F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan to address the use of 4 side rails for 1 resident reviewed for restraint, of a total sample of 45 residents (#10). Findings: Resident #10's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including quadriplegia, contracture, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, and generalized muscle weakness. The resident's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with Assessment Reference Date of 1/02/23 revealed the resident's cognition was intact, with a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15/15. The resident required extensive assistance with physical assistance for bed mobility and dressing and total dependence with two persons physical assistance for transfer. A physician's order for resident #10 dated 1/02/18 was (4) 1/4 side rails. Review of the Side Rail Screen, completed for the resident in 2013, indicated the type of side rail checked was for Full Rail. The Nursing Quarterly Evaluation, dated 1/10/23, read, Is the resident totally immobile and unable to change position without assistance? The answer was Yes. On 2/06/23 at 11:26 AM, resident #10 sat up in bed. Four side rails were up, with the bilateral bottom side rails padded. On 2/06/23 at 3:36 PM, resident #10 stated he was paraplegic, gets spasms and shakes, and needed 4 side rails up to prevent falls. On 2/07/23 at 4:08 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) D stated resident #10 was awake, alert and oriented, and was able to make his needs known. His diagnoses included quadriplegia, and he required total assistance from staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs).

On 2/07/23 at 4:18 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) E stated resident #10 required total assistance for all his ADLs, and always had 4 side rails in place. On 2/07/23 at 4:23 PM, the East Wing Unit Manager (UM) confirmed that 4 side rails were used for resident #10. When asked if 4 side rails were considered a form of restraint, the UM stated that for the resident it was not considered a restraint. She verbalized that the resident had been using 4 side rails for years, and stated a physician order and care plan was required for the use of 4 side rails. On 2/07/23 at 5:01 PM, and on 2/08/23 at 10:00 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated resident #10's diagnoses included quadriplegia, and the 4 side rails did not restrict his movement.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident's preference to have 4 side rails although he did not move by himself in bed because he had a fear of falling out of bed. The DON stated the use of side rails were reviewed quarterly by the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), and a decision made regarding the use, or continuation of the intervention. The decision would be documented in the resident's clinical record. The resident's care plan ADL self-care performance deficit related to quadriplegia initiated on 11/02/17, with revision on 5/14/21 was reviewed with the DON. Interventions documented were, Resident uses 1/4 side rails up x 2 for (bed mobility, transfers, resident representative request), 1/4 side rails to assist with positioning. The care plan did not identify the resident's reason/preference for 4 side rails, and documentation could not be identified regarding the continued use of 4 side rails for resident #10. This was confirmed by the DON. The care plan contradicted the side rail screen conducted on 1/10/23, which indicated the resident did not use the side rails for positioning, support, or bed mobility. On 2/08/23 at 11:41 AM, resident #10 stated his hands were not good, and he could not use the side rails for positioning. He stated he wanted all 4 side rails up, due to shaking, was afraid of falling out of bed, and he believes the side rails would prevent him from falling. However, this was not reflected in the resident's ADL care plan, and no other care plan could be identified that addressed the use of the 4 side rails. The facility's policy Baseline, Resident Centered Comprehensive Care Plans & Care Plan Summary copyright 2018 read, Comprehensive Care Plans must be developed within 7 days after completion of the comprehensive assessment (Admission, Annual or Significant Change in Status) and review and revise the care plan after each assessment. 105754 Page 8 of 17 105754 02/09/2023 Conway Lakes Health & Rehabilitation Center 5201 Curry Ford Road Orlando, FL 32812
