Facility staff told the family the MD would be consulted re: ordering antibiotic therapy. On 9/30/21, the lab reported Resident #167's urine sample was contaminated. Another urine sample was collected but not sent to the lab. Resident #167 was transferred to the hospital on 10/5/21 and the hospital MD informed the family Resident #167 was in grave condition as result of this infection. The Comprehensive Care Plan (CCP) related to FC, initially discontinued 8/23/21 and resumed on 9/10/21, documented Resident #167 had a foley catheter. Staff were to provide catheter care each shift and report changes in urine features to the Medical Doctor (MD).

The MD stated they were surprised there was no documentation in Resident #167's medical record re: the lab report or urine specimen collection. On 08/10/22 at 12:00 PM, an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) who stated time of urine collection and pick up is documented in the resident's chart, the supervisor notes, and endorsed to the incoming shift to follow up.
