Inspection Findings
Review of Resident 6's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 3/10/25, to apply left hand mitten necessity due to persistent pulling out of GT.
Review of Resident 6's care plan for usage of the left hand mittens or persistent pulling out of GT initiated 3/10/25 and revised 11/9/25, showed interventions including the application of the left hand mitten to prevent pulling out the tube and release every two hours for circulation and comfort for 15 minutes.
Review of Resident 6's MAR for March 2025 showed the left hand mitten placement was monitored every shift on 3/10 - 3/31/25.
Review of Resident 6's medical record failed to show documented evidence Resident 6's left hand mitten restraint was released every two hours for skin integrity and circulation. On 1/30/26 at 1100 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 6 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated the facility protocol for the use of hand mitten restraint was to remove the hand mitten every two hours and check for circulation and skin condition. RN 1 verified Resident 6 did not have an order to monitor circulation and skin condition every 2 hours. RN 1 further verified there was no documentation to show whether Resident 6's hand mittens were released every two hours to monitor for circulation and comfort. On 1/30/26 at 1315 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator.
The Administrator was informed and acknowledged the above findings.
