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, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to review the risks and benefits of bed rails
and enabler pivot assist bars with the resident or resident representative and obtain informed consent prior
to installation for three (Residents #81, #312, #314) of 37 resident rooms observed and reviewed for bed
rails/pivot assist bars in that:
The facility failed to have consents signed for the pivot assist quarter bed rails for Residents #81, #312, and
#314.
This failure could affect residents who used bed rails/pivot assist bars at risk of the resident/responsible
party not being aware of the risk.

In an interview with Administrator on 8/31/2023 at 10:35 AM, the facility has used the pivot assist enabler
bars on every bed in the facility since 2020 and had not obtained physician orders or signed consent.
Administrator A maintains that the pivot assist bars are not bed rails and bases this on the manufacturer's
product statement flyer and that the beds are custom. Administrator A stated the pivot assist bars can
swing out to aid in standing if an individual is sitting on the edge of the bed. Administrator A, in an email
dated 8/31/2023 at 11:17 AM, when asked for consents for bed rail/pivot assist bars stated however we will
not have consent forms for the assistive devices as they are not side rails and therefore not required.
In an interview on 08/31/2023 at 8:58 AM, DON reviewed facility process and policy for bed rail and grab
bars/pivot assist bars use. DON stated the bed rails and grab bars/pivot assist devices are used for
residents for positioning and comfort. DON stated that on admission residents are informed about the
facility use and evaluated for extent of need for bed rails and grab bars/ pivot assist bars; Residents were
also reviewed quarterly or when care is plan updated. DON stated this facility did not call them bed rails
rather they called them supportive devices. DON stated that the grab bars/pivot assist bars were also used
to anchor the call light cable to make sure it did not fall on ground and was more available for resident use.
DON stated that when a family member or resident did not want the grab bars/pivot assist bars to be used,
the facility would put them in a down position or have them removed. DON stated that electronic health
records should be updated with resident evaluations for safe use of bed rails and grab bars/pivot assist bars
and that staff should be reviewing and familiar with resident status in their care areas.
Interview with LVN A on 8/30/23 at 1:36 PM about bed rail or grab bar/pivot assist bar use in the facility.
LVN A stated she would check orders for new residents for information on need for bed rails or grab
bars/pivot assist bars being used or if a change in use or position of the bars is noticed. LVN A stated that
bed rails can be a hazard as a resident could be hurt by choking on a cord anchored on the rail, having
limb caught in the open spaces of the bar resulting in fractures or injury.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention
and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one (CMA D) of two staff
observed during medication pass reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
1.
CMA D failed to disinfect the blood pressure cuff in between use with Resident #1 and Resident #91.
These failures could affect all residents by causing cross contamination and placing them at risk for
exposure to a contagious disease, infection, and possible hospitalization.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #1 face sheet dated 8/31/23.admitted to the facility at 8/19/23 with diagnosis
of urinary tract infection, and hypertension (high blood pressure).
Observation on 8/30/23 at 8:15AM with CMA D revealed him going into Resident #1 room to take his blood
pressure. He placed the blood pressure machine on the bed while receiving a reading. Once CMA D was
done, he came out of the room. Placed the blood pressure machine back on his cart without sanitizing the
cuff. He then Sanitized his hands to prepare Residents #1 medication. Once he finished given the
medication, he washed his hands to prepare to go to the next resident room.
Record review of Resident #91 dated 8/31/23 admitted [DATE] with diagnosis of hypertension (high blood
pressure), depressive episodes, and muscle weakness.
Observation on 8/30/23 at 8:27AM with CMA D went to Resident #91 room and took the non-sanitized
blood pressure cuff in the room to take his blood pressure. After that CMA D sanitized his hands to prepare
Residents #91's medications and placed the non-sanitized blood pressure cuff on the medication cart.
Interview on 8/30/23 at 8:35AM revealed CMA D had been trained to sanitize multi-use devices such as the
blood pressure cuff right after using it on a resident and in between residents. He stated they have wipes
that were supposed to be used but he forgot to use them.
Interview on 8/30/23 at 2:23PM with the Administrator revealed when dealing with multi use devices she
expected her staff to disinfect and clean in between residents. The Administrator revealed the risk of not
doing so could lead to the spread of infection. She also stated they do infection control once a month and
every couple of weeks go around to watch medication passes to make sure staff are following the
appropriate protocol.
Record Review dated September 2022 of Cleaning and disinfection of resident-care items and equipment
policy revealed,
Reusable items are cleaned and disinfected or sterilized between residents (eg. Stethoscopes, durable
