If the only source of intake--food or fluid were IV
during the entire 7 day period, I would code "total" for eating.
4/2.
Thanks

Olga,
IV meds are included
in P1c. In section G1h you only code residents self
performance and support needed for eating. She eats independently, therefore
you code 0 for self performance. IV administration is not a factor.

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 ?)
