However, RNS 1 stated there was a lab result of Resident 29's urinalysis indicated that the urine sample was collected on 4/19/2025 and resulted on 4/21/2025 which was positive for bacteria. RNS 1 stated the urine sample for the UA/C&S should have been put in as a STAT (immediately or without delay) order so that the results can be obtained and resident 29's symptoms of dysuria and voiding hesitancy can be treated right away as leaving
the symptoms untreated can lead to worsening infection (when the body is invaded by germs [like bacteria or viruses] that cause problems and make you sick) and sepsis (a life-threatening emergency that arises when
the body's immune system's response to an infection goes into overdrive, causing damage to vital organs). RNS 1 stated the lab results on 4/21/2025 that were positive for bacteria is a change in the resident's condition and the facility should have initiated a COC and notified the physician, RNS 1 stated there was no documented evidence of a COC or physician notification of the urinalysis that was positive for bacteria.

RNS 1 stated the facility process for antibiotics is that the antibiotic order should be carried out as soon as the order is given to ensure that treatment is started on time and prevent adverse effects such as sepsis. RNS 1 stated if the nursing staff is not clear with the order, they need to call the physician to clarify
the order to prevent a delay in the medication administration time.

F 0690 Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 48026
Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, for two of five residents (Resident 29 and Resident 71),
the facility failed to:
1. Label the indwelling catheter (a flexible tube that is used to drain urine in the bladder) bag (a device forcollecting urine) labeled with date and time the facility changed the indwelling catheter bag for Resident 71.
2. Immediately notify a physician of the abnormal lab values for urinalysis (a laboratory test that examines a person's urine to detect any abnormalities or health conditions) and record in the resident's medical record regarding the change in condition evaluation (COC -a noticeable alteration in someone's health or circumstances that could have a significant impact on their well-being or the situation they're in) on 4/21/2025 for Resident 29.
3. Timely administer Ertapenem (an antibiotic - medication used to treat severe infections) 1 gram (GM -unit of measure in weight) intramuscularly (IM - inject medication into a muscle) antibiotics (medicines that fight bacterial infections) leading to a nine-day delay of medication administration for Resident 29 according to physician's order for urinary tract infection (UTI - an infection in the bladder/urinary tract) dated 4/24/2025.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in hospitalization and death for Resident 29 and placed Resident 71 at increased risk of getting a urinary tract infection infection (UTI- is an infection that affects a part of the urinary tract).
