RE: dressing

can you find any documentation in the chart that "dressing intact to lower leg" or any mention anywhere of  a dressing. If not, I wouldn't code dressing.

Ok,  I think I'm arguing semantics here, but here's the question.  A Medicare A resident has an order that reads  "apply neosporine to scratches on lower leg BID".  So my question is, can I "assume" that the neosporine was covered by a dressing?  or should I err on the side of caution and leave M5g blank?  

Thanks
