This failure had the potential to negatively affect Resident 2's well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Resident Rights revised 10/2009 showed the Federal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of this facility which includes to choose a physician and treatment, and participate in decisions and care planning. Our facility will make every effort to exercise his/her rights to assure the resident is always treated with respect, kindness, and dignity.

On 11/19/24 at 1401 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with Resident 2. Resident 2 stated when the staff came to remove her indwelling urinary Foley catheter, the staff did not ask her permission, and it was more like an announcement. Resident 2 further stated the staff did not ask her permission for the other staff to be present when removing her indwelling urinary Foley catheter. Resident 2 stated she felt upset, embarrassed, violated, and caused her to cry afterwards. On 11/19/24 at 1508 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 2.

F 0557 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few present during the procedure, LVN 2 stated the three of us. When asked if Resident 2 was crying, LVN 2 stated Resident 2 was crying afterwards and stated she was shocked because the two gentlemen came in. When asked if Resident 2 should have been asked for the permission to have male staff present in the room when performing the procedure, LVN 2 stated, yeah I should have. On 11/21/24 at 1225, an interview was conducted with CNA 4. CNA 4 stated, we told Resident 2 there was an order from the physician for the indwelling urinary foley catheter to be removed. When asked who was present in the room during the procedure, CNA 4 stated two other charge nurses LVNs 2 and 4. When asked if Resident 2 was asked permission if all the three staff members can be present during the procedure, CNA 4 stated no, we just asked if it was okay to remove the indwelling urinary foley catheter. On 11/21/24 at 1557, an interview was conducted with LVN 4. LVN 4 stated he helped Resident 2 back in the bed for the procedure along with two other staff members. LVN 4 stated, Resident 2 asked why they were all there and stated it would not take three people to take the indwelling urinary catheter out. When asked if Resident 2 was asked for permission for all the three staff members to be present, LVN 4 stated I did not think so. On 11/22/24 at 1406 hours, an interview was conducted with the DSD. The DSD stated if the resident was uncomfortable with male staff being present in the room during the removal of the indwelling urinary foley catheter, they should have asked for permission first. The DSD stated it usually only takes one licensed nurse to remove an indwelling urinary foley catheter and one staff member should have left. On 11/22/24 at 1612 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was made aware and acknowledged the above findings.
