The requirement was NOT MET as evidenced by the following:
While the organizations has developed a policy on restraint, there was some confusion in the policy on when and how to get a new order for restraint when the patient has a need to still be restrained after the initial order. This confusion lead to the staff not getting appropriate orders as noted in the documentation of Patient 7 and 8. A behavioral restraint (per the standards) required that each order be time limited and follows the age of the patient up to adult. The reorder of the restraint was only obtained once and the doctor gave a clear order to continue the restraint, but stated no time, but should not have gone past four hours.
The first order on both of these medical records did have a time limit of four hours however no other orders after that were time limited. All subsequent orders need to be time limited
Patient 7, did not exhibit documentation to support the restraint application and continued usage. There was no description of the patient’s behavior other than a single entry that the patient was agitated. Documentation must be very clear on the exact behavior being exhibited This description will be the basis for the behavior that was present but is not any longer present when the patent is assessed for a discontinuation of the restraint. Further, Nursing did reassessments according to the time frames of the policy, however the reassessments indicated that the patient was not confused, yet notations stated that they would continue the restraint order as the patient was confused
Patient 8 was an intubated patient who had wrist restraints applied to prevent self extubation. Nurses interviewed stated that they put almost everyone into restraint for the first couple of hours for an intubation as they were very concerned about self extubation. This can be an acceptable reason for a restraint as it would be used as a precaution for intubated patients. There was a continuation of this restraint; however there was no re-assessment documentation to indicate that the patient still needed the restraint. There was a note on the order sheet to get an order (and a subsequent re-order) with no indication that an assessment had been performed nor the results. The doctor did not write a descriptive note stating the assessed patient’s condition.
