On [DATE] at 9:55 AM, R2 was sitting in a high back wheelchair in their room. A half dollar size light blue
discoloration was visible to R2's right cheek. R2 also had multiple scabbed abrasions in varies sizes to her
forehead. When asked what happened R2 replied that she didn't know.
On [DATE] at 9:10 AM, V11 (CNA) was asked why R2 had bruising on her face and abrasions on her
forehead, and V11 stated that she heard R2 fell out of bed a couple of weeks ago.
On [DATE] at 9:20 AM, V12 (CNA) was asked about the bolster, and she stated that is a mattress to help
her not roll out of bed. V12 stated that hospice had brought this and before that she had a plain air
mattress. She stated that she heard the previous mattress deflated on one side.
On [DATE] at 10:30 AM, phone interview performed with V9 (RN), V9 stated V9 was called to the room and
R2 was lying on the floor. V9 stated that the mattress was deflating on one side. R2 was curled up on the
blankets on one side of the floor. V9 stated that R2 liked to curl up on one side of the bed. R2 had not had
issues with her mattress prior to this. V9 stated that at the top of the mattress there is a plug that can be
unplugged for a need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, (CPR). V9 stated that these plugs often become
unplugged easily and this happens quite often. V9 added that a few times she has been called into rooms
because the mattress is deflating.
On [DATE] at 12:15 PM, interview with V14, Health Information Coordinator. She stated that she worked the
floor last week and was aware of R2's fall. V14 stated that R2 doesn't try to transfer herself. Sometimes in
bed she gets a little wiggly at times. Air mattresses are usually an inflation problem. They are pinching off
the tubing if the bed is raised to high. Maintenance comes and checks it out.
On [DATE] at 12:33 PM V13 (Maintenance Director) was asked about the air mattresses. He stated he has
problems with them all the time. He stated that when they go bad, they order a new one. Many times, it is
due to the resident's positioning with the head or the feet of the bed too high. V13 added that nine times out
of ten, it is a pin hole in the mattress. The facility buys their own air mattresses, and they usually have a
spare one lying around. They leak and deflate air. He is unaware of any specific care instructions. The
process of V13 includes that he has a work order program in place called Tells.com. In Tells.com the staff
put a work order in, and I address. I check the Tells system a minimum of three times per day. Most of the
time the problem is fixed that day. Many times, the air mattress issue is from the positioning of the bed with
the mattress. I had one time that a motor went bad. When asked if air mattresses have a maintenance or
preventative program, he stated they do not.
2. R4's MDS dated [DATE], documents that R4 has some moderate cognitive impairment.
On [DATE] at 11:15 AM, R4 was asked if she has problems with her mattress deflating, she replied that yes
that this happens a lot. They don't do nothing.
3. R5's MDS dated [DATE] documented that he is cognitively intact.
On [DATE] at 11:20 AM, R5 stated that the mattress deflates often. He stated it feels like you're lying on a
bar.
On [DATE] V1, Administrator, provided a daily census and indicated that R5 was interview able.

The air mattress manual provided by facility documents that it is indicted for the prevention and treatment of
all stage pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with a comprehensive pressure ulcer management
program. Included in the manual are entrapment guidelines stating that the use of bed rails is dependent on
the setting as well as the facilities protocols. Proper patient assessment, monitoring, equipment uses, and
maintenance are required to reduce entrapment risk. Make sure the air hoses are not kinked or tucked
under the mattress. Also check to ensure the cardiopulmonary resuscitation, (CPR) valves are properly
attached. It stated that after using for some time (approximately 3 months), clean the air filter cotton inside
the enclosure base, steps as below: 1. Take out air filter cover and air filter cotton. 2. Wash air filter cotton
with clean water, if the dirt sticks to the filter, soak the air filter cotton in the water. 3. Dry the air filter cotton
then put it back to the air filter cover.
