Stated that assessing the resident's first and obtaining the consent and making sure that the resident is safe with the restraint, make sure to document, speak to family, and make sure have the proper monitoring system in place. , stated that the purpose of a consent specifically for restraints is to ensure safety for the residents, to ensure that family is aware of the restraint, and to protect themselves as the facility. The DON stated that the negative outcome of not obtaining a consent for a restraint puts the facility at risk of getting into trouble because if it is not signed or documented it did not happen. The DON stated she was not aware that a consent was not obtained. Stated once again she will have to quit assuming and follow up as a DON. Stated she will start doing that and she will own her mistakes. The DON stated that she was aware that the nurse placed Resident #1's wander guard and did the assessment afterwards. The DON stated that she talked to the LVN about that and at that moment she felt it was an emergency to just put that one and I agree with her that she needed to place that on him and do visual assessment and put that in the computer. She saw the risk that he was and needed to do that. The DON stated that the system to monitor restraints is that they have the little device to check the wander guards and when it is activated they check with the doors to make sure that they work.

The DON stated that she can verify that she had been trained. The DON stated that she had observed the resident's (Resident #1, Resident #2, and Resident #3) with the wander guard on.

The DON stated that the nurses and administrator are responsible for restraints and following the policy because we are the one who assess the resident, place, and monitor. The DON stated the reason the assessment was completed after the placement was because the nurse felt that it was an emergency and that it needed to be placed right then. It was a nursing judgement. The DON stated that there is no reason a consent was not obtained other than the nurse felt that he was in danger and placed that because he was at risk of getting out of the building. The DON stated she did not have additional information just having to re-educate the staff.

F 0552 the care plan and approved by the interdisciplinary team. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Unauthorized Physical Restraints: 1. Residents Affected - Some Restraints are free from the use of any physical restraints not required to treat their medical condition. 2. Physical restraint is defined as any manual method, physical, or mechanical device, equipment, or material that meets all of the following criteria. a. Is attached or adjacent to a resident's body. b. Cannot be removed easily by the resident (in the same manner as it was applied by the staff). 4. Sometimes the use of restraints is not intentional, but this does not absolve the staff of the responsibility to recognize and report the unauthorized use of restraints. Examples of physical restraints (intentional or unintentional) include: g. applying leg or arm restraints, hand mitts, soft ties, or vests that a resident cannot remove. 6. Risk of falling is not considered a medical symptom or self-injurious behavior that warrants the use of restraints. 9. Obtaining a resident's or representative's permission to use a restraint when the restraint is unnecessary is prohibited. 10. The following examples demonstrate situations where restraints are used for staff convenience or discipline, and are therefore unauthorized: a. Staff are too busy to monitor the resident, and their workload includes too many residents to provide monitoring. b. The resident does not exercise good judgment, including forgetting about his/her physical limitations in standing, walking, or using the bathroom alone and will not wait for staff assistance. c. Family have requested that the resident be restrained, as they are concerned about the resident falling especially during high activity times, such as during meals or when the staff are busy with other residents. d. There is not enough staff on a particular shift or during the weekend and staffing levels were not changed.

F 0552 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm e. new staff and/or temporary staff do not know the resident, how to approach, and/or how to address behavioral symptoms or care needs so they apply physical restraints. f. Lack of staff education regarding the alternatives to the use of restraints as a method for preventing falls and accidents. Residents Affected - Some g. Restrain the resident to teach him/her a lesson due to negative feelings or a lack of respect toward the resident. h. In response to a resident's wandering behavior, staff become frustrated and restrain a resident to a wheelchair and/or 11. Restraints that are used as a last resort to protect the safety of the resident and others must be accompanied by an order from the practitioner and documentation reflecting the circumstances that led up to the decision to restrain him or her. Record review of facility provided policy, dated April 2017, titled, Use of Restraints, stated: Policy Statement: Restraints shall only be used for the safety and well-being of the resident (s) and only after other alternatives have been tried unsuccessfully. Restraints shall only be used to treat the resident's medical symptoms (s) and never for discipline or staff convenience, or for the prevention of falls. When the use of restraints is indicated, the least restrictive alternative will be used for the least amount of time necessary, and the ongoing re-evaluation for the need of restraints will be documented. Policy Interpretation: 1. Physical restraints are defined as any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or restricts normal access to one's body. 2. The definition of a restraint is based on the functional status of the resident and not the device. If the resident cannot remove a device in the same manner in which the staff applied it given that resident's physical condition, and this restricts his/her typical ability to change position or place, that device is considered a restraint. 6. Prior to placing a resident in restraints, there shall be a pre-restraining assessment and review to determine the need for restraints. The assessment shall be used to determine possible underlying causes of the problematic medical symptom and to determine if there are less restrictive interventions (programs, devices, referrals, etc.) that may improve the symptoms.

The Administrator stated, I was told that they completed the assessment first and then called for a wander guard. The Administrator stated that it can be considered a restraint. The Administrator stated that the assessment will tell you if the Resident needed a wander guard. The Administrator stated that the guard will not stop the resident from getting out of the door, but it is an intervention. The Administrator stated that there is not a reason the assessment is done after the placement. The Administrator stated that she had not had anything on a 24-hour report for Resident #1.
