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** Based on
observation, resident and staff interview, record review, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to
ensure an assessment was completed for risk of entrapment prior to the use of side rails. This affected one
(#110) of five residents reviewed for accidents. The facility census was 126.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #110 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a re-entry
date of 04/26/18. Diagnoses included paraplegia, cerebral infarction, and obesity.
Review of 14 day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 08/07/18, revealed the resident had
moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The resident required extensive assistance
from staff for bed mobility, toileting, and personal hygiene. Resident #110 was dependent upon staff for
transfers. A wheelchair was utilized for mobility.
Review of bed safety review assessments, dated 03/23/18 and 04/26/18, revealed Resident #110 had a
trapeze bar, and a half side rail to one side of the bed with the bed against the wall on one side. The
assessment instructed to measure the distance between the headboard and the top of the mattress (no
greater then 2.5 inches) with the findings left blank on both assessments. The assessment also instructed
to measure the distance between the side of the mattress and the side rail where the rail and headboard do
not meet (not to be greater than 4.5 inches), which was also left blank on both assessments. The
assessment instructed staff to stop use if gaps were identified that exceeded the guidelines or if mattress
slides on the frame.
Observation on 08/21/18 at 9:00 A.M. revealed Resident #110 was on a bariatric low air loss (LAL)
mattress with bilateral upper side rails. Gaps were observed between the left side rail and mattress and the
top of the mattress and head board.
Interview on 08/21/18 at 9:00 A.M. at the time of the observation, Resident #110 reported the bed frame
was too big for the mattress, but that was all the facility had to accommodate the bariatric LAL mattress.
Resident #110 stated he/she was able to utilize the side rails to position his/her upper body.
Observation on 08/22/18 at 12:00 P.M. with Maintenance Director (MD) #67 obtained measurements which
revealed the gap between the left side rail and mattress was 4.25 inches and the gap between the mattress
and headboard was 5.50 inches. MD #67 reported the headboard was able to be adjusted which would
decrease the gap to three inches.
Interview on 08/23/18 at 5:47 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) reported the side rail assessment
was not completed and gaps were not measured to assess risks of entrapment for Resident #110 prior to
use of side rails.
Review of facility policy titled Side Rail Assessment and Consent Policy, revised 04/23/18, revealed a side
rail assessment would be completed for use of side rails. In the event a gap between the mattress/bed and
the side rail was greater than 2.5 inches, then gap stops were required to be in
