Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure the resident had the right to formulate an advance
directive and determine the choice to receive or not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 1
(Resident #26) of 8 residents reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to ensure Resident #26's
out-of-hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH DNR) was complete and valid for use in an emergency. This
failure could result in failure to honor the resident's wishes during a medical emergency. Findings included:
Record review of Resident #26's admission Record/Face Sheet, dated [DATE], revealed a [AGE] year-old
male admitted with diagnoses including effusion of the left knee (abnormal accumulation of fluid within the
knee joint causing swelling and pain), acute diastolic (congestive) heart failure (a condition in which the
heart is unable to relax and fill properly, resulting in fluid buildup and decreased blood flow), and vascular
dementia (a decline in cognitive function caused by reduced blood flow to the brain). The admission record
revealed the resident's advance directive was DNR. Record review of Resident #26's Quarterly MDS
assessment, dated [DATE], revealed the resident's BIMS score was 15, indicating the resident's cognition
was intact for daily decision making. Record review of Resident #26's comprehensive care plan, initiated
[DATE], revealed a focus area for advance directives. The care plan stated, Code status DNR - Do Not
Resuscitate. Honor my advance directives, care wishes, and code status will be respected and honored as
indicated. Record review of Resident #26's physician order summary, dated [DATE], revealed an order for
DNR with an order date of [DATE] and no end date. Record review of Resident #26's OOH DNR, dated
[DATE], revealed the document was signed by the resident and notarized. The document did not contain a
physician's signature. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:40 p.m., the DON stated all resident DNRs were
located in the electronic health record under the miscellaneous tab unless they were pending signatures
and waiting to be scanned. The DON stated the Social Worker (SW) was in charge of DNR paperwork. The
DON stated the facility would honor a DNR pending the physician's signature, as long as the form was filled
out. The DON stated emergency medical services honored a DNR in the past without a physician's
signature. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:58 p.m., the SW stated Resident #26's DNR was in the
electronic health record. After reviewing the OOH DNR, the SW stated the DNR appeared to be pending
the physician's signature. The SW stated she would check the physician's folder to see if the form was
waiting for signature. The SW stated she may have attempted to have the medical director sign the form
and placed it back in the physician's folder. The SW stated she would have to verify if she emailed the
physician, requesting signature. The SW stated there was a verbal order from the physician for Resident
#26 to be a DNR. The SW stated she was unsure if emergency medical services would honor a DNR
without a physician's signature. She stated nursing staff were the ones who responded to codes. Record
review of the facility's policy titled Advanced Directives, dated February 2017 and revised [DATE], revealed,

Residents Affected - Some
razor observed was provided to him by his family member two days ago. Resident #144 stated he last used
the disposable razor that morning during his shower. Resident #144 stated he was not assisted with his
showers and was able to go into the shower room without staff assistance.
During an observation on 1/13/26 at 11:58 a.m., Resident #103 was observed with a cup at the bedside
that had 5 pink handle disposable razor blades.
During an observation and interview on 1/13/26 at 1:41 p.m., Resident #103 summoned CNA F into his
room and stated someone had come into his room and took his personal items that included cologne and
his disposable razors. Resident #103 stated the disposable razor blades were his personal property, and he
last used them to shave himself the previous evening during his shower.
During an observation and interview on 1/13/26 at 1:44 p.m., with CNA F revealed Resident #144 in his
room with family visiting at the bedside. Resident #144 stated, somebody came into his room and took the
disposable razor that was on top of the dresser. Resident #144's family member stated he had brought the
disposable razors to the resident and a second family member stated there were more disposable razors
on the bottom drawer of the dresser. CNA F opened the bottom drawer of Resident #144's dresser and
pulled out a disposable razor. CNA F stated that disposable razors were not allowed in the resident's room
because it was considered a safety hazard and other residents could wander into the room and have
access to it and could accidentally cut themselves. CNA F stated, for a resident to be able to keep a
disposable razor in their room it had to be care planned. CNA F stated there was no particular staff
assigned to look for or monitor for items that could potentially be a safety hazard as it was everybody's
responsibility.
