Record review of facility nursing policies and procedure titled, Restraints with a revised date of 05/5/23
revealed the following:
Policy:
1. Patients/Residents have the right to be free from a restraint of any kind and the right to function at their
highest level in the least restrictive environment possible. Restraints will not be used unless the facilities
interdisciplinary team has completed an assessment and evaluation to identify causative medical or
environmental factors and has considered less restricted alternatives, except in the case of an emergency.
If the resident needs emergency care, restraints may be used for brief periods to permit medical treatment
to proceed unless the facility has a notice indicating that the resident has previously made a valid refusal of
the treatment in question. If a residence unanticipated violent or aggressive behavior places him/her or
others in imminent danger, the resident does not have the right to refuse the use of restraints. In this
situation the use of restraints is a measure of last resort to protect the safety of the resident or others and
must not extend beyond the immediate episode.
2. Chemical or physical restraints will never be used as a disciplinary action or for staff convenience.
4. Medical symptoms that warrant the use of restraints will be documented in the patient/resident's medical
record, ongoing assessments, and care plan.
5. The physicians order for restraint should reflect the presence of a qualifying medical symptom.
6. The facility will engage in a systematic and gradual process towards reduction of restraint use.
7. Restraints must be reviewed at least monthly to evaluate necessity and appropriateness.

8. Balls do not constitute self-interest behavior or a medical condition that warrants the use of physical
restraint. In the past some types of restraints were used to prevent falls. However, the risk for serious injury
related to restraints and the lack of supporting evidence for restraint efficiency and fall prevention, have led
to the eradication of the practice period additionally, falls that occur while a person is physically restrained
often results in more serious injuries (e.g., strangulation, entrapment).
Residents Affected - Some
Procedures: New Restraint Orders:
1. Complete restraint assessment if appropriate then:
2. obtain order for
A. the type of restraint
B. duration time frame to be utilized
C. medical diagnosis or symptoms necessitating restraint use
D. parameters for use including release schedule
E. frequency of checking
F. removal schedule
3. obtain consent from the patient resident, family, surrogate, or health care representative if the patient
resident lacks medical decision-making capacity.
4. Apply restraint for manufacturers guidelines.
5. Update care plan with the problem, goal and approaches, which must include:
A. Observation

C. Repositioning, at least every 2 hours
6. Document in the medial record including:
A. Alternatives tried prior to use of physical restraint
B. Patient/resident response to restraint (refer to Suggested Restraint Alternatives)

#20, #23 did not have a PASRR Evaluations completed, he also confirmed the PL1s for these residents
were not accurate; due to Major Depression and Schizoaffective Disorder being diagnoses. The ADM stated
the facility does not have a process for updating the PL1 if a resident was diagnosed with a new diagnosis.
The ADM stated he was aware an updated PL1 would need to be completed if a resident was diagnosed
with a new diagnosis after being admitted to the facility. The ADM stated he did not know Major Depression
would warrant a positive PL1. When asked what the risks for a resident could be if they did not receive an
accurate PL1 or subsequent PL2 evaluation, he said the residents are at risk of not receiving proper
services.
During an interview with the ADON on 06/07/23 at 10:40AM, she verified Residents #1, #3, #7, #15, #20,
and #23 did not have PL2 evaluations as all their PL1s were negative. ADON stated it was her responsibility
to ensure every resident admitted to the facility has a PL1. The ADON also stated it was her responsibility
to ensure PL1s are completed accurately by comparing them to Resident medical records. ADON stated
there is not a procedure in place to update a PL1 if a resident is diagnosed with a new diagnosis after being
admitted to the facility. The ADON stated she did not know a diagnosis of MDD would warrant a positive
PL1. The ADON stated she was aware Residents #1, #3, #7, #15, #20, and #23 did have a diagnosis of
MDD. The ADON stated she has been in communication with the local mental health authority to complete
a PL2 Evaluation for resident #20; however, that evaluation had not been scheduled. The ADON stated the
potential harm to a resident without a subsequent PL2 evaluation was the residents will not receive the
services they need.
The facility policy for PASARR states all applicants to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility are evaluated for
mental health prior to admissions and offered the most appropriate setting for their needs. If the PASARR
level one screening indicated the individual may have an Intellectual Disability or a Mental Illness diagnosis
the facility will confer with local mental health providers to complete a PASARR level two screening.
Following the completion of the level two screening a care plan will be developed by the facility in order to
meet the needs of a resident with an Intellectual Disability or a Mental Illness diagnosis.
