F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on facility policy, review of clinical record, observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that care was provided in a manner which maintained resident dignity for one of four residents (Resident R87). Findings include: Review of facility policy Indwelling Urinary Catheter dated 8/1/25, indicated that clinical staff may provide urinary catheter care. Such care will help to prevent catheter association urinary tract infections. Check drainage tubing and bag to ensure that the catheter is draining properly, and no kinks are present. The urinary drainage bag must be placed below the bladder level but not on the floor. Ensure drainage bag is covered with privacy/dignity bag. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R87 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R87's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 8/20/25, indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure, heart failure (a progressive heart disease that affects pumping action of the heart muscles), and obstructive uropathy (a blockage in the urinary system that prevents urine from draining normally). Review of Resident R87's care plan revised on 8/26/25, indicated the resident has an indwelling urinary catheter related to obstructive uropathy. During an observation on 9/2/25, at 11:37 a.m. Resident R87's catheter draining bag was observed lying on the floor beside the bed without a privacy cover applied. During an interview on 9/2/25, at 11:51 a.m. Licensed Practical Nurse Employee E1 confirmed Resident R87's catheter draining bag did not have a privacy cover and that the facility failed to ensure that care was provided in a way that maintained Resident R87's dignity.

Symptoms may include: - Weakness or dizziness - Tremor, Palpitations, Sweating - Hunger, Altered Mental Status - Facial Pallor, Hunger - Numbness, Tingling, Drowsiness - Anxiety, AgitationA blood glucose of 70 mg/dL or less may indicate the need for intervention. If there are no provider orders for specific treatment, do the following: - Resident is drowsy or unconscious or is unable to or unwilling to consume anything orally, administer glucagon 1 mg subcutaneously (a medication administered into the skin). Monitor resident every 15 minutes after treatment. - Once acute hypoglycemia has been resolved, notify the provider and document in resident's medical record.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policies, review of clinical record, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices related to the care of indwelling urinary catheters (tube inserted in the bladder to drain urine) for one of four residents (Resident R87), and failed to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriately in Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP-a type of isolation), which created the potential for the cross-contamination and the spread of diseases and infections for one of three residents (R87). Findings include: Review of facility policy Indwelling Urinary Catheter dated 8/1/25, indicated that clinical staff may provide urinary catheter care. Such care will help to prevent catheter association urinary tract infections. Check drainage tubing and bag to ensure that the catheter is draining properly, and no kinks are present. The urinary drainage bag must be placed below the bladder level but not on the floor. Ensure drainage bag is covered with privacy/dignity bag. Review of facility policy Infection Prevention and Control Program dated 8/1/25, indicated the policy is to maintain an organized, effective facility - wide program designed to prevent, identify, control and reduce the risk of acquiring and transmitting infections. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R87 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R87's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 8/20/25, indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure, heart failure (a progressive heart disease that affects pumping action of the heart muscles), and obstructive uropathy (a blockage in the urinary system that prevents urine from draining normally). During a tour of the facility on 9/2/25, at 10:03 a.m. included EBP signage on Resident R87's door with PPE stored in a bin prior to entering resident's room. Review of Resident R87's care plan revised on 8/26/25, indicated the resident has an indwelling urinary catheter related to obstructive uropathy and has the need for EBP related to potential for infectious disease as evidenced by indwelling foley catheter. Review of Resident R87's current physician orders indicated EBP for foley catheter. During an observation on 9/2/25, at 11:37 a.m. Resident R87's catheter draining bag was observed lying directly on the floor beside the bed without a privacy cover applied. During an observation on 9/2/25, at 11:45 a.m. Nursing Assistant (NA) Employee E11 emptied Resident R87's foley catheter and failed to wear PPE, as required. During an interview on 9/2/25, at 11:52 a.m. NA Employee E11 was asked, What does this EBP sign mean? NA replied, I should have worn PPE when I emptied the residents foley catheter. We are educated in EBP and should wear at least gloves and gowns when we do special procedures and confirmed that the foley drainage bag was on the floor and that he did not wear PPE while emptying Resident R87's foley. During an interview on 9/2/25, at 2:45 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices related to the care of indwelling urinary catheters for one of four residents (Resident R87), and failed to use PPE appropriately in Enhanced Barrier Precautions, which created the potential for the cross-contamination and the spread of diseases and infections for one of three residents (Resident R87). 28 Pa. code: 201.14 (a) Responsibility of licensee. 28 Pa.
