Summary
The facility failed to revise the comprehensive care plan for one resident following the initiation of a new physician's order for a Foley catheter due to urinary retention related to bladder cancer. Observation revealed the resident had a urinary collection bag in use, and clinical records confirmed an active order for the indwelling catheter. However, review of the resident's care plans showed that the intervention of an indwelling Foley catheter was not included, despite existing care plans addressing urinary retention, incontinence, chronic kidney disease, and urinary tract infection. This omission was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing.
