Only if they meet the definition
of a restraint. Be sure you have your assessment/paper trail in place to
support your determination. We were functioning under the misconception
that � rails were not restraining because they didn’t appear to stop
anyone with intent. However, our survey team did not feel that way and we
now assess them like all other devices.

We all use the top 2 siderails for all our residents just for
mobility. Do I need to code them on P4? Thanks.
