Summary

A resident with diagnoses including neurogenic bladder, aphasia, cerebral palsy, seizure disorder, and anxiety disorder, who was severely cognitively impaired and always incontinent of bladder, was observed sitting in a wheelchair with urine visibly streaming from the seat onto the floor, creating a large puddle. Staff, including a Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) and an LPN, were present but did not provide incontinence care at the time, with the QMA stating that CNAs were busy and the resident required a mechanical lift. Instead, the area was cleaned by housekeeping while the resident remained in the soiled condition. The facility was unable to provide a policy regarding incontinence care when requested.
