This affected one resident (Resident #28) of two residents reviewed for abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The facility reported one resident (Resident #28) who had physical restraints. The facility census was 66. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #28 revealed an admission date of 11/12/12. Diagnoses included respiratory failure, cord compression, dependence on respiratory ventilator status, encounter for attention to tracheostomy, encounter for attention to gastrostomy, severe intellectual disabilities, spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, malignant neuroleptic syndrome, unspecified convulsions, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, abnormal involuntary movements, and major depressive disorder. Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 09/14/22, revealed Resident #28 had severely impaired cognition. Resident #28 was dependent on two staff assistance for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, and bathing, and was dependent on one staff assistance for eating.

F 0604 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the physician's order dated 04/27/19 revealed bilateral wrist restraints as needed, check every 30 minutes, and release every two hours for ten minutes for ROM and care for interfering with life sustaining devices. Review of Resident #28's enabler/device/restraint evaluation dated 09/14/22 revealed the bilateral wrist restraints were used for signs and symptoms of interfering with life sustaining devices to prevent the interruption of life sustaining devices. In part two of the evaluation the bilateral wrist restraints were assessed to restrict Resident #28's freedom of movement or normal access to one's body and Resident #28 was unable to remove the devices on command. The bilateral wrist restraints were indicated as an assistance in the improvement of Resident #28's functional status or necessary to enhance compliance with physician's treatment plan. The evaluation determined the bilateral wrist restraints were both an enabler and a restraint, and to follow the restraint protocol. In part three of the evaluation the bilateral wrist restraints were assessed as a device used to treat medical symptoms. The evaluation determined to follow restraint protocol. In the restraint protocol of the evaluation, Resident #28 was determined to need the bilateral wrist restraints for pulling on the tube feed tubing and dislodging set and pulling and disconnecting ventilator tubing. The bilateral wrist restraints restricted Resident #28's freedom of movement and it was concluded as a restraint and to proceed with protocol. This device was the least restrictive device. Previous interventions tried included suctioning, lighting change, tracheostomy care, movies, distraction, medications, tube feeding binder, tubing out of reach, and repositioning. Alternatives did not work due to Resident #28 wiggled around in bed until items were within reach and hand mitts were removeable. Review of the treatment administration record for October 2022 revealed Resident #28 had bilateral wrist restraints applied as ordered on 10/12/22, 10/15/22, 10/17/22 and on 10/23/22. Review of the orders administration note dated 10/12/22 at 3:58 A.M. revealed the physician order for bilateral wrist restraints was applied for Resident #28 pulling at tube feeding and ventilator tubing. One-on-one was ineffective. Review of the medical record including progress notes for Resident #28 revealed there was no documented evidence of the monitoring and evaluation for the use of bilateral wrist restraints applied on 10/12/22 at 3:58 A.M. and when removed. Review of the orders administration note dated 10/15/22 at 2:51 P.M. revealed the physician order for bilateral wrist restraints was applied for Resident #28's restlessness in bed, moving arms and legs around rapidly, pulling at ventilator circuit tubing three times in previous hour causing disconnections, pulling at enteral feeding tube line despite repositioning, distraction with television and stuffed animals which were all ineffective. Review of the orders administration note dated 10/15/22 at 6:52 P.M. revealed the physician order for bilateral wrist restraints was effective. Review of the medical record including progress notes for Resident #28 revealed there was no documented evidence of the monitoring and evaluation for the use of bilateral wrist restraints applied on 10/15/22 at 2:51 P.M. and if removed at 6:52 P.M, and the signs and symptoms present to validate the reapplication of the bilateral wrist restraints once released for ten minutes after the first two hours or if the reapplication took place.

Review of the orders administration note dated 10/17/22 at 1:11 P.M. revealed the physician order for bilateral wrist restraints was effective. Residents Affected - Few Review of the medical record including progress notes for Resident #28 revealed there was no documented evidence of the monitoring and evaluation for the use of bilateral wrist restraints applied on 10/17/22 at 1:11 P.M. and when removed. Review of the orders administration note dated 10/23/22 at 12:36 P.M. revealed the physician order for bilateral wrist restraints was applied for Resident #28's restlessness in bed, moving arms and legs around rapidly, pulling at ventilator circuit tubing three times in previous hour causing disconnections, pulling at enteral feeding tube line despite repositioning, distraction with television and stuffed animals which were all ineffective. Review of the orders administration note dated 10/23/22 at 2:37 P.M. revealed the physician order for bilateral wrist restraints was effective. Review of the medical record including progress notes for Resident #28 revealed there was no documented evidence of the monitoring and evaluation for the use of bilateral wrist restraints applied on 10/23/22 at 12:36 P.M. and if removed at 2:37 P.M. Interview on 10/26/22 at 2:05 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON), Corporate DON #701 and Corporate Nurse #702 verified there was no documentation for Resident #28's bilateral wrist restraints to clearly indicate start of application and removal to identify length of time in use and if or when released, and assessments which occurred during use of the restraint. Interview and observation on 10/27/22 at 8:38 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #703 of Resident #28's bed revealed two wrist restraints attached to the moveable portion of the bedframe, one restraint secured to the right bedframe and one secured to the left bedframe. Observation of Resident #28's bilateral wrists revealed the wrist restraints were not applied at the time. Interview at the time of the observation with LPN #703 verified the bilateral wrist restraints were attached to Resident #28's bed and prepared for use as needed. LPN #703 stated when the restraints were used, the purpose was documented in the progress notes including assessments when performing 30 minute checks, releases, re-applications, and skin checks. LPN #703 confirmed Resident #28 did not like to have the restraints on so they had to be removed when it bothered Resident #28. LPN #703 verified not always documenting the checks or assessments as should be done. Interview on 10/27/22 at 9:00 A.M. with Unit Manager (UM) #700 verified Resident #28's restraint documentation was limited to the treatment administration record and orders administration notes located in the progress notes of the medical record which were identified in the above findings. UM #700 confirmed there was no documented evidence of Resident #28's restraint release on 10/12/22 and 10/17/22, and monitoring or reapplication of the restraint including skin assessments when removed. UM #700 stated the facility charted by exception so only a negative finding would be noted in the chart and it was presumed the physician orders were followed as written.
