Facility staff not assisting resident with catheter needs.
Based on a review of Resident R1's records, and interviews of the RP, the ED, and Witness W1, no evidence was found that staff members were not assisting Resident R1 with his indwelling catheter needs in accordance with Section 87623 of the Title 22 regulations.
Title 22 Section 87623 states that: "(a) The licensee shall be permitted to accept or retain a resident who requires the use of an indwelling catheter . . . (1) If the resident is physically and mentally capable of caring for all aspects of the condition except insertion and irrigation." and "(b) . . . the licensee shall be responsible for the following: (2) Ensuring that the bag and tubing are changed by an appropriately skilled professional should the resident require assistance." It does not require that the facility provide that level of care to all residents.
Although the allegations may have happened, or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview was conducted with ED. A copy of this report was provided via email. |
