If a nurse administers IV Vancomycin (200 mls/24 hours) each day over the lookback period, and the resident is independent with eating activity, what would the correct code (self-performance) be under "eating" in section G? Since I would have to include the 200 mls of IV solution in section K and provide the average daily intake of parenteral fluids, I feel that section G would have to be coded in a way which reflects the nurse's involvement.... Is this correct? Thanks! (is code "3" appropriate ?)
