Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the
facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits
with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and
maintain the bed rail.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to complete a side
rail evaluation form for four residents (Resident #4, #39, #51, and #79); failed to care
plan the use of side rails for three residents (Resident #51, #79, and #212); failed to
obtain physicians orders regarding side rails for four residents (Resident #4, #51, #79,
and #212); and failed to obtain consent and complete safety check for side rails for five
residents (Resident #4, #39, #51, #79, and #212). A sample of 21 residents was selected
for review in a facility with a census of 102.
Record review of the facility’s policy, dated 1/1/19, titled Bedrail Use showed the
following information:
-Bedrails are used to enable a resident/guest to become more functionally independent, and
when the medical condition of the resident/guest requires the use of a bedrail;
-Bedrails could be considered a form of physical restraint; therefore, the need for
bedrails should be identified in the resident/guest assessment, and the care plan, per
resident assessment instruction (RAI) guidelines and regulatory requirements;
-Bedrails may be used to help a resident/guest position or turn him/herself. Provide
instructions to resident/guest as needed. The interdisciplinary team should determine if
the clinical benefits outweigh the risk of a device/bedrail;
-Possible hazards and clinical benefits of the bedrail use should be explained to the
resident/guest and his/her family/legal representative, during the admission process and
upon initial implementation;
-Continued use of bedrails requires documentation of the presence of a medical symptom,
which would necessitate the use of bedrails, or that the bedrails assist the
resident/guest with mobility and transfer abilities and that clinical benefits still
outweigh the risks of use;
-Complete the Enabler/Assistive Device/Side Rail Review upon admission/readmission, upon
initially implementing side rail, with a significant change, and with OBRA assessments.
Side rails should be addressed in the care plan;
-This review includes evaluations for entrapment risk which should also be completed when
mattress or bed type are changed;
-The resident/guest and the resident/guest representative should give informed consent to
the use of the device, prior to its use.
Record review of the facility’s policy (no effective date, currently being reviewed),
titled Resident Beds and Bed Safety Rails Program, showed the following information:
-To establish mitigation and preventative requirements and activities that maintain a
constant state of safety related to resident care beds and bed safety rails;
-Maintain resident beds and to perform bed safety rail audits;
-Preventative maintenance should be conducted on resident beds and bed safety rails on a
monthly and annual basis;
-Monthly resident room checks- each room is to be inspected once a quarter. Every month,
the maintenance supervisor is to divide out the total rooms by three to split the work
evenly across the whole quarter;
-Beds, side rails, cranks, floor locks, bed frames, and mattresses (check for
compatibility of all components to verify that there is no risk of entrapment);
-Bed Safety Rails Audit is schedule to be performed when it is determined that the use of
hand rails is an appropriate application for the resident or when a component/item (i.e.
mattress, etc .) is changed during an existing utilization of the appropriate use of a
hand rail;
-Nursing is responsible for conducting bed audits on the full bed system (frame, mattress,
