Inspection Findings

FF580
Immediate further direction and to notify the physician of any missed appointments. Some Record review of Resident #72's pain level assessment on 06/29/2024 revealed a pain level of 0. affected

The facility failed to assess, follow-up with treatment, update the care-plan, obtain new order due to a change in resident # 72's skin condition of the groin and resident's report of pain, at which time the penis split measured 8 cm length by 1 cm width by .4 cm depth and appeared red and raw, and failed to ensure that Resident #72's indwelling catheter (drains urine from your bladder into a bag outside your body) had a securement device to anchor catheter.

2.

The facility failed to ensure that CNA B changed her gloves and perform hand hygiene while providing indwelling catheter and incontinent care to Resident #72.

On 6/28/24 at 5:44PM an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified.

While the IJ was removed on 6/30/2024 at 12:27 pm, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity of harm with potential for more than the minimal harm that was not an immediate jeopardy due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their Plan of Removal.

3.

The facility failed to ensure CNA G and CNA H did not place foley bag on Resident #54's bed during foley and incontinent care.

These failures could affect residents in delay of appropriate medical treatment leading to pain, discomfort, and death.

Findings included:

Resident #72

Record review of a facility face sheet dated 6/26/2024 indicated Resident # 72 was a [AGE] year-old male and admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left dominant side (paralysis of partial or total body function on one side of the body, whereas hemiparesis is characterized by one?sided weakness, but without complete paralysis), obstructive and reflux uropathy (the urine backs

up into the kidney and cannot drain through the urinary tract), chronic kidney disease, major depressive disorder, neurogenic bladder (nerves that communicate between the bladder and spinal cord and brain malfunction and cause symptoms such as dribbling urine, loss of feeling the bladder is full and being unable to control urine), muscle wasting and atrophy (wasting away of tissue or organ).

Record review of a Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #72 had a BIMS score of 09 indicating moderately impaired cognition, and he required an indwelling catheter.

The surveyors confirmed the plan of removal had been implemented sufficiently to remove the IJ by the following:

Observation and interview on 6/30/2024 at 11:00 am with Resident #72 was sitting in wheelchair eating a snack. He was well-groomed with no odors. Resident #72 said he is feeling okay but wondered why it took the facility so long to address his catheter. He said he was now afraid of an infection from his stoma to g-tube. Resident #72 raised his shirt at that time and a small pea-sized area was observed in what appeared to be a white cream. Resident #72 consented for the DON to come assess him with another staff member. He was then transported back to his room.

The DON later came and said that the white substance was not an infection but a cream that they used to treat the stoma called theravox, which was confirmed by viewing the container and conducting a record review of Resident #72's physician orders.

In an interview on 6/29/2024 at 10: 20 AM RN A said she had been working with the facility for 8 months 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM shift.

She had in-services on incontinent care, indwelling catheter care, securing catheter, hanging foley bag below the bladder, and reporting any abnormalities to the charge nurse like skin irritation. If there were any changes in the site notify the NP and check indwelling catheter every shift.

They were assessing catheter before daily but now every shift and for any slit to the penis they should document in the progress note.

In an interview on 6/29/2024 at 10: 49 AM LVN A said she had been working with the facility for 1 year on the 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM shift.

She had in-services on incontinent care, indwelling catheter placement, securing the catheter, and reporting any abnormalities to the doctor like skin irritation and document.
