pressure, and renal failure (condition where the kidneys lose the ability to remove waste and balance fluids)
with dialysis.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Some
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
observations, review of federal regulations, facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to conduct ongoing accurate assessments to ensure that bedrails were
used to meet residents' needs and the risks associated with bedrail usage for four of four residents
(Residents R4, R13, R20, and R69).
Findings include:
Review of Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §483.25(n) - Bed Rails states that the facility
must assess the resident for risk of entrapment from bed rails prior to installation. Additionally, there should
be evidence in the resident's records that the facility performed ongoing assessments to assure that the
bed rail is used to meet the resident's needs and that there is an ongoing evaluation of risks associated
with bed rail usage.
Review of facility policy Bed Safety dated 3/1/22, and 7/13/23, indicated side rails may be used if
assessment and consultation with the Attending Physician has determined that they are needed to help
manage and medical symptom or condition, or to help the resident reposition or move in bed and transfer,
and no other reasonable alternatives can be identified. When using side rails for any reason, the staff shall
take measures to reduce related risks.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 8/1/23,
indicated diagnoses of hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body), hypertension (high blood pressure in
the arteries), and diabetes (too much sugar in the blood).
Review of Resident R4's MDS dated [DATE], Section G: Functional Status, Question G0110 indicated that
Resident R4 required extensive assistance with resident involved in activity and staff to provide
weight-bearing support of one to perform bed mobility.
Review R4's physician order dated 9/15/23, indicated to apply enabler bars to promote bed mobility.
Review of Resident R4's clinical record revealed the most current In Bed Positioning/Side Rail Evaluation
was completed on 11/30/21, and indicated bilateral bed rails were to be applied to allow the resident to
contribute to bed mobility.
An observation on 9/28/23, at 11:49 a.m. revealed side rails on both sides of Resident R4's bed.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R13's MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of
the body), hypertension (high blood pressure in the arteries), and muscle weakness.
