If the side rails limit normal access in or out of the bed, then it would be a restraint.  If the resident is not able to perform this function independently, then they would not be a restraint....Correct everyone??

Hi Everyone I am looking for an answer quickly since the state surveyors are in the building.  If side rails are required on a specialty bed (full rails times 2) but are not used as a restraint do you code this on the MDS under section P for device/restraints.   Thank You
