Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection control practices were maintained during the placement of an indwelling catheter (a flexible tube inserted through the urethra into the bladder for continuously drain urine) connected to a catheter drainage bag (is a medical device that connects to a urinary catheter to collect urine. The key types include leg drainage bags for mobility and a bedside drainage bags for larger, overnight capacity) while in bed and up in wheelchair for two sampled residents (Resident #81 and #12) who were at risk for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI an infection of one or more structures in the urinary system); failed to transcribe detailed comprehensive physician's orders for an indwelling catheter to include the catheter type and size of catheter (size is described using French units (Fr) in diameter and the amount in cubic centimeter (cc) bulb/[NAME] to be inflated to hold catheter in place) for one sampled resident (Resident #81), and failed to ensure a comprehensive indwelling catheter care plan included the type and size of catheter, type of drainage bag to be used and when, and monitoring for catheter bag placement for two sampled residents (Resident #81 and #12) out of 19 sampled residents. The facility resident census was 86 residents. Review of Reference guidelines from medlineplus.gov showed:-The facility was to ensure that residents with indwelling catheters receive appropriate care and maintain their dignity and privacy when indwelling catheters are in use.-Foley catheter leg drainage bags must be always placed below the bladder to allow gravity drainage and prevent urine backflow, which can cause infection. -Leg bags are meant for daytime use (when you can monitor the fullness of the bag).

Review of the facility catheter policy dated 2021 showed: -Leg drainage bags may be used for ambulatory residents or per resident request.-Legs drainage bags may be worn during the day but need to be removed and a bedside drainage bag replaced on the catheter at night.-Legs drainage bags will be attached to the resident's thigh or calf making sure to have slack on the tubing to minimize pressure and tension.
