(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an observation on 08/08/2024 at 10:00 AM, Resident #5 was observed lying in bed asleep. His catheter tubing was not secured onto resident's leg with a leg strap. In an interview on 08/07/2024 at 10:11 AM, CNA A stated that Resident #5 liked to place the bag on the left side of the wheelchair and did not have a leg strap and placed the tubing like that all the time. CNA A stated the tubing was wrong and should not be placed like that and the catheter bag should be placed at the front of the wheelchair in the bluebag. The risk would be that the urine did not flow down as it should and would not allow urine to flow properly and could cause a UTI for the patient. CNA A confirmed Resident #5 did not have a leg anchor for his catheter. In an interview on 08/08/2024 at 12:55 PM, LVN C said CNAs were reminded, as a second look, to ensure the tubing was not leaking and placed corrected on the leg strap . All catheters required a leg strap, there would be the risk if a resident did not have a leg strap, a risk of it coming out and injuring their urethra. In an interview on 08/08/2024 at 03:00 PM, the DON stated residents should have a leg strap, a stabilizer, or a band, but it was always the patches placed on for them . The nurses are the ones responsible for making sure they are put into place and secured correctly. The CNAs would notify nurses if anything is wrong, or the foley was scheduled every month to be changed. The foley should be checked daily by nurses, CNAs, or even the DON that saw it needed attention and would be fixed right away. DON and Surveyor went to confirm if Resident #5 a leg strap as DON stated all CNAs should know residents need the leg strap or at least let the RNs know residents do not have one on. DON stated that the resident did not have a leg strap. Resident was alert and oriented and trying to get out of bed. The Resident stated his foley did not hurt, but he did feel it tugging and was afraid it was going to come out. So to avoid him feeling that he placed the tubing under his leg and then moved so it did not pull. DON verified that resident should have had a leg strap on. In an interview on 08/09/2024 at 03:35 PM, the Administrator stated that he did not know how often they train for catheter care, and he would rather those questions be referred to his DON because he had no idea. In an interview on 08/08/2024 at 03:18 pm, RN B stated that catheters should be checked on every shift by the nurses and CNAs would advise if they need further attention. The risk of not having a leg strap on the resident or the tubing secured could be that it was pulled out of place and can cause skin breakdown to urethra and pain. RN B stated she did not receive any training from the facility regarding catheter care but knows from school. Record review of the facilities Catheter Care revised June 2019, and Perineal Care revised in December 2023 revealed policies did not state anything regarding leg straps. No other policy was brought forth prior to exit. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675723 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 2
