During an interview, on 8/29/25 at 11:05 a.m., RN 5 indicated when a urinary catheter was removed, the resident should go no longer than eight hours to void.

She would follow the physician's orders on what actions should be taken if the resident did not void. If the correct size of the catheter was not available, she would use a smaller size catheter and get an order from the physician.

Catheter supplies were kept in the large storeroom or sometimes in the tiny storeroom where a few supplies are also stored.

The Scheduler was responsible for ordering and ensuring medical supplies were available.

During an interview, on 8/29/25 at 11:51 a.m., the Unit Manager indicated when a resident had a foley catheter removed she would follow the physician's orders.

She would expect the resident would need to have a catheter anchored in eight hours if the resident had not voided.

During an interview, on 8/29/25 at 12:00 p.m., the Scheduler indicated she tried to keep one of every size of catheter in stock at the facility.

They discussed in morning meeting when a new admission came in what needs the resident had such as sizes of catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomy supplies.

During an interview, on 8/29/25 at 1:46 p.m., the DON indicated when a catheter was removed, per standard practice, the resident would need to be catheterized in eight hours or per the physician's orders if the resident did not void.

The resident had declined the catheter earlier, and the nurse had to get a new order because she did not have the correct catheter size.

She was uncertain if the nurse could not find the correct size catheter or if it was not available.

During an interview, on 8/29/25 at 2:43 p.m., the DON indicated she had procedure steps for catheter care and emptying a urinary drainage bag.

The facility did not have any additional policies for urinary catheters.

According to the National Library of Medicine website from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) accessed on 8/29/25 at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK596722/, .When removing an indwelling urinary catheter, it is considered a standard of practice to document the time and track the time of the first void.

This information is also communicated during handoff reports. If the patient is unable to void within 4-6 hours and/or complains of bladder fullness, the nurse determines if incomplete bladder emptying is occurring according to agency policy.

The ANA [American Nurses Association] has made the following recommendations to assess for incomplete bladder emptying: The patient should be prompted to urinate. If urination volume is less than 180 mL, the nurse should perform a bladder scan to determine the post-void residual. A bladder scan is a bedside test performed by nurses that uses ultrasonic waves to determine the amount of fluid in the bladder. If a bladder scanner is not available, a straight urinary catheterization is performed.
