There seems to be a conflict of information regarding the coding for
toileting. Some staff believe that if the resident is on the check and
change program that they did not use the toilet. In reading page 3-93 it
states in toileting that the coding is for whether or not elimination
occurred. It also gives example's of using commode, bathroom , urinal and
etc.. It does not however, give example of attends. They are not
toileted in the sense that they are put on toilet, commode or bedpan. They
are totally incontinent. So would it be appropriate to code and 8
here? Thanks.
