Staff instructed him to hang the urinary catheter bag on the trash can labeled for catheter use only. He indicated the trash can designated for his catheter was sometimes used by staff to discard trash before leaving his room, instead of his regular trash can. On 8/6/25 at 1:00 P.M., Resident 2's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, obstructive uropathy.
