admission date of 05/01/25 with the following diagnoses: pneumonia (lung infection), right knee contracture,
hypertension (high blood pressure), weakness and pain.
Record review of Resident #7's Comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 6 which

curtains during wound care. Resident #7 was lying in bed with his feet exposed to the door during wound
care to wound on left heel.

not pulled the curtain or closed the door. She stated she should have provided the resident with privacy
during wound care. She stated she had been trained on resident privacy and dignity.

time they were doing wound care. She stated all staff had been trained. She stated the DON and ADON
monitor staff by observing. She stated there was no reason privacy for the resident should not be provided.
She stated the potential negative outcome was resident dignity. She stated not providing privacy could also
have a psychological effect like embarrassment for the resident.
During an interview on 05/14/25 08:54 AM with ADM he stated residents should be provided privacy during
wound care. He stated all staff have been trained on privacy and dignity. He stated staff were monitored by
making rounds and correcting any issues found. He stated the potential negative outcome could be another
resident seeing more than the resident wants them to see and it was a dignity issue. He stated another
resident could tell other people about the residents wound and treatment.

Record review of Resident #44's progress notes from his admission through 05/12/25 revealed an agency
nurse changed his catheter on 03/13/25 due to Resident #44 pulling the old catheter out. Resident #44's
catheter was mentioned one other time in the progress notes by a note stating he had an indwelling
catheter on 01/15/25.
During an observation and interview on 05/12/25 at 12:30 PM Resident #44 was lying on his back in bed.
He stated his catheter tubing had not been changed in three months. He lifted the sheet and displayed the
tubing from his leg to the catheter bag hanging on the side of his bed. The tubing was stained a mustard
yellow color and was opaque in most places though in a few places it was possible to see into the tube and
see crystallization/sediment buildup. The tubing, as it was handled by Resident #44, appeared to be stiff
and not easily manipulated. Resident #44 stated his catheter had not been changed since he was admitted
to the facility.
During an interview and observation on 05/13/25 at 08:57 AM DON stated the frequency of catheter
changed depends. She stated, Sometimes a doctor does not want them to be changed every 30 days.
Depends on the patient and the orders. Usually every 30 days or PRN. When asked how staff would know it
was time to change a catheter if the order was PRN, DON stated, Look at the tubing and the urine. She
stated the color of the tubing and if it was stained or had built up inside the tubing would indicate it was time
to change the catheter. DON walked to Resident #44's room and looked at this catheter tubing which was
clear and supple. Resident #44 stated staff changed the tubing the night of 05/12/25. He stated on the
tubing was changed, not the part that was attached to his penis. He stated the nurse who changed the
tubing was LVN A. DON asked him when his catheter was last changed, and he told her it had not been
changed since he was admitted .
During an observation and interview on 05/13/25 at 09:07 AM DON stated Resident #44 seems like he is
with it, but he gets confused. She stated she was not sure it was possible to change just the tubing and not
the actual catheter. She walked to the supply closet and looked at catheter supplied. DON held up a
catheter in one hand and catheter tubing in the other hand and said it was possible to change just the
tubing. She stated she would look in Resident #44's chart and find out if his catheter had been changed
since he was admitted to the facility.
During an interview on 05/13/25 at 01:21 PM LVN A stated she was the nurse who worked the night of
05/12/25 and changed the tubing of Resident #44's catheter. She stated, He said his brief was a little wet.
LVN A stated she took tubing, a catheter, and a syringe into Resident #44's room to check on his catheter
and possible change it. She stated she only ended up changing the tubing of his catheter. LVN A stated, He
refused to have the part that inserted into his penis. He told me to look at the tubing because it was yellow,
and I changed that but told him it would not stop the catheter from leaking. LVN A stated, We used to
change them (catheters) like monthly and then they started saying we change them PRN. LVN A stated,
regarding the condition of Resident #44's catheter tubing, Well, it was looking like it had some sediment in
the tubing, but he doesn't like a lot of invasive procedures and stuff. Whenever (I) walked in there with
syringes he said I was not sticking him. I explained that I was not going to stick him I was going to take
water out of your catheter and try to readvance it. But he refused. It wasn't leaking real bad. LVN A stated it
was a not common for a catheter to leak and she did not know if it was because the catheters they were
using are cheap or what. She stated a possible negative impact on a resident of not changing a catheter
timely was, They can get UTIs and stuff. I think when they get all gunky, it could cause UTIs.
An interview was attempted with the facility's medical director on 05/13/25, but the call was not returned.

During an interview on 05/14/25 at 09:12 AM LVN C stated she looked at catheter bag and tubing to
determine if it was time to change a catheter when the orders called for PRN changes. She stated it was
time to change a catheter, If you see any type of sedimentation in it (tubing) 'cause that could cause it to
back up and cause UTI. LVN C stated not changing a catheter timely could lead to UTI and/or
hospitalization.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 05/14/25 at 09:30 AM ADON stated nurses would know it was time to change a
catheter, If there is sediment in it; if it is dislodged; if it is leaking; if the brief is wet; if they (resident) request
it because they are hurting. She stated tubing you could see through or that had sediment built up inside it
was an indicator it was time to change the catheter. She stated if a catheter was leaking normally it is a
worn-out kind of thing. She stated UTIs could result from not changing catheters timely. She stated if a
resident refused a catheter change nurses would need to document the refusal in the progress notes and
let her and the DON and the physician and the family know. She stated another staff member should
attempt to convince the resident to allow the change. ADON stated, They (resident) just might not like that
person. It is all about the approach.
During an interview on 05/14/25 at 09:38 AM DON stated if a resident refuses a catheter change, We
document it and care plan it, and educate resident on risk factors.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to use the services of a registered nurse for at least
8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week for 1 of 1 facility reviewed for RN coverage.
Residents Affected - Many
The facility failed to ensure RN coverage for 51 days of the last 6 months.
This failure could place residents at risk of harm due to being left without supervisory coverage for
coordination of events such as emergency care and disasters.
Findings Included:
Record review of the facility payroll-based journal for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 revealed the facility
did not have RN coverage on November 16, 17, and 30 and December 1, 14, 15, 28, and 29 of 2024.
Record review of facility payroll revealed the facility did not have RN coverage for January 20; February 8,
9, 12, 13, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 ,27, and 28; March 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, and 30;

position and a regular RN position and had not had anyone apply. He stated the only weekend day DON
had worked since starting was Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025. He stated not having RN coverage could
negatively impact residents. ADM stated, Resident's health would be at risk if something happens,
something could get missed as far as assessment or needing to go to the hospital.
During an interview on 05/14/25 at 09:12 AM LVN C stated it was important to have an RN in the building
each day. She stated, Because as an LVN we need that reference point. Their skill set is higher than ours
they have a larger scope of practice. We do need the reference point if we have a question or are
wondering about something. It is like asking your parent or your boss.
During an interview on 05/14/25 at 09:30 AM ADON stated it was important to have an RN in the building
every day. She stated, You need a reliable RN in case you second guess yourself.

each day. She stated, I just think you need that higher level of educated person to be available. She stated
she and ADM shared the responsibility for ensuring RN coverage. She stated, We keep updating the ad (for
RN positions available) and even saying PRN. We have tried everything. When asked if the facility could use
agency RNs, DON stated, It is not in the budget, they can charge up to 100 dollars an hour for an agency
RN.
