Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.

Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or bed-hold policies.

Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.

Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
