Is it o.k. to sleep in a recliner?   We have a resident who has asked for her bed to be removed cause she wants to sleep in the chair... DON said no but I remember this being discussed here & thought it was o.k.?  Any safety rules/survey rules that would be broken?

For my resident who sleeps in a recliner chair, I code this according to how she moves in the recliner.

What if your resident does not sleep in bed ever.  They only sit/sleep in their recliner chair d/t breathing difficulties.  Do you could 8/8 as did not occur or do you look at the help she needs in the recliner chair????
