- Failure to Ensure That Every Resident Is Free from the Use of Physical Restraints Unless Need for Medical Treatment – citation #F604 date August 29, 2019
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to maintain an environment free of physical restraints , for [one resident].” The restraint usage involved “placing a sheet around [the resident’s] waist and tying it to the back of her wheelchair to prevent rising.”
A review of the resident’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment indicated that the resident “had no falls and no use of physical restraints during the assessment period.” The resident’s Fall Care Plan, dated July 1, 2019, revealed: “she had the potential for falls related to an unsteady gait, wheelchair use, and cognitive impairment.”
The interventions documented in the Care Plan included that the staff would “observe and monitor [the resident’s] attempt to get up unassisted and provide reminders as needed.” The Abuse Investigation revealed an allegation was reported on June 29, 2019, that the resident “had been restrained to her wheelchair with a sheet by [a nurse].”
However, a review of the resident’s medical records revealed “no Nursing Progress Note, or Incident Report, related to the incident that occurred on June 29, 2019” concerning the restraint. The resident’s skin assessment that was completed the following day “revealed no new bruising or injuries related to the incident” the day before.
However, a Personal Care Assistant confirmed that she had been assigned to the resident on the day of the incident “but did not provide direct care.” The Assistant recalled that “if she walked by the resident’s room, she noticed [the resident] sitting in the wheelchair with a sheet around her waist and tied to the back of the wheelchair.”
The Personal Care Assistant stated that “the resident did not appear distressed but was trying to get up out of the wheelchair.” The Assistant “was unable to recall the exact time this had occurred.” The Assistant said that they witnessed the resident being restrained at “approximately 10:00 AM and did not feel that [the resident] had been left that way for very long because the resident wiggled her way right out of it.”
