During an interview on 4/29/2025 at 12:09PM CNA A stated privacy bags were placed by nurses and not
CNAs. CNA A stated CNAs were allowed to provide perineal care and incontinent care but could not place
privacy bags. CNA A stated she did not know the reason as to why CNAs were not allowed to place privacy
bags on foley catheters. CNA A stated privacy bags were utilized to ensure the resident maintained their
right to privacy and to ensure resident's urine was not visible. CNA A stated if a foley catheter did not have
a privacy bag, a resident could feel embarrassed or hurt. CNA A stated it was within the nurse's scope of
practice to place a privacy bag on Resident #2's foley catheter. CNA A stated she did not recall when she
attended an in-service regarding foley catheter care or privacy bags.
During an interview on 04/29/2025 at 12:17PM LVN C stated Resident #2 was moved to the 300 hall over
the weekend. LVN C stated prior to his room change, Resident #2 was in the 100 hall for several weeks.
LVN C stated, while observing Resident #2 in his room, Resident #2 should have a privacy bag on his foley
catheter but did not. LVN C stated all clinical staff could place privacy bags and it was not the sole
responsibility of the nurses. LVN C did not give a definitive answer as to how a resident could have been
affected given that Resident #2 was cognitively impaired. LVN C stated privacy bags were utilized to ensure
Resident #2's right to privacy and it could have been compromised due to the catheter being visible to
visitors and staff. LVN C stated he would rectify the situation by placing a privacy bag on Resident#2's foley
catheter. LVN C stated he could not recall the last in-service he attended regarding foley catheter care and
privacy bags.
During a phone interview on 04/29/2025 at 2:23PM the DON stated the dignity bag or privacy bags were
utilized to cover the urine output within the foley catheters. The DON stated the expectation was for all foley
catheters to have some sort of covering. The DON stated privacy coverings were used to ensure that
resident's urine output was not seen by the visitors to ensure the resident's right to privacy. The DON stated
she could not definitively state how a lack of privacy covering could affect residents with foley catheters.
The DON referenced her own familial experience to justify that a lack of privacy covering on a foley catheter
may not compromise the psycho-social well-being of a person. The DON reiterated privacy bags/shields
should be utilized for all foley catheters to ensure the resident's right to privacy. The DON stated she had
been employed at the facility for roughly 1 week and did not recall attending an in-service regarding foley
catheter privacy bags.
Requested foley catheter care/privacy bag in-services on 04/29/2025 at 1:54PM to the Administrator, did
not receive by the time of the exit conference.

activate their abuse protocols which would consist of protecting the resident, calling the police if needed,
and reporting the allegation to state agencies. The DON stated she would assume any form of abuse would
be a criminal offense and if proven true the person could get into a lot of trouble. The DON stated she could
not speak to the actions or lack of actions regarding the previous DON, but in her professional opinion if
there was an allegation of physical abuse, she would notify local law enforcement. The DON did not
definitively state what could transpire if the local law enforcement were not notified of the allegation of
abuse.
