I would go and ask the nurses that are the treatment's and see if it is covered or not.  Then I would document somewhere in RAP's or progress notes wether it has a dressing or not.

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
