> 1. Can bed and chair alarms and floor mats (used for protection in case of a

> 2. How do we code "scabbed" areas where it appears a shallow abrasion or skin
> tear is healing? First, they are not "open" per se, they appear shallow w/o
> surrounding erythema. In the strictest "letter of the law" they should probably
> be coded "4" in M1d since we don't know what they look like under the "scab,"
> but this seems like overkill. Since it is not "open" do we need to code it at
