LeavesI'd check the weight gain, but explain it in RAPS. Also, once the cast comes off, you'll most likely have to check weight loss. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Doreen Muller Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: casts vs weight gain
I have a resident who was in a MVA an sustained a fracture to her
tibia. She is in a full leg cast. My dilemma; showing a weight gain and
triggered on raps. Can I put no for weight change since she has the cast and
we do not know what the weight of the cast is? Or can I put yes to the
weight gain and document on raps that she has a full cast on her leg and is
not a true weight gain?
