Infant patient was in the crib and as the child leaned against the railing, it dropped and the patient fell out of the crib.Parents were in the room and stated that it happened so fast.Parents immediately picked up the child with no apparent harm.The crib was evaluated with no apparent malfunction.The nurse felt the bed malfunctioned as the rail apparently did not lock.When i examined several similar cribs and raised the side rail, i noted that several times the right side did not latch.Is this an issue elsewhere? do the rails need some way to identify that both sides are secure?.
