Residents Affected - Some Record review of Resident #72's pain level assessment on 06/29/2024 revealed a pain level of 0.

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 with the Administrator and the DON on 06/30/2024 at 9:38AM, the DON said that Resident #72's doctor told the nurses he will send his paperwork, he did not return from his 06/20/2024 appointment with it. The Administrator and the DON said they were not aware of this situation regarding the facility not following up after the Urologist appointment. The Administrator started on 06/03/2024 and the DON started 05/16/2024 and that they were not aware the follow-up doctor's visit system was broken. They believed the SW was assigned to run the system. The DON said if a resident missed an appointment, it could have caused a delay in care. She also found out that nurses were calling the Urologist's office but not documenting it. Now the facility will send the resident with an envelope to their visit, make sure the doctor's office returns documents, and items needing follow-up back with the resident. If not, the charge nurse will contact the office. The monitoring system will include the DON, the ADON, the Unit Managers, and the SW.

In an interview with the SW on 06/30/2024 at 10:33AM, he said that he used to make specialist appointments, and now nursing will assist him with paperwork and documentation. He said that appointments were to be documented in the electronic medical records. The nursing staff will be in charge of managing the communication and will follow-up with the doctor's office. The appointments and changes in condition would be discussed at the morning meetings, and if there were any issues or concerns, he would let the DON and the ADON know.

In an interview with RN A on 07/02/2024 at 12:09PM, she said that she was in-serviced on reporting changes

in condition to the DON and MD.

Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 6/28/2024 at 2:32pm with the treatment nurse, she said she identified the split during a skin assessment around March or April 2024. She informed the DON, the MDS Nurse, the family representative, and the doctor. The doctor wrote an order for the resident to see a urologist and wait for their recommendations. The nurse said the resident's penis had a little opening, but no redness and the resident told her he was not in pain then. Resident #72 has never told the nurse he felt pain from the slit. The treatment nurse said she always made sure that Resident #72 had the catheter strap. She said since she noticed the slit it has remained that way, although she has not measured the slit length. The nurse said she knew that there was a urology appointment scheduled but she did not know if Resident #72 made it to that appointment. She never noticed blood in the urine and the resident never mentioned blood in the urine.

In an interview on 6/28/2024 at 3:20pm with the treatment nurse, after measuring she stated she did not know the slit was that long.

In an interview with the DON on 6/28/24 at 3:30 PM, regarding resident urologist consult from 3/14/24 3/30/24 for hematuria, consult for slit on penis on 4/30/24 and 5/2/24.

The DON said every staff should wash their hands before and after every care. He said gloves should be changed and the hands should be sanitized after cleaning the resident's buttocks or the resident's front part before touching the any clean items. He said not washing the hands, not changing the gloves, and not sanitizing the hands in between changing of gloves could result to cross contamination and infection. The DON also added if the brief had fallen to the floor, it should not be used anymore for a simple reason that it was already dirty. The DON said

the expectation was for the staff to remember to wash their hands and change their gloves when transitioning from a dirty area to a clean area, sanitize their hand when changing their gloves, and not to use items that had fallen to the floor. The DON said he already did a one-on-one in-service with CNA D but would do an infection control in-service for all the staff.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm In an interview with MA D on 6/27/24 at 10:46 AM, she said CNA did a good job only she did not change gloves and she used the same gloves throughout the procedure. She was supposed to change gloves from Residents Affected - Some soiled to dirty or use hand sanitizer.

He said gloves should be changed and the hands should be sanitized after cleaning the resident's buttocks or the resident's front part before touching the any clean items. He said not washing the hands, not changing the gloves, and not sanitizing the hands in between changing of gloves could result to cross contamination and infection. The DON also added if the brief had fallen to the floor, it should not be used anymore for a simple reason that it was already dirty. The DON said

the expectation was for the staff to remember to wash their hands and change their gloves when transitioning from a dirty area to a clean area, sanitize their hand when changing their gloves, and not to use items that had fallen to the floor. The DON said he already did a one-on-one in-service with CNA D but would do an infection control in-service for all the staff. He concluded that he would continually remind the staff to be attentive to the procedures for infection control and that he would personally monitor infection control.
