What would you code in this scenerio for dressing: Resident is able to completely dress self except needs help with prosthesis. CNA carries artificial leg to bedside. CNA places end of sock on end of stump, resident rolls up sock. Resident lifts up stump, CNA positions limb on stump. Resident hooks and tightens straps and secures stump?? 3,2 or 2,2 CNA did not bear any of the residents weight but did lift the artificial limb?? Is this considered bearing the residents weight?? Thanks in advanced.   Kristen Tryba RN Resident Assessment Coordinator Heart of America Medical Center 701-776-5455 ext 146
