If you had been coding his incontinence as a "3" on the last MDS and it is still a "3", then I would mark no change. Checking for residuals doesn't sound as if it is affecting his continence.

We are doing a significant change s/p hospital on a resident who returned from the hospital with orders to straight cath Q8hrs for residual urine, she is frequently incontinent of bladder now and was prior to this readmission. How do we code on H4?
