Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observations, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure
a resident was free from a physical restraint. This affected one resident (#64) of one resident reviewed for
physical restraints. The facility census was 73.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following
diagnoses; cerebral infarction (stroke), major depressive disorder, cognitive communication deficit, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and anxiety disorder. Review of Resident #64's quarterly Minimum
Data Set (MDSs) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had severe cognitive impairment. The
MDS further revealed the resident was totally dependent on staff with transfers and had a chair alarm.
Review of Resident #64's care plan revealed the resident had a self releasing alarm seat belt in place on
her wheelchair. The care plan identified Resident #64's seat belt as an enabler due to it enabling her to
maintain an appropriate position in her wheelchair. The care plan further revealed Resident #64 was able to
release her seat belt on her own.
Review of Resident #64's physical restraint assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident leaned to the
right, had poor trunk control, was unable to recover the loss of balance when sitting and was unable to
stand except with weight bearing support of two staff. Resident #64 demonstrated the ability to release and
reapply the Velcro self releasing alarming seatbelt every time upon request, therefore the seat belt was not
considered a restraint.
Review of Resident #64's progress note dated 03/04/19 revealed an interdisciplinary team meeting was
held on 02/28/19. Resident #64's self releasing alarm seat belt was in use to increase resident's sense of
safety. Resident #64 was reported to be recently observed fastening and unfastening her seatbelt at
random times. The note also revealed the seat belt did not restrain the resident from exiting the chair.
Observation of Resident #64 on 03/14/19 at 9:03 A.M., revealed resident to be sitting in her wheelchair in
the dining room with her Velcro self releasing alarming seat belt in place.
Observation of Resident #64 on 03/14/19 at 9:11 A.M., revealed Registered Nurse (RN) #124 asked
Resident #64 to take off her Velcro self releasing alarming seat belt. RN #124 asked the resident several
