F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Interview on 08/13/2025 at 03:13 PM the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Side rail padding is in place for a resident with a seizure diagnosis to ensure safety. Nurse managers oversee the unit, while restorative staff occasionally conduct assessments. The current side rail paddings are loose because the straps are not secured close enough to the rails, and the pads are incorrectly positioned on the outside of the railing. The team is exploring better product options. There have been no incidents where the paddings failed to protect the patient during a seizure. An order is not required for side rail padding, as its use is based on nursing judgment. Interview on 08/14/2025 at 02:43 PM with Staff K, Registered Nurse (RN) stated Yes, my patient has side rail padding. The straps should be secured properly to keep the padding in place. The purpose of the pads is to protect the patient from injury. With the padding on, three side rails should be up and one down. I make sure the padding is secure by checking that all straps are tight and correctly positioned. Record Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Bed Safety & Bedrails 07/08/2024 indicate: f. Siderails may be padded for safety and/or appropriate diagnosis e.g. seizure.
