Resident #8's catheter drainage collection bag was left on the floor. Resident #8 has history of urinary tract infections. This deficient practice could affect residents with catheters and could result in cross contamination of germs and could result in a urinary tract infection (a painful infection of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, urethra, and ureters).

F 0690 to his bed. Investigator knocked on the door and Resident #8 sound asleep. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 04/06/2023 at 9:50 a.m., RN C said that staff had just given Resident #8 a bed bath approximately 15 to 20 minutes before. RN C said that the drainage collection bag was supposed to be attached to the bed and not just left lying on the floor. RN C said the risk of the drainage collection bag left lying on the floor is infection control as urine may leak on the floor. RN C said Resident #8 was at risk of urinary tract infections and had history of urinary tract infections last noted during a hospital stay on November 30th, 2022. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 04/06/2023 at 3:30 p.m., DON said the drainage collection bag should never be left on the floor. DON said the collection bag should be attached to the side below bladder level of the resident. DON said the collection bag being on the floor is an infection control issue due to resident's risk of urinary tract infections. DON said that CNAs and Nurses were responsible to ensure that the collection bag is securely attached to the bed. DON said that monthly in-services are conducted with all facility staff to include infection control. Review of facility Infection Control policy revised 01/15/2022, reads in part this community's infection control policies and practices are intended to facilitate maintaining a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent and manage transmission of diseases and infections.
