Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident was observed sitting in a wheelchair in front of a bathroom, wearing only a brief and no shirt, while the door to the hallway was open. During this time, a nurse aide was emptying the resident's urinary catheter bag and preparing to assist the resident further. The resident confirmed that the nurse aide was providing catheter care and preparing to assist with toileting. The Director of Nursing later confirmed that the door to the hallway should have been closed during this care activity. This incident demonstrated a failure to ensure the resident's dignity and privacy during activities of daily living (ADL) care.
