Findings are as follows: Record review for Resident ID #3 revealed an admitted [DATE]. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of a comprehensive Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident has moderately impaired cognition and requires extensive assist of two or more persons for bed mobility. Record review lacked evidence that a siderail evaluation was completed since admission. Review of the Individualized Resident Assignment Card (Kardex) revealed the section titled, Siderails, is blank. A surveyor observation on 3/10/2020 at 12:15 PM, revealed two siderails on the resident's bed. During an interview on 3/10/2020 at 2:10 PM with the Director of Nursing Services, she acknowledged that the resident has side rails on her bed, was unable to explain why the resident was not assessed prior to siderail installation, or why the Kardex was blank. 2020-09-01