During a follow up interview on 1/13/26 at 1:45 p.m., CNA F stated there was only one resident he knew of
who was allowed to shave himself and that resident used an electric shaver. CNA F stated Resident #103
and Resident #144 were not supposed to have disposable razors in their rooms because the razors were
considered an accident hazard and the residents could cut themselves. CNA F stated, in addition, the
facility had residents who wandered and that person could have access to the disposable razors and
potentially cut themselves. CNA F stated that residents who were capable of shaving themselves still had to
have staff on standby in case there was an accident.
During an interview on 1/14/26 at 9:19 a.m., the DON stated she was not aware or could not think of
residents who wandered into other resident's rooms. The DON stated she was not aware of any residents
who could independently shower. The DON stated, if a resident's care plan reflects the resident had a
1-person assistant, then that meant there was standby assistance by staff. The DON stated residents were
allowed to have disposable razor blades in their rooms as long as it was care planned. The DON stated that
residents needed to be assessed to safely use the disposable razor and it was for safety reasons.

#148 presented the Surveyor with a document titled, Pre-Dialysis Assessment which included the resident's
name, dated 1/12/26, a set of current vital signs, and a set of post-dialysis vital signs with the wet weight
(64.7 Kg) and dry weight (55.2 Kg), signed by the dialysis clinic RN. Resident #148 took back the
Pre-Dialysis Assessment document, folded it back up, and placed it on the nightstand.During an interview
on 1/13/26 at 4:58 p.m., RN A stated she worked the day shift on 1/12/26 and prepared the Pre-Dialysis
Assessment document for Resident #148, and because it was the first time the resident was sent to dialysis
from their facility, the resident did not have a dialysis binder, so RN A stated she placed the Pre-Dialysis
Assessment document in Resident #148's sack lunch. RN A stated she was responsible for inputting the
current vitals on the form, and then the resident was supposed to give the document to the dialysis clinic
staff, and then the dialysis clinic staff filled out their portion and then the document was sent back to the
facility with the resident. RN A stated she was not on duty when Resident #148 returned from dialysis and
could not recall who was on duty after her. RN A stated the post dialysis assessment vital signs section of
the Pre-Dialysis Assessment document was supposed to be filled in by the facility nurse when the resident
returned. RN A stated, once the document was completed, it was placed in a basket at the nurse's station
for the medical records staff to pick up and scan into the resident's electronic record.During an interview on
1/13/26 at 5:04 p.m., the DON stated the Pre-Dialysis Assessment document should be completed by the
facility nurse before the resident was sent to dialysis. The DON stated the Pre-Dialysis Assessment
document was sent with the resident and the dialysis clinic was supposed to fill in their portion of the
document. The DON stated the document was supposed to be returned to the facility with the resident, and
the document either stayed in the resident's binder, or it gets picked up by medical records and was
scanned into the resident's electronic record. The DON stated, the purpose of the Pre-Dialysis Assessment
document was to obtain pre-dialysis and post-dialysis weights and to record information regarding any
issues with the treatment, to see how well the resident tolerated the treatment, and if the resident received
medications while at the dialysis clinic. The DON stated the Pre-Dialysis Assessment document for
Resident #148 could not be located but RN B, who was responsible for medical records, was trying to
locate the document and would provide to the Surveyor when found. During an observation and interview
on 1/13/26 at 5:14 p.m., RN B presented the Surveyor with Resident #148's Pre-Dialysis Assessment
document dated 1/12/26. RN B stated the document was missing information that was supposed to be
provided by the dialysis clinic staff. The Pre-Dialysis Assessment document presented by RN B and the
document provided to the Surveyor by Resident #148 did not match. RN B was asked if the Pre-Dialysis
Assessment document he presented to the Surveyor was the original document from 1/12/26, and RN B
stated, yes. RN B stated the information provided on the Pre-Dialysis Assessment form was crucial
because it showed any issues encountered during the dialysis treatment which included a drop in blood
pressure. RN B stated he was responsible for checking the Pre-Dialysis Assessment document for
completeness and accuracy before it was scanned into the electronic record and should be checked usually
the following day.During an interview on 1/13/26 at 5:27 p.m., ADON C stated she placed a call to the
dialysis clinic and was able to obtain the dry weight for Resident #148. ADON C stated the Pre-Dialysis
Assessment document was important because information provided on the document determined if the
resident was stable when he left the facility prior to treatment and the dialysis clinic was supposed to
provide the resident's weights and any issues seen during treatment or any additional orders or restrictions,
such as fluid restriction. ADON C stated, once the document was brought back to the facility, it was placed
in a box at the nurse's station, and then RN B would pick up the document and scan it into the electronic
record. ADON C stated, RN B was responsible

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records that were complete
and accurately documented in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices for 1 of 8
residents (Residents #4) reviewed for medical records. 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #4's
medication consent form was missing the nurse signature required to witness on the original medication
consent for her antidepressant medication venlafaxine and the replacement consent form did not include
the medication name. 2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #4's medication orders and Medication
Administration Record (MAR) accurately reflected the correct route of administration, medications were
documented as administered by mouth when the resident received all medications via gastrostomy tube
(G-tube) (a tube surgically placed through the abdominal wall into the stomach to provide nutrition, fluids,
and medications when a person cannot safely swallow). 3. The facility failed to ensure Resident #4's
out-of-hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH DNR) document was clear and accurately completed, the
physician's signature was not placed in the designated signature area. This deficient practice could place
residents at risk of delayed or improper care due to inaccurate medical records.The findings include:1.
