Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
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
observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide appropirate treatment and services
to prevent urinary tract infections for one resident (Resident #8) of three residents reviewed for catheter
care.
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).
The findings included:
Review of Resident #8's face sheet dated 04/06/2023, revealed resident was initially admitted to the facility
on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #8's diagnoses include sepsis due to methicillin resistant
staphylococcus aureus (staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics),
stroke, acute respiratory failure, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (urinary conditions in people who
lack bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or never problem), repeated falls, dementia, cerebral
aneurysm, type-2 diabetes, and hypertension (high blood pressure).
Review of Resident #8's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #8 had a BIMS score
of 0 which indicated he was severely impaired cognitively. Resident #8 with Indwelling catheter, always
incontinent of both urinary and bowel continence.
Review of Resident #8's care plan dated 4/6/2023 revealed Focus: resident has Foley Catheter and is at
risk for Increased Urinary Tract Infections: Date Initiated: 10/05/2022. Interventions: CATHETER: The
resident has 16fr catheter; Position catheter bag and tubing below the level of the bladder and away from
entrance room door; Check tubing for kinks each shift; Monitor for signs and symptoms of discomfort on
urination and frequency; Monitor/document for pain/discomfort due to catheter; Monitor/record/report to
medical doctor for signs or symptoms of UTI: pain, burning, blood tinged urine, cloudiness, no output,
deepening of urine color, increased pulse, increased temp, urinary frequency, foul smelling urine, fever,
chills, altered mental status, change in behavior, change in eating patterns.

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.

community that the resident with a urinary catheter will be provided services in a safe and appropriate
manner to minimize the risks of urinary tract complications. Procedures include secure urinary drainage
