Summary
The facility failed to maintain resident privacy during medication administration for one resident. During an observation, an LPN administered medications through a G-Tube while the resident's nightgown was pulled up, exposing the resident's legs, incontinence care product, and stomach. The resident was visible from the hallway because the door and privacy curtain were not closed. The LPN confirmed during an interview that the resident was exposed and acknowledged that the door and/or privacy curtain should have been closed to maintain privacy during the procedure.
