If during a seven day observation period I have 4 episodes of a 4 (total dependence), 5 episodes of a 2 ( limited assist ) and 1 episode of a 3 ( extensive assist ). How would you code this and why? Refer to the Flow chart on page 3-90 of the RAI Manual, the example you give would be coded as a 3 extensive assist since you have 3 or more episodes of extensive or total dependence.    Ron
