Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, medical record review, facility policy review and staff interview the facility failed to
ensure residents in reclined wheelchairs had physician's orders in place for use and were appropriately
assessed to determine appropriate indication for use. This affected one resident (Resident #4) of one
resident reviewed for possible physical restraint use. The facility identified no current residents utilizing
physical restraints. The facility census was 70.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Observations of Resident #4 from 03/27/23 to 03/30/23 revealed the resident utilized a reclining tilt in space
wheelchair (a wheelchair with a tilt feature permitting the whole chair to tilt 30 to 60 degrees while
maintaining knees at a 90 degree angle).
Review of Resident #4's medical record revealed an admission date of 08/01/18 with diagnoses that
included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peripheral vascular disease and hypertension.

02/27/23 identified no use of any type of physical restraint. The resident had a severely impaired cognition
level and required extensive to total assistance with all activities of daily living.
Further review of the medical record for Resident #4 found no evidence of any physician's order for use of a
reclining tilt in space wheelchair.
Review of Resident #4's assessments including the Safety Device Data Collection and Evaluation

space wheelchair.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 03/29/23 at 3:50 P.M. revealed Resident #4 uses the reclined tilt in
space wheelchair for comfort and positioning as an enabling device, not a physical restraint. She also
verified no physician's order for use of the reclined tilt in space wheelchair or assessment to determine if
the device is a restraint or an enabling device.
Review of the facility policy Restraints with a review/revise date of 01/02/22 revealed restraints shall only be
used for the safety and well-being of the resident and only after other alternatives have been tried
unsuccessfully. Restraints shall only be used upon the written order of a physician

behaviors negatively affecting self or other residents, the Behavioral Management team would explore the
root cause of behaviors/mood, would identify target behaviors, and develop an individualized plan of care.
