The urinal, bedpan, washbasin and measuring container were observed in the same state as previous observations. RN #3 confirmed the items were stored inappropriately. RN #3 stated all items should be cleaned and stored in bags off of the floor after use.

Wash basin should be labeled with the resident's name and placed in a plastic bag and stored in an appropriate place. Urinals or graduates used for emptying catheter drainage bags should be labeled with the resident's name and placed in a plastic bag and stored in the resident's bathroom. 2020-09-01
