Review of the CNA documentation did not show documentation Resident #81 received his scheduled
showers.
On 4/11/24 at 10:02 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said the CNAs document showers
on a shower sheet that is given to the nurse. Once the nurse reviews the shower sheet, it is shredded.
The DON provided four CNA shower sheets documenting Resident #81 received a shower on 12/11/23,
1/23/24, 2/2/24 and 2/14/24. The DON said, That is all I have.
2. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #303 had a readmission date of 3/13/24 with diagnoses
including bipolar disorder, lung cancer with metastasis to the brain status post chemoradiation.
The care plan initiated 4/10/24 documented the resident had a self-care performance deficit related to a
stroke, terminal illness, and pain.
On 4/8/24 at 10:08 a.m., during an observation and interview, Resident #303 was in her bed, her fingernails
extended approximately half an inch with a sticky substance under the nails and on the thumb and index
fingers of the left hand. The resident said it was blood from her nose. Resident #303 said she had been
picking her nose and it had bled. No active bleeding was observed at this time. She said she did not know
when she was supposed to get a shower and could not remember the last time she had a shower.
Review of the facility shower list revealed the resident was scheduled for showers on the 3:00 p.m., to 11:00
p.m., shift on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Review of the CNA documentation, the electronic record and the paper chart for Resident #303 revealed no
documentation of showers provided for the resident. The facility was unable to locate any documentation
the resident received her scheduled showers.
On 4/11/24 review of the CNA Care [NAME] (provided instructions for care) updated on 4/10/24 showed
Resident #303's showers were scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and hospice was to
provide the showers.
Review of the electronic record and the paper chart showed no documentation of a Hospice Care Plan or
hospice aide documentation of showers provided to the resident.
On 4/11/24 at 10:04 a.m., in an interview the DON said the facility had contacted the Hospice to request
the aide shower documentation and the care plan. They are getting it together and are going to send it to
us. The DON confirmed there was no documentation at this time that showed the resident received her
scheduled showers.

their time in their room. She said because the activity department did not have activities for residents who
only speak Creole, she had put a radio/CD player in Resident #51's and Resident #82's rooms with Creole
music on CDs, so the activity staff could play Creole music for Residents #51 and #82 as written in their
activity plan of care.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2.
Observation of Resident #100's bed on 4/8/24 at 11:16 a.m., revealed she had 2 quarter side rails on each
side of her bed in the up position. On 4/8/24 at 11:16 a.m., during an interview with Resident #100, she
said when she moved to this room and bed, the bed had 2 siderails attached to the bed. She said she told
the staff she did not need the siderails on the bed, but they never took the siderails off the bed as asked.
She said she was never told the risks and benefits of the use for the side rails.
Review of Resident #100's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was
transferred to another room on 3/4/24. The admission Nursing Comprehensive Evaluation, dated 2/22/24,
noted in section 9 (Siderails/Enablers/Restraints) that for Resident #100, siderails were not required.
Further documentation revealed there were no physician orders documented for the use of siderails on
Resident #100's bed.
Review of the facility's Proper Use of Bed Rails policy and procedures noted it was not dated. The policy
stated the facility would utilize a person-center approach when staff determined the use of bed rails. As part
of the resident's comprehensive assessment, the following components would be considered when
determining the resident's needs, and whether or not the use of bed rails met those needs. The resident
assessment must include an evaluation of the alternatives that were attempted prior to the installation or
use of a bed rail. The resident assessment must also assess the resident's risk for using bed rails, the
potential risks with the use of the bed rails-to include accident/hazards, the barrier for a resident safely
getting out of the bed, and the risk of entrapment between the mattress and the bed rail or in the bed rail
itself.
On 4/10/24 at 9:25 a.m., in an interview with the Interim Director of Nursing (DON) and Vice-President of
Clinical Services (VPCS), they confirmed Resident #100 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was
transferred to another room on 3/4/24. They said when Resident #100 was transferred to another room, the
bed in that room had siderails which were not removed prior to Resident #100's transfer. They said
Resident #100 was never assessed for the risk of entrapment nor explained the risks and benefits with the
use of side rails on her bed. They also confirmed they did not have a physician's order for the use of side
rails on Resident #100's bed as required.
Based on observation, review of facility policies and procedures, staff and resident interviews, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure 3 (Residents #24, #42 and #100) of 29 residents with bed rails were
assessed for alternative interventions prior to the use of bed rails, and failed to ensure residents were
assessed for danger of entrapment prior to use of bed rails. In addition, the facility failed to inform the
residents and/or their representative of the risks and benefits of bed rails or obtain an informed consent
prior to use of the bed rails.
The findings included:
The facility policy Proper Use of Bed Rails documented, Appropriate alternative approaches are attempted
prior to installing or using bed rails. If bed rails are used the facility ensures correct installation, use and
maintenance of the rails. The resident assessment must include an evaluation of the alternatives that were
attempted prior to the installation or use of a bed rail and how these alternatives failed to meet the
residents' assessed needs. The resident assessment should assess the

resident's risk of entrapment between the mattress and the bed rail or in the bed rail itself. Entrapment is an
event in which a resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail.
Informed consent from the resident or resident representative must be obtained after appropriate
alternatives have been attempted prior to installation and use of bed rails the information should be
presented in an understandable manner and consent given voluntarily free from coercion.
The information that the facility should provide to the residents or resident representatives includes but is
not limited to what assessed medical needs would be addressed by the use of the bedrails the residents'
benefits from the use of the bed rails and the likelihood of these benefits period the residents risk from the
use of the bed rails and how these risks will be mitigated. Alternatives attempted that failed to meet the
residents' needs and alternatives considered but not attempted because they were considered to be
inappropriate.
The facility will ensure the correct installation and maintenance of bed rails prior to use. This includes
checking with the manufacturer to make sure the bed rails mattress and bed frames are compatible.
Confirming that the bed rails are appropriate for the size and weight of the resident using the bed.
Inspecting and regularly checking the mattress and bed rails for areas of possible entrapment. Checking
bed rails regularly to make sure they are still installed correctly and have not shifted or loosened overtime.
Conducting routine preventive maintenance of the bed rails and beds to ensure they meet current safety
standards and are not in need of repair.
