Re: activity raps - rationale for why N raps?

[Corey]

I'm a nurse, not an Activities person, so I took this right out of the RAP for Activities in the Manual:       "For the nursing facility, activity planning is a universal need.  For this RAP, the focus is on cases where the system may have failed the resident........,  The types of cases that will be triggered are: ....... (4) highly involved residents whose health may be in jeopardy beccause of their failure to "slow down".      .... Review of activity plan is suggested if both of following present:      -- Awake all or most of time in morning (N1a checked)     -- Involved in activities most of time (N2=0)   Corey ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Archibald To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 12:54 PM Subject: activity raps - rationale for why N raps? Why does activity rap when a resident is coded in 1)  N1 as being awake most of the time in mornings; and 2) N2 coded 0 (average time involved in activities = most).  I don't understand, sorry if I am being stupid again.  I have read the RAI section on N and still don't get it. thanks for enlightening me (again).