Record review of Resident #4's admission record revealed a female originally admitted on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included spinal stenosis of the cervical region (narrowing of the
spinal canal in the neck that can compress the spinal cord and nerves causing pain, weakness, or
numbness), heart failure (a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively),
hypertension (persistently elevated blood pressure), encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on
the digestive system (a follow-up medical encounter for care, monitoring, and recovery after a surgical
procedure involving the gastrointestinal tract). and diabetes mellitus (a chronic metabolic disorder
characterized by elevated blood glucose levels). Record review of Resident #4's admission MDS, dated
[DATE], revealed the resident's BIMS score was 15 (fully intact cognition). Section K revealed the resident
had a feeding tube. Record review of Resident #4's care plan, created on 11/20/25 and last revised on
01/01/26, revealed the resident required a feeding tube related to dysphagia and was NPO (nothing by
mouth). The care plan revealed the resident received enteral nutrition and was on EBH precautions related
to the PEG tube, required the head of bed to be elevated and to avoid lying flat while feedings were
running, and required staff to cue and assist with positioning. The care plan further revealed staff were to
provide local care to the G-tube site as ordered, monitor for signs and symptoms of infection, and refer any
feeding pump or care concerns to nursing. During a record review on 1/14/26 at 9:24 a.m. Resident #4 had
a consent in the EHR for medication venlafaxine (an antidepressant medication used to treat depression,
anxiety, and panic disorders by increasing levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain). The consent
was signed and dated by Resident #4 but was blank under the section for the person obtaining permission.
During an observation, interview, and record review on 1/14/26 at 11:13 a.m. ADON C provided a different
copy of Resident #4's Medication consent, dated 1/8/26. The document was blank in the section for
Psychotropic Medication Prescribed, stated it was for depression, the area for the Residents information
indicated she gave verbal consent, and was signed by a person obtaining the permission. ADON C stated
the form should list the medication you are getting consent for so the resident was aware of what the
medication was, what drug category it was in, and what they are consenting to. 2. Record review of
Resident #4's active physician orders, dated 1/13/26, revealed two active orders for Venlafaxine HCl 37.5
mg for depression. One order directed to give one tablet by mouth one time a day, and a second order
directed to give one

Record review of Resident #4's January 2026 Medication Administration Record (MAR)
reflected:-Duloxetine HCl 30 mg (an antidepressant used to treat depression and anxiety) ordered give 1
capsule by mouth one time a day for depression (01/09/26-01/11/26) and also give 1 capsule via PEG-tube
one time a day for depression (beginning 01/12/26). The MAR showed the Duloxetine was administered by
mouth on 1/10/26 and 1/11/26.-Lokelma 10 g oral packet (a potassium-binding medication used to treat
high potassium levels) ordered give by mouth one time a day (01/09/26-01/11/26) and also give via G-tube
one time a day (beginning 01/11/26). The MAR showed the lokelma was administered by mouth on
1/10/26.-Amoxicillin 500 mg (a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections) ordered give by
mouth two times a day (01/10/26-01/11/26) and also give via G-tube two times a day (beginning 01/11/26).
