Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) was free
from the use of physical restraints (any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material or
equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which
restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one's body) in accordance with the facility policy. On
10/3/24, Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 3 wrapped Resident 1's torso (the main part of the body that
contains the chest, stomach, pelvis, and back) with a white sheet as an abdominal binder (a wide
compression belt that encircles the stomach) preventing resident's normal access to his torso.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 1's physical and psychological
wellbeing and quality of life.
Cross reference with F609.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Records indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (weakness to one side of the body)
and hemiparesis (inability to move one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (stroke - damage to
the tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area) affecting right dominant side, and dementia
(loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere
with daily life).
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical Examination (H&P) dated 4/27/24, the H&P indicated
Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 7/30/24, indicated Resident 1 was cognitively (a mental process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper
does more than half the effort) from staff for upper body dressing and personal hygiene and was totally
dependent on staff for lower body dressing, shower/bathe self, and toilet hygiene.
During a concurrent review of the facility's record titled Progress Notes, dated 10/8/24 at 18:36 PM,
indicated on 10/3/24 at 11:15 PM, the progress notes indicated, Resident 1's torso was wrapped with a
white sheet as an abdominal binder (a wide compression belt that encircles the stomach). The progress
notes indicated, Resident 1 tend to self-scratch, so the nursing staff was trying to prevent this from
occurring and the incident took place while charge nurse was making her round.

During a telephone interview with CNA 3 on 10/10/24 at 1:32 PM, CNA 3 stated she used the white sheet
to tuck Resident 1's stomach to prevent the resident's access to her abdominal area and from scratching
herself, or pulling her gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a small tube that is surgically inserted through the
abdominal wall and into the stomach to provide nutrition, fluids and medicine), and/or pull the incontinent
brief.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview with License Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 on 10/10/24 at 2:14 PM. LVN 2 stated,
Resident 1 was confused and had episodes of trying to pull the resident's G-tube and incontinent brief. LVN
2 stated she observed a white sheet wrapped around Resident 1's stomach on 10/3/24 at 11:15 PM. LVN 2
stated CNA 3 confirmed to LVN 2 that CNA 3 used the white sheet to wrap Resident 1's abdominal area/
torso to prevent the resident from accessing the resident's abdominal area.
During a concurrent record review of Resident 1's medical record and interview with Registered Nurse (RN)
1 on 10/10/24 at 3:25 PM, RN 1 stated Resident 1 had episodes of removing or pulling out her G-tube, and
the resident had the tendency to scratch herself. RN 1 stated the CNA 3 was not supposed to wrap
Resident 1's torso with a white sheet as a convenience to prevent resident from pulling out the resident's
G-tube or scratching self.
During an interview with the Administrator (ADM) on 10/10/24 at 4:18 PM, the ADM stated the staff should
follow facility policies to obtain physician's order, assessment, and consent for the use of physical restraint if
needed. The ADM stated, any restraints should be a medical necessity, and not as a convenience to the
staff.
During review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Restraints, dated 3/27/24, the purpose of the
policy was to ensure that all restraints were used properly and only when necessary for residents in the
facility. The policy indicated that the facility honors the resident's right to be free from any restraints that are
imposed for reasons other than that of treatment of the resident's medical symptoms. Restraints required a
physician order and were used as a last resort to be used only when deemed necessary by the
Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a group of health care professional with various areas of expertise who work
together toward the goals of their residents), and in accordance with the resident's assessment and Plan of
Care.
