Re: When do you check P2a,d, or e?

[LINDA FUCHS]

I work in LTC in ND. We check P2a when someone is on behavior tracking. We use behavior tracking for a week when a new behavior has been noted or the resident has had a change in their medication for behaviors. We check P2d when we put residents name on or beside their doors in large letters to make it easier for them to find their room., we also mark P2e for most of our residents with short and long term memory issues. Hope this helps. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/20/03 10:38AM >>> We check these sections more often for our dementia unit clients but I almost always check P2e for clients that trigger on B for memory  deficits.  At the very least they often need cues for their daily schedule. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/20/03 10:20AM >>> I'm interested to know if experienced MDS coders check the sections mentioned in the subject line.  Do you use them often?  What do you think has to be in place for the resident for you to check these blocks?   If you are hesitant about using them, why?
