If she eats without assist then in section "G" code "0".   The Nose ----- Original Message ----- From: Olga Lawrence To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2003 3:45 AM Subject: How would you code this? 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 ?) Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard
