Findings include: 1. Resident #6 was admitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. During the entrance tour on 1/17/12 at 10:00 a.m., resident #6 was noted to have a turning/positioning bar attached to the bed. During record review, the Quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 12/5/11 was reviewed. According to this assessment, Section P0100 Physical Restraints was coded A for bed rail used less than daily while in bed. Further review of the medical record failed to show a physician's order for the use of [REDACTED]. The care plan did not contain mention of the use of the bed rail. During an interview with staff members A, B, and E on 1/18/12 at 4:45 p.m., staff member B stated they had been cited in the past for not coding items that would be considered restraints. The staff members were encouraged to read the definition of restraints that is contained in the RAI manual in Section P.

This resulted in a medication error with potential harm for 1 (#14) of 15 sampled and supplemental residents, when the resident was given the medication from the facility's stock medications in a dose other than what was prescribed for the resident. Findings include: During a medication pass observation on 10/18/16 at 7:45 a.m., [MEDICATION NAME] 325 mg, one tablet, was poured from a stock medication container by staff member K, and administered to resident #14.

The note showed there was no injury. When the resident was found, one wheelchair break was locked and the other was not. The note showed it was uncertain if the resident had unlocked one of the brakes.
