When transport picked them up, s/he was in another room and did not get a chance to double back and finish getting them dressed. Transport sometimes comes early, but will ask if the resident is ready prior to taking them. Since the resident is tube-fed, the nurse has to disconnect it prior to them leaving. Since the nurse had to disconnect it prior to them going, it should have been noted that the resident was not properly dressed. When asked by the surveyor if it would have been realized that the resident was not dressed at any other time prior to leaving the facility, the CNA confirmed that it would have been noticeable, although a sheet was in place. The facility was unable to provide a policy related to dignity, but did provide a list of residents' rights. During an interview with the Director of Nursing on [DATE] at 1:30 PM, s/he stated it is the facility's expectation that when residents leave to go to outside appointments that they are properly dressed. Per the facility's policy titled, Self Determination reviewed on [DATE] at 2:15 PM, it states, Basic Rights - Each resident has the right to a dignified existence, self-determination, and communication with and access to persons and services inside and outside the facility. The facility must provide equal access to quality care regardless of diagnosis, severity of condition or payment source. 2020-09-01
