Refere to page 3-239 in RAI manual. If a resident is dicharged prior to the completion of Section V, a comprehensive assesment may be in progress.......Complete all required MDS items, Complete the RAPs, Enter date RAP triggers were completed, Dash fill all CP decision items, Enter same date in VB4 that was entered in VB2, and Submit.
If the resident is coming back around, and his behaviors are a typical pattern around the hoildays, I don't think I'd do a Sig Change. However, I'd address this in my carepan. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Susan Mohror Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MDS question I have two questions that I would like answered. 1) If you have a significant change done on a resident with the RAPS printed out and the resident has passed away and the RAPS are noted written on, should they be completed? 2) We have a resident that has a DX of depression who goes through a fluctuation in his behaviors during the month of Dec. due to the anneversary of his wife's death. At this time he is coming back around and the doctor has changed his medication to help. This has been documented by the MDS coordinator in progress notes. Should a significant change be done on this resident if this is a reoccuring problem? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
