33 PINE LODGE 515001 405 STANAFORD ROAD BECKLEY WV 25801 2019-06-10 690 D 0 1 8Y4111 Based on observation, staff interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure a resident's Foley Catheter drainage tubing was securely anchored. This was true of one (1) of three (3) sample residents reviewed for catheter care. This practice had the potential to effect more than a limited number. Resident identifier: R#68. Facility census: 111. Findings include: Observations of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN#84) providing catheter care to Resident (R#68), on 06/05/19 at 04:13 PM, revealed the Foley catheter drainage tubing was not secured or anchored in anyway. LPN#84 first provided pressure ulcer wound care to R#68 for three (3) different areas on the resident's buttocks prior to providing catheter care. During the provision of care the resident was assisted to turn multiple times from side to side. The Foley catheter drainage tube was not secured to the resident's leg. Observations, during the repositioning of the resident to expose the areas being cared for, revealed strong tension, pulling, and stretching of the drainage tubing was occurring at times. The Foley catheter drainage tube's taut tension, pulling, and stretching had the potential to cause injury to the resident's urethra and urinary meatus. After LPN#84 stated she was finished doing catheter care, this surveyor asked what method the facility used to secure the Foley catheter drainage tube. LPN#84 then acknowledged the resident did not have an anchor device on and should have, and that she also forgot to anchor and secure the tubing when she did the catheter care. LPN#84 confirmed the catheter drainage tubing was supposed to be secured so it did not pull. Review of the facility's Catheter: Indwelling Urinary - Insertion policy revealed #25 stated Ensure the catheter tubing is secured with catheter tube holder or leg strap. Keep the drainage bag below the level of the patient's bladder and off the floor. 2020-09-01
