F 0691 Provide appropriate colostomy, urostomy, or ileostomy care/services for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 43791

Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents who require colostomy, urostomy, or ileostomy services, receive such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the resident's goals and preferences for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #5) reviewed for ostomy care.

The facility failed to assist Resident #5 with colostomy care resulting in her colostomy leaking.

This failure could place the resident at risk of skin irritation and breakdown from exposure to fecal matter.

Findings included:

Record review of Resident #5's undated Admission Record reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses which included stroke affecting the rights side of her body, legal blindness, and rectal cancer requiring the creation of a colostomy (opeing in the intestines to allow feces to drain into a bag).

Record review of Resident #5's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED] reflected a BIMS score of 10 indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Her Functional Status reflected she required set-up and clean up assistance with her toileting hygiene. Her Bowel and Bladder assessment indicated she had an ostomy.

Record review of Resident #5's care plan, dated 12/22/24, reflected she had a visual impairment related to being legally blind, and ADL self-care deficit related to paralysis, and had an ostomy.

Interview on 02/11/25 at 9:50 AM with Resident #5 revealed she often had to change her briefs because the staff took too long to respond to her call light. Resident #5 stated she thought staff knew if they waited, she would do it herself. She stated she did need staff assistance to make sure she was completely clean, and

she needed assistance with applying her colostomy bag to make sure it was on properly to prevent it leaking. Resident #5 stated in the evening on 02/07/25 her colostomy bag was leaking, and she was trying to clean up with her wipes. She stated CNA B answered her call light and told her he would have to get the nurse to help her. She stated LVN A came to the resident's room and told her she could not help the resident because she was the only nurse monitoring the evening meal in the dining area. She stated LVN A put a new colostomy bag on the resident's overbed table and left. Resident #5 stated she waited for about 20 minutes, and no one came to help her, so she applied the bag herself and cleaned herself up. She stated she must not have applied it correctly because later that evening the bag began to leak again. She stated a nurse from

the night shift helped her secure the bag properly.

F 0691 Interview on 02/11/25 at 3:25 PM with LVN A revealed she was called to Resident #5's room by CNA B from

the dining area where she was monitoring the evening meal. LVN A stated Resident #5 told her she needed Level of Harm - Minimal harm or a new colostomy bag, so she put one on the resident's table. LVN A told her she could not help because she potential for actual harm had to get back to the dining area. LVN A stated there was a second nurse on the hall, who was supposed to care for the residents, while she was in the dining area. LVN A stated she did not notify the other nurse that Residents Affected - Few Resident #5 needed help. LVN A stated she did not follow-up with Resident #5 when she returned from the dining area.

Interview on 02/11/25 at 3:28 PM with LVN C revealed she had not been made aware of Resident #5 needing assistance with her colostomy. She stated LVN A never had a conversation with her on 02/07/25, and the interview with the surveyor was the first she time she had been made aware of the situation.

Interview on 02/12/25 at 10:35 AM with the DON revealed his expectation of the nurses would be if they could not assist a resident right away, they should have a conversation with their teammate and ask them to assist the resident. He stated that was why they had two nurses on the hall. The DON stated skin exposure to fecal matter could quickly lead to skin irritation and skin breakdown.

Record review of the facility's Ostomy Care policy, dated 2003, reflected:

.Goals

1. The resident will maintain continuous or intermittent drainage via bowel diversion without complications.

2. The resident will complete/receive correct and proper care of stoma, skin, and collection procedures.
