F 0700 Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: Resident Assessment: 1. As part of the resident's comprehensive assessment, the following components will be considered when determining the resident's Level of Harm - Minimal harm or needs, and whether or not the use of bedrails meets those needs: a. Medical diagnosis, conditions, potential for actual harm symptoms, and/or behavioral symptoms b. Size and weight c. Sleep habits d. Medications e. Acute medical or surgical interventions f. Underlying medical conditions g. Existence of delirium h. Ability to toilet self safely Residents Affected - Some i. Cognition j. Communication k. Mobility l. Risk of falling. 2. The resident assessment must include an evaluation of the alternatives that were attempted prior to the installation or use of a bed rail and how these alternatives failed to meet the resident's assessed needs. 3. The resident assessment must also assess the resident's risk from using bed rails .4. The resident assessment should assess the resident's risk of entrapment between the mattress and bed rail or in the bed rail itself .Informed Consent: 6. Informed consent from the resident or resident representative must be obtained after appropriate alternatives have been attempted prior to installation and use of bed rails .Installation and Maintenance of Bed Rails: 12. The facility will assure the correct installation and maintenance of bed rails, prior to use. This includes: a. Checking with
the manufacturer(s) to make sure the bed rails, mattress, and bed frame are compatible. Rails should be selected and placed to discourage climbing over rails. b. Ensuring that the bed's dimensions are appropriate for the resident by: i. Confirming that the bed rails are appropriate for the size and weight of the resident using the bed; .iii. Inspecting and regularly checking the mattress and bed rails for areas of possible entrapment; iv. Ensuring the bed frame, bed rail and mattress do not leave a gap wide enough to entrap a resident's head or body, regardless of mattress width, length, and/or depth. v. Checking bed rails regularly to make sure they are still installed correctly, and have not shifted or loosened over time .d. Conducting routine preventative maintenance of beds and bed rails to ensure they meet current safety standards and are not in need of repair .Ongoing Monitoring and Supervision: .16. Responsibilities of ongoing monitoring and supervision are specified as follows: .b. A nurse assigned to the resident will complete reassessments in accordance with the facility's assessment schedule, but not less than quarterly, upon a significant change in status, or a change in the type of bed/mattress/rail .d. The maintenance director, or designee, is responsible for adhering to a routine maintenance and inspection schedule for all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), The FDA recommends the following actions to prevent deaths and injuries from entrapment and falls from adult portable bed rails: .
When installing and using bed rails:
*Confirm that the age, size, and weight of the person using the bed rails are appropriate for the bed rails used.
*Install bed rails using the manufacturer's instructions to ensure a proper fit.
*Ensure that the safety strap or bed rail retention system is permanently attached to the rail and secured to
the bed frame according to the manufacturer's instructions.
*Regularly inspect the mattress and bed rails for gaps and areas of possible entrapment. *Regardless of mattress width, length, and depth, the bed frame, bed rail and mattress should leave no gap wide enough to entrap a patient's head or body.
*Use caution when using bed rails with a soft mattress as this may increase risk of entrapment between the mattress and bed rail.

DON B stated that it was maintenance that Level of Harm - Minimal harm or would go around and do measurements. Surveyor asked DON B how often maintenance should be doing potential for actual harm measurements and completing audits on the bed rails. DON B indicated that their policy stated they should be done quarterly. Surveyor asked DON B how often bed rail assessments should be completed on the bed Residents Affected - Some rails already in place. DON B stated those should be done quarterly also, but that they hadn't been completed since last May. Surveyor asked DON B if it was her expectation that they be completed quarterly. DON B stated yes, that would be her expectation. Surveyor asked DON B if the resident or family representative actually signs the bed rail assessment. DON B indicated that residents and/or family members don't physically sign, but when they have the discussion with them, they just type in their name. Surveyor asked DON B if there were any entrapment assessments. DON B indicated no; she did not see an assessment for that. Surveyor asked DON B what kind of education or risk, and benefits was completed with
the residents and or family members for the use of side rails with air mattresses. DON B stated that they were told of the risks and benefits, but that she did not have any documentation of it. DON B pulled up a bed rail assessment on her computer and expanded field 3A, which indicated the following, The positive and negative aspects of side rail/assist bar have been discussed with the resident and/or family, and the resident and/or responsible parties are aware of the risk involved with the side rail use. Surveyor asked DON B if she had any documentation that listed what those risks were. DON B stated that she thought there was something but that she couldn't find it. Surveyor asked DON B if any alternatives are tried before installing
the bed rails. DON B indicated that they use the assessments, such as the bed rail assessment, fall risk assessment, Braden scale, a lift transfer evaluation, fall risk assessment, elopement assessment and ADL (Activities of Daily Living) assessment. Surveyor asked DON B how she would ensure the correct use of an installed bed rail. DON B said that would be the maintenance department. Surveyor asked DON B who would be responsible for measuring the gap between the side rail and the air mattress to reduce the risk of entrapment. DON B said that would be maintenance. Surveyor asked DON B who assesses to determine that the bed dimensions are appropriate for the resident size and weight. DON B said that would be maintenance too. Surveyor asked DON B if the measurements for gaps with the mattress and bed rails, a bed rail assessment that the resident or family signed, and written proof of risk vs. benefits for bed rails should be part of the resident's electronic medical record.
