RN A and PT B failed to ensure Resident #1's foley catheter bag was covered while in common areas of the facility.

She required extensive assist with toileting and transfers. She had an indwelling catheter. An observation on 05/15/2023 at 10:10AM revealed PT B was providing Resident #1 physical therapy services in the therapy gym. PT B was observed sitting on a chair to the front and side of Resident #1. Resident #1's foley catheter bag was hanging, uncovered, on the front right side of her electric wheelchair. The bag was approximately half full of urine and in full view of other residents and staff in the gym. Seven other residents were observed in the gym receiving services during this time. An interview on 05/15/2023 at 10:49AM with Resident #1 revealed RN A helped her to get ready for therapy today. She stated RN A hung her foley bag on the front of her electric wheelchair and she went to therapy on her own. Resident #1 said neither RN A nor PT B asked her about the catheter bag being exposed.

She said she did have some covers but did not think to ask the nurse to put one on.