The MAR showed the amoxicillin was administered by mouth twice on 1/12/26 and once on
1/11/26.-Hydroxyzine HCl 10 mg (an antihistamine used to treat anxiety and agitation) ordered give 1 tablet
by mouth every 8 hours as needed for anxiety/agitation (01/05/26-01/11/26) and also ordered give 1 tablet
via G-tube every 8 hours as needed (beginning 01/11/26). The MAR showed hydroxyzine was administered
on 1/5/26 and 1/9/26 by mouth.-Loperamide HCl 2 mg (an antidiarrheal medication used to treat loose
stools) ordered give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed (12/24/25-01/05/26) and also ordered give
1 tablet via PEG-tube every 12 hours as needed (beginning 01/05/26).-Venlafaxine HCl 37.5 mg (an
antidepressant used to treat depression) ordered give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day (01/13/26) and also
ordered give 1 tablet via PEG-tube one time a day (beginning 01/14/26). The MAR reflected Venlafaxine
was never administered. During an interview on 1/14/26 at 10:37 a.m. RN I stated Resident #4 always
received her medication via g tube and not by mouth. RN I stated she had contacted the provider to correct
the orders from by mouth to via peg tube. RN I stated although the resident never took any of the
medications by mouth the orders should reflect via peg tube because the resident could aspirate if taken
orally. During an interview on 1/14/26 at 11:13 a.m. ADON C stated the resident's antidepressant
medication was changed from duloxetine to venlafaxine because it was easier to crush and administer via
her peg tube. ADON C stated Resident #4 never received any medication orally despite what the orders
showed and what was check off as administered on the MAR. ADON C stated after they deactivated the
orders, they would continue to show active for that day but would be discontinued the following day. 3.
Record review of Resident #4's out-of-hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH DNR), dated 11/21/25, revealed
the resident's signature was present in Section A. The form contained a handwritten signature in the
section labeled Attending Physician in the middle portion of the document. The section at the bottom of the
form labeled All persons who have signed above must sign below, acknowledging that this document has
been properly completed contained the resident's signature written across the line for the attending
physician, and the physician signature line in that section was blank. A handwritten arrow was present in
the same section for the attending physician signature to a blank line below. During an interview on 1/13/26
at 4:58 p.m. the SW stated the physicians' signature appeared to be present on the DNR in both sections
required on the DNR. When this surveyor again reviewed the physician signature line remained blank. The
SW stated it could be redone to look better but the DNR was still valid. During an interview on 1/14/26 at
1:42 p.m. the DON stated they did not have a policy for medical record documentation or nursing
documentation. The DON stated she did not think they had a policy for consent but would check. No
policies were provided.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the
development of communicable diseases and infections for 5 of 6 residents (Resident #7, Residents #97,
Resident#34. Resident #144 and Resident #4) reviewed for infection control.1. The facility failed to ensure
CNA D sanitized the pulse oximeter used between Resident #7 and Resident #97.2. The facility failed to
ensure MA E sanitized the blood pressure cuff used between Resident #34 and Resident #144.3. The
facility failed to ensure Resident #4's wound bed did not come in contact with a used bed sheet after it was
cleaned while RN L was performing wound care. 4. The facility failed to ensure CNA J and CNA K did not
hold Resident #4's catheter above bladder level.These failures could place residents at risk for cross
contamination and infection.The findings included:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Record review of Resident #7's face sheet dated 1/13/26 reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included respiratory bronchiolitis
interstitial lung disease, heart failure, and respiratory failure.
Record review of Resident #7's comprehensive care plan with revision date 1/2/26 reflected Resident #7
was at risk of experiencing shortness of breath and required oxygen therapy related to ineffective gas
exchange with interventions that included monitoring for signs and symptoms of respiratory distress and
report to the physician as needed respirations and pulse oximetry.
Record review of Resident #97's face sheet dated 1/13/26 reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included morbid obesity due to excess
calories, hyperlipidemia, and respiratory disorders.
