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.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to assess one of seven residents
(Resident 59) for risk of entrapment (caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed and
side rail) from bed rails (adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed), obtain informed
consent (form signed by resident or family explaining the risks of side rail use), obtain physician order with
indication for use, and create care plans prior to the use of bed rails when Resident 59 had his right bed rail
raised up.
These failures had the potential to place Resident 59 at risk for decreased freedom of movement,
entrapment and/or injury.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 59's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
cognitive (mental processes) and physical functional level assessment, dated 8/14/24, indicated Resident
59's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - screening tool used to assess resident cognitive level) score
was 11 out of 15 indicating Resident 59 had moderate cognitive impairment (0-7 indicated severe cognitive
impairment, 8-12 moderate cognitive impairment, 13-15 cognitively intact).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/9/24 at 9:19 a.m. with Resident 59 in Resident 59's
room, Resident 59 had his right side rail raised. Resident 59 stated he used the side rail to reposition
himself.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/9/24 at 9:51 a.m. with certified nursing assistant (CNA)
3 in Resident 59's room, Resident 59 was lying in bed with his right side rail raised. CNA 3 stated Resident
59 liked to use the side rail to place his urinal there and to help him move.
During an observation on 9/10/24 at 12:30 p.m. in Resident 59's room, Resident 59 was lying in bed and
had his right side rail raised.
During an observation on 9/11/24 at 9:18 a.m. in Resident 59's room, Resident 59 was lying in bed and had
his right side rail raised.
During an interview on 9/12/24 at 11:34 a.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated Resident 59 used his right side rail
for mobility and to help him reposition. CNA 2 stated staff were aware there needed to be a physician's
order before any resident could use side rails. CNA 2 stated obtaining physician orders was needed prior to
using side rails so staff were aware of the reason a resident needed to use them and to ensure the resident
remained safe from improper use.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/12/24 at 1:47 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 2, Resident 59's clinical record, undated, was reviewed. The clinical record indicated there was no
physician's orders, no care planning, no safety evaluation, and no consents obtained for the use of side
rails. LVN 2 stated Resident 59 should not have been using siderails unless physician's orders, care
planning, safety evaluation, and consents were put in place. LVN 2 stated it was important to do all the
required forms for side rails because it was for resident safety.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to establish and maintain an effective
infection control and prevention program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment
and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable (contagious) diseases and
infections for 62 of 62 residents when:
1.Resident 4's wheelchair was found to have brown dried matter on the seat and staff did not clean and
maintain the wheelchair in accordance with facility policies and procedures.
2.Resident 33's two used urinal bottles (a container used to collect urine) were found on top of his
nightstand. Staff did not follow established facility policies for the discarding of urine and the cleaning of
urinal bottles.
3.Dirty water was found pooled in the laundry room where clothing and linens were being washed for the
entire facility of 62 residents.
These failures had the potential to increase the risk of spreading pathogens (microscopic organisms that
cause disease) to all residents and staff of the facility.
4. Resident 214's nephrostomy catheter (a small, flexible tube that is inserted into the kidney through the
skin to drain urine) bag was laying on the floor.
This failure had the potential to cause the bag to become contaminated (the process of making something
dirty or unclean) and increase the risk of infection (when germs invade and grow inside the body) for
Resident 214.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain a low air loss mattress (LAL- a special mattress
designed to distribute the patient's body weight over a broad surface area and help prevent skin
breakdown) cover sheet in intact for one of three sampled residents (Resident 39) when the LAL mattress
cover was torn where Resident 39 rested his head.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to cause the LAL mattress to not function properly and lead the resident to
develop skin breakdown.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 39's admission Record (AR- a document that provides resident contact details,
a brief medical history, level of functioning, preferences, and wishes), dated 9/13/24, the AR indicated
Resident 39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 39 was admitted with the following diagnoses:
diabetes mellitus (a condition that happens because of a problem in the way the body uses sugar as a
fuel), quadriplegia (a condition which causes partial or total loss of function in all four limbs and the torso),
and pressure ulcer of sacral region (a wound that develops when prolonged pressure is applied to the
bottom of the back).
During an observation and interview on 9/9/24 at 9:18 a.m. next to Resident 39's bed, Resident 39's LAL
mattress cover sheet had a tear where the resident would rest his head.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/9/24 at 9:27 a.m. with certified nursing assistant (CNA)
3 next to Resident 39's bed, Resident 39's LAL mattress cover sheet had a tear where the resident would
rest his head. CNA 3 stated the sheet looked like it had a lot of wear and tear. CNA 3 stated Resident 39
needed the LAL mattress because he has had skin problems in the past. CNA 3 stated if the LAL mattress
sheet had a tear it may not function properly.
During an interview on 9/12/24 at 11:34 A.M. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated Resident 39 had a LAL mattress
because he used to have a wound and the mattress helped prevent it from coming back. CNA 1 stated the
LAL mattress cover should not have had a tear on it because it could affect how the LAL mattress
functions. CNA 1 stated if the LAL mattress does not function properly Resident 39 may have skin
breakdown occur again.
During an interview on 9/12/24 at 1:38 p.m. with licensed vocational nurse (LVN) 2 LVN 2 stated Resident
39 used a LAL mattress because he had a wound in the past and it helped prevent it from forming again.
LVN 2 stated the LAL cover sheet should not have been torn because it could have prevented the LAL
mattress from working as intended and caused Resident 39 to retain moisture and develop a pressure
ulcer. LVN 2 stated staff should have replaced the LAL cover sheet as soon as they saw it ripped.
During an interview on 9/12/24 at 3:26 p.m. with the infection preventionist (IP), the IP stated, Resident 39
should not have had his LAL mattress cover ripped. The IP stated a ripped LAL mattress cover affected the
ability for staff to properly clean the cover.
During an interview on 9/13/24 at 10:36 a.m. with the director of nursing (DON), the DON stated having the
cover of the LAL mattress torn could have affected the integrity of the mattress. The DON
