A resident with urinary retention, BPH, and an indwelling catheter had his urine collection bag left visible from the hallway while he sat in his room.

Resident Urine Collection Bag Visible From Hallway

Summary
The facility failed to maintain a resident's privacy by not keeping his urine collection bag out of public view. Resident #6 was admitted with diagnoses including urinary retention and benign prostatic hyperplasia, and his admission MDS indicated he was cognitively intact and had an indwelling urinary catheter. During observations, he was sitting in a bedside chair in his room with the urine collection bag hanging on the right side of the chair, visible from the hallway, with yellow fluid seen through the transparent side of the bag. Staff, visitors, and other personnel were observed passing the room while the bag remained exposed. The resident stated he preferred that his urine collection bag not be visible to people passing by his room and said he had often noticed it hung in hallway view. A nurse aide stated she knew the bag should have been covered and said she typically covered it with a pillowcase, while also acknowledging she had been trained to cover it during orientation. The occupational therapist said she was not aware the bag should have been out of hallway view and could not recall its location after therapy. A nurse stated she knew the bag should have been covered when the resident was in the hallway but did not consider the urine in the bag needed to be concealed from hallway traffic. The nurse manager confirmed the resident's body fluids should not have been visible from the hallway and stated staff were verbally trained to position the opaque side of the bag outward, but she had not conducted formal training on covering or concealing urine collection bags.