Record review of Resident #97's comprehensive care plan with revision date 12/16/25 reflected the
resident was at risk for significant infections and/or current infections related to compromised medical
condition with interventions that included to monitor vital signs as indicated. Resident #97's comprehensive
care plan reflected the resident was at risk of experiencing shortness of breath.
During an observation on 1/13/26 at 8:19 a.m., CNA D entered Resident #7's room and obtained an oxygen
saturation reading with the pulse oximeter. CNA D exited the room, documented his finding on a sheet of
paper and re-entered the same room and obtained Resident #97's oxygen saturation with the same pulse
oximeter used on Resident #7. CNA D documented his finding on the sheet of paper and walked down the
hall to deliver the sheet of paper to an unidentified male nurse.
2. Observation on 1/13/26 at 8:29 a.m. during the medication pass, revealed MA E placed the wrist blood
pressure cuff around her left wrist and prepared medications for Resident #34. MA E removed the wrist
blood pressure cuff from her left arm and placed it on Resident #34's right wrist. MA E did not sanitize the
wrist blood pressure cuff prior to placing it on Resident #34's right wrist. MA E, after obtaining Resident
#34's blood pressure, removed the wrist blood pressure cuff and placed it on the medication cart counter.
MA E then prepared Resident #144's medications and took the wrist blood pressure cuff and placed it on
Resident #144's left wrist. MA E did not sanitize the wrist blood pressure cuff after using it on Resident #34
or before using it on Resident #144.
During an interview on 1/13/26 at 9:20 a.m., MA E stated, the wrist blood pressure cuff she used was her

sanitizing the wrist blood pressure cuff between residents and was not sure how to do it. MA E stated, I
guess it (blood pressure cuff) would be cleaned between residents because of cross contamination. MA E
stated, if there was cross contamination, the resident could get an infection or pass on an infection to
somebody else.
During an interview on 1/13/26 at 9:26 a.m., CNA D stated he had obtained oxygen saturations on
Resident #7 and Resident #97. CNA D stated that the pulse oximeter used was his personal equipment that
he used throughout the shift. CNA D stated he used a sanitizing wipe to disinfect the pulse oximeter after
he used it on Resident #7 and before he used it on Resident #97. CNA D obtained the package of wipes he
stated he used to sanitize the pulse oximeter from Resident #7 and Resident #97's room and presented a
package of wet wipes use for incontinence care. CNA D stated the wipes were used for incontinence care
and he should have been using the micro kill disinfectant wipes to clean the pulse oximeter instead. CNA D
exited the resident room and went down the hall and presented a container marked, Germicidal Alcohol
Wipes. CNA D stated, the germicidal wipes were supposed to be used to properly disinfect the pulse
oximeter, otherwise there was a risk of cross contamination, and an infection could occur between the
residents. CNA D stated he had received infection control in-service training approximately 2 to 3 weeks
ago.
During an interview on 1/14/26 at 9:14 a.m., the DON stated it was her expectation that medical equipment,
such as pulse oximeters and blood pressure cuffs, should be disinfected prior to use and between residents
to prevent cross contamination and to prevent an infection. The DON stated that incontinent wipes should
not be used to clean medical equipment.
Record review of the facility document titled Cleaning and Disinfecting Non-Critical Resident-Care Items
with revision date June 2011 revealed in part, .The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for
disinfection of non-critical resident-care items.Non-critical items are those that come in contact with intact
skin but not mucous membranes.Non-critical resident-care items include.blood pressure cuffs.Reusable
items are cleaned and disinfected or sterilized between residents.low-level disinfectants for non-critical
items include.ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.phenolic germicidal detergents.
3. Record review of Resident #4's admission record revealed a female originally admitted on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included spinal stenosis of the cervical region (narrowing of the
spinal canal in the neck that can compress the spinal cord and nerves causing pain, weakness, or
numbness), heart failure (a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively),
hypertension (persistently elevated blood pressure), encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on
the digestive system (a follow-up medical encounter for care, monitoring, and recovery after a surgical

and symptoms of infection. The care plan revealed the resident required a urinary catheter and was at risk
for catheter related injury and infection, and staff were to provide catheter care each shift and as indicated,
check tubing for kinks, and maintain catheter safety.
