The facility's census was 58. Review of the facility policy titled, Proper Use of Bed Rails, undated, showed: - Appropriate alternative approaches are attempted prior to installing or using bed rails; - Medical diagnosis, conditions, symptoms, size and weight, sleep habits, medications, delirium (state of disorientation or confusion), ability to toilet self safely, cognition, communication, mobility, and risk of falling are considered components when determining the resident's needs and whether use of bed rails meets those needs; - Evaluate alternatives prior to installation and how the alternatives failed; - Resident risk such as accident hazards, barrier to residents from safely getting out of bed, physical restraint, decline in status, skin integrity issues, decline in activity of daily living, risk of entrapment, and other potential negative outcomes are part of resident assessment; - The facility will assess to determine if the bed rail meets the definition of a restraint; - A bed rail is considered a restraint if the bed rail keeps a resident from voluntarily getting out of bed in a safe manner to the lower bed rail independently; - Informed consent from the resident/representative must be obtained after appropriate alternatives have been attempted prior to the installation and use of the bed rails and information presented in an understandable manner with consent given voluntarily, free from coercion; - Monitoring the resident with bed rails will be in accordance with professional standards of practice and the resident's choices evidenced by the resident's record and care plan; - A nurse assigned to the resident will complete reassessments at least quarterly, upon a significant change in status, or a change in type of bed/mattress/rail; - Maintenance director, or designee, is responsible for adhering to a routine maintenance and inspection schedule for the bed frames/rails and mattresses. Review of the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) documents entitled, Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, dated [DATE], showed 413 people died as a result of entrapment events in the United States. Further review revealed those among the most vulnerable for these entrapment type events are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. Review of the FDA document entitled, Practice Hospital Bed Safety, dated February 2013, showed different potential zones of entrapment. The guidance characterizes the head, neck, and chest as key body parts that are at risk for entrapment. 1.

Once the bed rail was added, housekeeping and other staff assessed weekly if there was anything that needed to be fixed. If something needed addressed, then maintenance was informed. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:05 P.M., the Administrator said she would expect the bed rail use risks and benefits to be discussed with the resident or their representative and their understanding of these risks and benefits to be documented in the medical record. She would expect bed rail use to be assessed on a regular basis.
