Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents have a right to
personal privacy for 1 of 6 resident (Resident #42) reviewed for privacy, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
LVN A did not completely close Resident #42's privacy curtain while providing colostomy (an opening for
the colon through the abdomen) care for the resident.
This deficient practice could place residents at-risk of loss of dignity due to lack of privacy.
The findings include:
Record review of Resident #42's face sheet, dated 03/21/2024, revealed an admission date of 05/02/2019
and, a readmission date of 07/10/2021, with diagnoses which included: Hemiplegia (Paralysis of one side of
the body), Dysphasia (language disorder), Congestive heart failure (impairment of the heart's blood
pumping function), Alzheimer's disease (brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills),
Hyperlipidemia(Elevated level of any or all lipids(fat) in the blood), Mood disorder (any of a group of
conditions of mental and behavioral disorder causing a disturbance in the person's mood), Colostomy (an
opening for the colon through the abdomen) status.
Record review of Resident #42's Significant change status MDS assessment, dated 02/05/2024, revealed
the resident had a BIMS score of 12, indicating he was mildly impaired. Resident #42 had a ostomy and,
was always incontinent of bladder.
Observation on 03/21/24 at 09:41 a.m. revealed LVN A provided colostomy care for Resident #42, exposing
the end of the resident's bed which could be seen from the door if someone had entered the room during
care. Further observation revealed the curtain was either too short to cover the end of the bed or a curtain
was missing at the end of the bed. During the care laundry staff knocked at the door and started to enter
the room before being stopped by LVN A.
During an interview with LVN A on 03/21/2024 at 10:00 a.m., LVN A confirmed the privacy curtain was not
closed while they provided care for Resident #42 but it should have been. They confirmed the privacy
curtain was too short to cover the end of the bed.
During an interview with the ADON on 03/21/2024 at 10:10 a.m., the ADON confirmed privacy must be
provided during nursing care and Resident #42's privacy curtains should have been closed completely. He
revealed laundry services were in charge to change the curtain once a week and the curtain had been
changed on Monday 3/18/2024. The ADON confirmed the resident would have been provided care, to
include incontinent care, and therefore would have been been exposed without a full privacy curtain
multiple times since Monday.
