized recently for
diagnoses including a urinary tract infection and residents with indwelling catheters were at higher risk for
infections.
On 02/18/25 between 12:43 P.M. to 12:46 P.M., interview with CNA #222 verified the above observation.
Review of the undated Policy: Catheter Care, Urinary revealed it was the facility policy to prevent infection
of the resident's urinary tract.
Review of the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health: Glove Use dated March 2010
revealed change gloves between tasks and procedures on the same patient, and after contact with material
that may contain high concentration of microorganisms.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00162399.
