Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate care for a resident with an indwelling urinary catheter. According to the facility's policy and the resident's care plan, staff were required to perform foley catheter care and monitor urinary output every shift. Physician's orders also specified that catheter care should be completed every shift. However, a review of the resident's Treatment Administration Records for two consecutive months showed no documented evidence that catheter care was performed or that urinary output was monitored as required. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that these tasks should have been completed and documented, but they were not.
