observations, records reviewed and interviews, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment to prevent
worsening Urinary Tract Infections for one (Resident #2) out of two sampled residents, who had an
indwelling urinary catheter; as evidenced by during hygiene care Resident #2's indwelling urinary catheter
drainage collection bag and tubing were positioned on the bed below the level of the bladder with
backflowing urine noted in the tubing. This deficient practice potentially increases the risk for worsening
urinary tract infection and other severe complications. There were four residents with Urinary Tract
Infections residing in the facility at the time of the survey. The findings included:Observation on 7/21/125 at
1:28 PM revealed Staff C, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) performing hygiene care for Resident #2,
Staff C, CNA positioned the urinary drainage collection bag and tubing between the resident's feet on the
bed (photographic evidence) below the level of the bladder. The surveyor observed back flowing urine in the
tubing and asked Staff C, CNA if it was okay to leave the bag and tubing on the bed. Staff C, CNA replied,
yes, because I emptied it. Staff C, CNA continued with hygiene care leaving the bag and tubing above the
level of the bladder. The surveyor exited the room and informed the Director of Nursing (DON) of the
identified concern.Record review of a demographic sheet revealed Resident #2 was admitted on [DATE]
with diagnosis that included: Bacteriuria (presence of bacteria in urine and can be asymptomatic but If
Bacteriuria is accompanied by symptoms it is classified as a Urinary Tract Infection). Record review of
Resident #2's physician's order sheet revealed an order dated 6/27/25 indicating: Keep dignity bag covered
and attached to urine collection bag below the level of the bladder at all times and order dated 7/14/25 for
Medications ordered included: Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim 800-160 Milligrams (a combination of
antibiotics used to treat infections including urinary tract infections) give one tablet by mouth every 12 hours
for Bacteriuria for 10 Days. During an interview on 7/21/25 at 5:50 PM, the DON revealed the bag should
remain below the level of the bladder to prevent urine reflux which can cause a UTI and Resident #2 had a
current diagnosis for UTI. Record review of the facility's policy for indwelling catheter care date
implemented: 3/2020 Policy: It is the policy of this facility to provide catheter care to all residents that have
an indwelling catheter in an effort to reduce bladder and kidney infections.
