Re: Section H- Incontinence - plan of attack

[dfrias]

Go to your RAI manual and you will find the answer....but in saying that I would:   As per your question and only knowing what you have written I would code incontinece, begin a B&B plan and do an extensive care plan with an FYI statement included in C/P and RAP...."Admitted with F/C and since D/C of F/C find resident incontinet of urine, will begin B&B re-training program, will code on this assessment incontinence of urine.  However this incontinece problem may correct itself with the B&B retraining program, staff will seek recommendation for medication from physician to assist resident's incontinence if needed".   The trick here is talking to resident and close family members and reviewing H&P to find any incontience with the resident prior to admit. Acknowledging that the problem exist and have a plan of attact to assist with this problem.   The Nose ----- Original Message ----- From: Marilou Caponong To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 9:35 AM Subject: Section H- Incontinence A resident had an indwelling catheter during the first 8 days of the 14-day time frame.  On the 8th day, the Foley catheter was discontinued, after which the resident was incontinent of urine.  How should I code the resident on section H1b?
