My Dad was in for short term rehab to get strength back from urinary retention and he had a foley catheter put in to help him void while in the Nursing home he had to be rushed to the ER unconscious from sepsis. The medical reports said he had a blocked catheter and a UTI that caused kidney failure he passed away 27 days later in the hospital my Dad was in otherwise good shape. Its even worse the one day we couldn't visit him due to bad weather we called him at 9 30am to check on him and he was slurring already we called nurse station and they said everything is fine don't worry 24 hours later hes being rushed to ER my question is are the nurses responsible for keeping catheter free from being blocked and what about the UTI that caused kidney failure?
