Summary
Facility staff failed to provide complete incontinence care for a resident with a primary diagnosis of unspecified cord compression, who had a history of urinary tract infections and was receiving antibiotics for this condition. During observed incontinence care, a CNA cleansed, rinsed, and dried the resident's inner and outer labia but did not clean the groin or buttocks area, which was acknowledged as incomplete by the CNA when questioned. The resident reported feeling strange and had started a new antibiotic for another urinary tract infection on the same day. The facility's policy requires all soiled skin areas, especially between skin folds, to be washed and dried thoroughly during incontinence care.