Record review of Resident #4's active physician orders, dated 12/22/25, revealed orders for an 18 French
Foley catheter with a 10 cc balloon to be changed monthly and as needed, an order for the Foley catheter
to be changed every night shift starting on the 15th and ending on the 15th of each month, and an order for
Foley catheter care with perineal wipes and/or soap and water every shift. Record review of Resident #4's
active wound care orders, dated 01/06/26, revealed an order to cleanse the sacral wound with wound
cleanser or normal saline, pat dry, apply Medihoney (a medical-grade honey product used to promote
wound healing and prevent bacterial growth), cover with calcium alginate (an absorbent dressing derived
from seaweed used to manage wound drainage and support healing), and secure with a dry dressing every
day shift for the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine, located between the hip bones, that
forms the back part of the pelvis) and buttocks.
During an observation on 1/13/26 at 9:58 a.m., RN L, wearing clean gloves, was observed cleansing
Resident #4's sacral wound bed from the center outward. RN L removed her gloves, performed hand
hygiene, donned new gloves, and blotted the wound bed with dry gauze when slight bleeding was noted.
RN L then removed her gloves, performed hand hygiene, and donned new gloves again. While RN L was
performing wound care, CNA J was observed assisting to hold the resident in a side-lying position. CNA J
began to allow the resident to roll backward, and the resident's wound bed came into contact with the bed
sheet. RN L then asked CNA J if there was a clean sheet available. CNA J pointed to the bedside table and
stated a clean sheet was available to change out. The resident's wound bed remained in contact with the
bed sheet at that time. RN L then instructed CNA J to reposition the resident to allow full access to the
wound bed. RN L applied Medihoney to the wound bed and secured the dressing. The wound bed was not
cleansed again after it had come into contact with the bed sheet.
During an interview on 1/13/26 at 10:15 a.m., RN L stated she did not notice the wound bed had come into
contact with the bed sheet during wound care. RN L then stated she cleaned the wound bed after it
touched the sheet. When asked what should occur if a wound bed touches a bed sheet, RN L stated the
sheet would be considered contaminated and the wound bed should be cleansed again because it places
the resident at risk for infection.
During an interview on 1/14/26 at 9:05 a.m., the DON stated RN L had informed her that the surveyor
questioned the wound bed touching the bed sheet during wound care. The DON stated RN L reported she
was not aware the wound bed had touched the sheet and stated she had cleaned the wound bed. The DON
stated if a wound bed comes into contact with a bed sheet, staff were expected to cleanse the wound bed
again because it places the resident at risk for infection if not.
Record review of the facility document titled Charge Nurse Proficiency Check Offs for RN L, dated
01/15/2025, revealed she was evaluated and signed off as competent in wound care, G-tube medication
administration, hand hygiene, PPE donning and doffing, and infection control related skills.
Record review of the Wound Care Competency checklist for RN L, dated 01/15/2025, revealed required
steps included: maintaining a clean field, cleansing the wound from inner to outer, removing soiled
dressings, applying topical medications as ordered, applying dressings, and restarting the procedure if any
area became contaminated. The checklist further required staff to maintain a clean field and to start over if
any area was contaminated

4. During an observation on 1/13/26 at 10:05 a.m., CNA J and CNA K were observed providing incontinent
care and catheter care to Resident #4. After care was completed, the aides repositioned the resident in bed
and moved the catheter bag and drainage tubing from the right side of the bed back to the left side where it
had been prior to care. CNA K was observed holding the catheter tubing arm's length in the air while
standing at the bedside to hand it to CNA J. The resident was lying flat in bed at that time.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 1/13/26 at 11:47 a.m., CNA J and CNA K stated they did not notice they had held
the catheter bag and tubing above the resident's bladder during care. CNA J stated the catheter bag and
tubing should not be raised above the bladder because it can become contaminated. CNA K stated she
was not aware of the reason the catheter bag and tubing should not be raised above bladder level. Both
CNAs stated they had received training on catheter care.
Record review of the facility catheter care skills checklist for CNA J, dated 10/21/2025, revealed she was
evaluated and signed off as competent in female catheter care. The checklist specifically required staff to
keep the drainage bag below the level of the bladder during care and repositioning to avoid contamination
and backflow.
