It
most certainly would if it meets the requirements listed in RAI manual page
3-192, which includes measurable objectives & goals, periodic evaluation by
nurse, CNAs trained in the proper techniques, supervised by nursing staff, and
if no more than 4 residents if done in a group setting.
We have a 40 y/o female resident hx anoxic brain
injury, who uses a chest cross-over velcro vest to assist with positioning
when she is sitting in a chair eating or doing activities. She can take
it off herself, so it is not a restraint. She can almost put it on
herself, and we have been working with her to teach her to do this, since
allowing her to sit up straighter gives her more independence and quality of
life, would this qualify under P3 restorative nursing, splint or brace assist
since it is not a limb brace or splint?
