Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a care plan for a resident who was admitted with a diagnosis of urinary retention and required an indwelling urinary catheter. During the survey, the resident was observed with a urinary catheter in place on multiple occasions, but a review of the resident's care plan revealed no documentation or interventions related to catheter care. The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no care plan addressing the urinary catheter and was unable to explain the omission. Facility policy requires a comprehensive, person-centered care plan with measurable objectives and timeframes, including interventions for areas of potential risk, but this was not followed for the resident in question.
