Summary
During an observation of a dressing change for Resident #108, the resident's frontal private area was exposed due to the privacy curtain being only partially drawn around the bed. Present in the room were an LPN, a unit manager, and an unidentified GNA. While the dressing change was ongoing, another unidentified GNA entered the room to collect meal trays, walking past the exposed resident despite being informed by the surveyor that personal care was being provided. The unit manager later acknowledged that staff failed to ensure the resident's dignity and privacy during the procedure. The deficiency was identified based on direct observation and staff interviews, with no further evidence provided by the end of the survey.
