Resident admitted on Friday with Therapy orders. Transferred back to hospital on
Sunday without Therapy seeing her. It is my understanding that Therapy can project
minutes for the 5-day assessment even though not seen, according to the RAI. Correct?
Also,separate issue, resident ordered palm guard per Universal schedule but refuses
consistently to wear at night. Good nursing practice of course will prompt us to
change the wearing instructions but in the meantime resident surpasses the 15 daily
minutes/6-day requirement. So, we can still take credit for the minutes, correct?
Deep discussion going on here for some reason.
Input appreciated and thanks in advance.
