Immediately following the observation, the Maintenance Director confirmed the findings and removed 2 4-5 inch bolsters from the head of bed under the bed frame. He stated that measurements for spacing between the mattresses and headboard/footboard were done annually then he changed it to quarterly. On 10/17/22 at 4:07 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) observed the gap between Resident #63's mattress and headboard. The Maintenance Director notified the NHA that bolsters were found under the bed frame. The NHA stated, at 4:14 p.m. on 10/17/22, that the bolsters had been put at the top and the bottom of the residents mattress and had fixed the issue. The NHA provided on 10/18/22 at 9:00 a.m., a full house audit of mattress and headboard/footboard placements. He identified three findings , however after reviewing the audit, it indicated that 8 beds were found to have issues with gaps between mattresses and headboard and/or footboards. On 10/18/22 at 9:20 a.m., the NHA stated the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had not documented a certain measurement between mattress and head/foot board. The Maintenance Director stated on 10/18/22 at 9:23 a.m. that the x's on the audit were the ones that had needed to be adjusted as many were that the mattresses had slid down. The NHA stated ultimately they (the beds) had all been fixed. A Guide for Modifying Bed Systems and Using Accessories to Reduce the Risk of Entrapment, June 21, 2006, identified that the space between the mattress and headboard was an unmeasured zone but to be used in reference for the reporting of entrapment incidents. The illustrations included with the guidance showed how a human head could become entrapped in the space between mattress and headboard. This information was located at: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/hospital-beds/guide-modifying-bed-systems-and-using-accessories-reduce-risk-entrap According to Reference.com (https://www.reference.com/science/average-size-human-head-62364d028e431bf3), the average human head measures 6-7 inches in width.

Residents Affected - Few Findings included: A review of the admission Record for Resident #101 revealed he was initially admitted into the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included but was not limited to end stage renal disease and dependence on renal dialysis. Section C Cognitive Patterns of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], revealed Resident #101 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 04 out of 15 indicating severe impairment.

She stated they must check it because it can clog up and get infected. Staff Q, LPN, touched the site on the left arm with her fingers and stated you can feel it here. A dressing was on the left arm. She stated she was going to remove the dressing today. Staff Q stated, as a nurse, she knew she had to assess the site. On 10/20/22 at 11:52 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if a resident had a bruit and thrill, they have to assess the site.
