Residents Affected - Some
Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1)
received the incontinence care in a timely manner when Resident 1 waited for an hour to receive care. This
failure resulted in Resident 1's incontinence brief to overflow with urine unto the floor, which had the
potential to negatively impact the resident's well-being.
Findings:
Review of the facility's assessment showed the resident's care needs included responding to requests for
assistance with bathroom/toileting needs promptly in order to maintain continence and residents' dignity.
Further review of this document showed physical equipment needs for the facility included lifts.
On 12/5/23 at 0945 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with Resident 1's RP. When asked about
Resident 1's care, the RP stated on 11/29/23, during the day shift, there was a delay in changing Resident
1's soiled incontinence brief. Per the RP, during this delay, Resident 1 had another episode of urine
incontinence. The RP stated on 11/29/23 at 1151 hours, Resident 1 was sitting on her geri-chair with urine
overflowing out of her diaper, onto Resident 1's geri-chair, and onto the room floor. The RP stated she
placed the paper towels on the floor to soak up Resident 1's overflowed urine. The RP stated Resident 1
waited for an hour before getting her incontinence brief changed.
Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 12/12/23. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and discharged to another facility on 12/6/23.
Review of Resident 1's History & Physical examination dated 9/28/23, showed Resident 1's diagnoses
included post status brain injury and spinal cord fractures.
Review of Resident 1's initial MDS dated [DATE] showed Resident 1 had impaired cognition. Further review
of the MDS showed Resident 1 was fully dependent on staff for her bladder needs. Resident 1 was always
incontinent of bladder.
On 12/2/23 at 1518 hours, an interview was conducted with the CNO and the Quality Director. The above
findings were verified with the CNO and the Quality Director.

Residents Affected - Some
Ensure the facility is licensed under applicable State and local law and operates and provides services in
compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and codes, and with accepted
professional standards.
Based on observation and medical record review, the facility failed to comply with the State laws for one of
two sampled residents as evidenced by:
*A facility staff (CNA 1) was observed applying the antifungal ointment on Resident 1. This failure had the
potential to not provide the necessary care and services to meet the resident's care needs.
Findings:
According to the California Code of Regulations Title 22 § 72313, showed all medications and
treatments shall be administered only by the licensed medical or licensed personnel.
On 12/5/23 at 1404 hours, a perineal care observation for Resident 1 was conducted with LVN 1 and CNA
1. During this assessment, CNA 1 was observed applying Nystatin (antifungal medication) ointment on
Resident 1's perineal area. LVN 1 verified the finding.
On 12/7/23 at 1026 hours, LVN 1 acknowledged CNA 1 was not supposed to be applying Nystatin ointment
on Resident 1. LVN 1 verified she placed her (LVN 1) initials on Resident 1's MAR for Resident 1's Nystatin
cream on the date when CNA 1 was observed applying Resident 1's ointment.
On 12/8/23 at 1518 hours, an interview was conducted with the CNO and Quality Director. The CNO was
informed of the above findings and acknowledged CNAs were not authorized to apply nystatin.
