(1) Assess the resident for risk of entrapment
from bed rails prior to installation.
(2) Review the risks and benefits of bed rails

by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed ensure a resident's plan of care
and the facility's policy and procedure were
implemented to prevent falls for one of two
sampled residents (Resident 1). Resident 1,
who had high risk for falls was left in the
bathroom unsupervised and the resident got up
from the toilet and fell, resulting in blunt head
trauma (BHT) with a hematoma (a pool of
blood between the brain and the brain's
outermost covering ) and a right fractured
(broken bone) hip.
These deficient practices resulted in Resident 1
falling sustaining injuries with severe pain,
requiring a transfer to a General Acute Care
Hospital (GACH), undergoing a surgical repair
of the right hip fracture and admittance for pain
management for three days.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Face Sheet indicated
the resident was originally admitted to the
facility on 12/22/16 at 9:55 a.m., and
readmitted on 7/15/17 at 6:30 p.m. The
