Please look at this scenario and give me your opinion. I'm torn
Rt. with COPD admitted to us from another facility. With in 24 hrs was
transferred to the hospital with pleural effusion and CHF, where she had
her 3 day qualifying stay.
Was in therapy and could not progress D/T dyspnea
We have been doing daily assessments including pulmonary status eval, wt.
which are Dr ordered to maintain wt at 100 or <. We are not adjusting Oxygen
and occasionally giving additional Lasix.
This appears to fit the criteria but she is so chronic and I don't see this
changing much. Do We cont. skill.?
