F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 7/12/2024 at 1:20 p.m., the DON stated the facility uses batch orders for Foley catheter care. The DON stated the nurse that does the admission is responsible for making sure they are completed. The DON stated she did not put in the catheter care batch orders for Resident #1 until 7/10/2024 I should have done it but I didn't get to it. The DON further stated the nurses are still learning how to do batch orders but ultimately is responsible for making sure they get in and done. She stated she believed catheter care was being done even though there was no order, but she cannot prove this as there are no progress notes from the nurses to reflect the care was being done. She stated if catheter care is not done residents can get infections and become very sick. During an interview on 7/15/2024 at 9:10 a.m., the AAD stated he was not aware Resident #1 did not have orders put in at admission for catheter care and stated, that is unacceptable. During an interview on 7/15/2024 at 11:58 a.m., the AD stated her expectation is that staff will make sure new admissions are followed up on immediately as far as orders including Foley catheters. She stated it is the DON's responsibility to follow up and make sure orders are being done. She stated she is not sure how this was missed because she is currently out on maternity leave. When asked what could happen if catheter care is not provided, AD stated a plethora of things - infection control first and foremost, it could lead to infections a UTI could be the first thing. If it is not documented then the care didn't happen. During an interview on 7/15/2024 at 12:43 p.m., the Medical Director (MD) stated he came on as MD for the facility in January of 2024 and has reviewed the facility batch orders and is familiar with the orders. He stated he was not aware the batch orders for catheter care for Resident #1 were not done until 10 days after Resident #1 was admitted . He stated his expectations around indwelling catheters is nursing should ensure residents have Foley catheter care orders at admission. He stated he believed it was an oversight and does not believe there have been any issues with any other residents pertaining to catheter care. He stated if catheter care is not performed a resident could potentially get an infection or some other complication from their catheter; a resident could also get skin breakdown from it not being cleaned or if the catheter is leaking. During an interview on 7/15/2024 at 12:50 p.m., LVN B stated she was the nurse that completed the admission orders on Resident #1. LVN B stated the nurses were typically responsible for the medication orders and the ADON or DON were responsible for the batch orders. She stated they have not had an ADON since the end of June, so the DON would have been responsible for the batch orders. She stated she has never received any training on how to input batch orders which would include orders for Foley catheter care. LVN B stated if catheter care is not done a Resident could potentially get an infection, have compromised skin integrity, the catheter could be dislodged and could not be patent. During an interview on 7/16/2024 at 1:16 p.m., the AAD stated they were not able to locate any in-service records for nursing staff on completing batch orders in EMR to include orders for catheter care, but they would be rectifying that right away. Review of facility policy Indwelling Urinary Catheter Care dated 12/2023 reflected Policy - it is the policy of this facility that each resident with an indwelling catheter will receive catheter care daily and as needed (PRN) to promote hygiene, comfort and decrease the risk of infection.
