I would code for intermittent cath and still code as a 3 for incontinence, so you would mark no change. I believe the manual states if a resident has new placement of an indwelling cath than it would meet criteria for sig change for incontinence. You would of course have to have a decline in two areas. See manual page 2-9.

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? Doreen
