freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary
seclusion and any physical or chemical
restraint not required to treat the resident's
medical symptoms.
§483.12(a) The facility must§483.12(a)(2) Ensure that the resident is free
from physical or chemical restraints imposed
for purposes of discipline or convenience and
that are not required to treat the resident's
medical symptoms. When the use of restraints
is indicated, the facility must use the least
restrictive alternative for the least amount of
time and document ongoing re-evaluation of
the need for restraints.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record,
review the facility failed to ensure that one of
three sampled residents (Resident 2) was free
from physical restraint, including,
1. Failure to conduct an assessment for the
needs of bilateral hand mittens (a type of large
gloves that covers the hand to prevent or limit
hands from moving and pulling the tubes) and
abdominal binder (an elastic material that goes
around the abdomen).
2. Failure to obtain an order from Resident 2's
Primary Physician for the use of bilateral hand
mitten and inform Resident 2 and Resident 2's
Responsible Party the risk and benefits of the
hand mittens.
3. Failure to develop and implement a specific
care plan for Resident 2's use of abdominal
binder.
These deficient practices had a potential to
