Summary
The facility failed to treat a resident with respect and dignity by not ensuring the resident's urinary drainage bag was covered. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses including heart failure, diabetes, and obstructive uropathy, was observed with an uncovered urinary drainage bag that was visible from the open doorway of his room. This observation was confirmed by the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the urinary drainage bag should have been covered but was not at the time of the surveyor's visit.
