hospital they told him the foley catheter tube had a tear in it, the part that was in his urethra.In an interview on 12/1/25 at 11:50am, LVN R said the indications for changing a foley catheter were if it was occluded, leaking, or she could not irrigate it. She said she had changed Resident #1's catheter on 11/25/25 or 11/26/26 and that it had leaked before. She said if the catheter did not get changed it could cause a UTI, obstruction, or a full bladder. She said when Resident #1 came back from the hospital he was asking her if they were allowed to change and irrigate his foley, and he was telling her about his problems he had with LVN S not helping him when he was leaking everywhere. LVN R said Resident #1's foley catheter had to be changed in the ER when he went.In an interview on 12/1/25 at 12:10pm, EMS B said he observed Resident #1 covered in urine from his mid-chest down when he went to the facility to pick him up.

EMS B said the resident told LVN S if she did not help him he was going to call 911 and she told him to do whatever he wanted and walked out. EMS B said he saw the catheter leaking and saw it was not properly positioned. He said the tip of the catheter was in Resident #1's urethra instead of in the bladder. He said a CNA had gone in the room when he arrived and she attempted to put a clean brief on Resident #1, but as soon as they turned the resident he soiled it with more urine. He also said while the resident was turned he noticed a bandage on the resident's left buttocks and a reddened/darkened area to his lower back.In an interview on 12/1/25 at 1:15pm, the DON said Resident #1 filed a grievance yesterday (11/30/25) regarding LVN S not changing his catheter. The DON said that was the first time she heard about the incident. She said she was told by LVN S that Resident #1 wanted to go to the hospital to get antibiotics, but there was no documentation of that. The DON said if a resident had a leaking foley and had an order for it to be flushed and/or changed, she expected the nurse to flush the foley first to see if that took care of the leaking, and if that did not work, she expected the nurse to change the catheter.

She said he asked her to change his catheter, but she wanted to call the MD to see what he wanted to do, even though there were orders to change it. She said she did not clean up Resident #1 or change his catheter because the resident did not want to wait for her to call the doctor and went ahead and called 911. She said she had not changed any catheter before in the facility and only worked at the facility PRN. She said indications for changing a foley were bleeding and discharge in the catheter. She also said she did not irrigate Resident #1's catheter at any time that day.Record review of the facility's policy and procedure on Catheter Care, Urinary (Revised September 2014) read in part: The purpose of this procedure is to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections. If breaks in aseptic technique, disconnection, or leakage occur, replace the catheter and collecting system using aseptic technique and sterile equipment, as ordered. Rather, it is suggested to change catheters and drainage bags based on clinical indications such as infection, obstruction, or when the closed system is compromised. Observe the resident for complications associated with urinary catheters. If the resident indicates that his or her bladder is full or that he or she needs to void (urinate), notify the physician or supervisor. Check the urine for unusual appearance (i.e., color, blood, etc.). Notify the physician or supervisor in the event of bleeding, or if the catheter is accidently removed. Report any complaints the resident may have of burning, tenderness, or pain in the urethral area. Observe for other signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection or urinary retention. Report findings to the physician or supervisor immediately. If the catheter material is contributing to obstruction, notify the physician and change the catheter if
