Re: cause of pancytopenia- bone marrow aspirate could not definitely diagnose res. with myelodysplasia (no s/o neoplastic activity, adequate iron stores). No further testing to be done (other than weekly cbc checks). Thanks- Olga

Are you still looking for the cause? I would think yes if there are order changes due to the CBCs. If the resident is stable and no order changes then no they would not be skillable.Davina DeMerritt, RN-----Original Message-----

Subject: Can I keep this res. skilled?...Hello again!Would Procrit s.c. injections q day and weekly CBC checks be sufficient to keep a resident skilled ? The resident has max'ed out with PT and OT, and is maintaining his baseline functional status , etc... Spouse will not take him home secondary to ADLs (does require assist. with transfers which she cannot safely negotiate). He locomotes in w/c independently, no cognitive issues, no med changes. He will be receiving Procrit for "pancytopenia", cause still undetermined (?). Any suggestions would be great! Thanks again...
