Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of 12 final sampled residents (Residents 10 and 19) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 191)'s side rails were properly assessed and the least restrictive alternative measures were implemented or attempted prior to the use of side rails. * The facility failed to ensure the least restrictive alternative measures were implemented or attempted for Resident 10 prior to the use of the assist rail. In addition, there was no assessment conducted by the IDT for Resident 10 prior to the use of the assist rails as per the facility's P&P. * The facility failed to ensure the least restrictive alternatives were attempted prior to the initiation of the assist rails for Resident 191. In addition, there was no assessment conducted by the IDT for Resident 191 prior to the use of assist rails as per the facility's P&P. * The facility failed to ensure the least restrictive alternative measures were implemented or attempted for Resident 19 prior to the use of the assist rail. These failures had the potential to put the residents at risk for entrapment and serious injuries. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Proper Use of Assist Rails Guidelines revised 7/6/21, showed an assessment will be made by the IDT to determine the resident's symptoms, risk of entrapment, and reason for using assist rails. When used for mobility, or transfer, an assessment will include a review of the resident's bed mobility, ability to change positions, transfer to and from bed or chair, and to stand, and toilet, risk for entrapment from the use of assist rails, and that the bed's dimensions are appropriate for the resident's size and weight. Less restrictive interventions that will be incorporated in care planning include: providing restorative care to enhance abilities to stand safely and to walk, placing the bed lower to the floor and surrounding the bed with a soft mat, providing staff monitoring at night with periodic assistance with toileting for residents attempting to arise to use the bathroom, and/or furnishing visual and verbal reminders to use the call bell for residents who can comprehend this information. 1.

These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death. Findings: According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed system where there is a potential for entrapment are: - Zone 1: within the rail; - Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support; - Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress; - Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail; - Zone 5: between split bed rails; - Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and - Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end. An observation and concurrent interview, medical record review, and facility document review for Residents 10, 19, and 191, showed the residents' bed entrapment assessment were not accurate or the bed inspection gap measurement were recorded from bed to side rails.

Review of Resident 10's Monthly Skilled Nursing Room Checklist dated 7/25/23, under the Furniture/Beds section, failed to document if Resident 10's bed had side rail present. However, Resident 10's bed assessment was checked to ensure side rail for good condition and note areas around bed at risk for entrapment. On 8/2/23 at 1248 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the Plant Operations Technician I. The Plant Operations Technician I verified there were no exact measurements documented in Resident 10's Bed System Measurement Device Test Results Worksheet. The Plant Operations Technician I stated he received notification from the nursing department to install bed side rail before the new admission arrived at the facility because it will be hard to install the bed rail if the resident was in the bed. The Plant Operation Technician I stated he completed an entrapment assessment to ensure the bed passed correctly. The Plant Operation Technician I further stated he was one of two people responsible for installing resident's bed side rail. The Plant Operation Technician I demonstrated how he would use the entrapment measuring device and stated he placed the measuring device in between the gap from the bed and side rail to make sure the measuring device did not go through the gap. The Plant Operation Technician I further stated if the measuring device did not go through the gap in between the bed and side rail, it meant the bed pass for the entrapment assessment. The Plant Operation Technician I also stated he did not measure the gaps from the head and foot of the bed nor documented exact measurements of the gaps in the Bed System Measurement Device Test Results Worksheet. The Plant Operation Technician I verified he was not familiar with the different zones for the bed inspection for entrapment assessment risk. On 8/2/23 at 1557 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the Plant Operations Manager. The Plant Operations Manager verified and acknowledged the above findings. The Plant Operations Manager verified Resident 10's Monthly Skilled Nursing Room Checklist dated 7/25/23, under Furniture/Beds section, did not show if Resident 10's bed had a side rail present and was assessed for good condition. The Plant Operations Manager stated side rails should be documented in the form before inspection.
