I can tell you that Becky just read me your e-mail asking this question. She didn't know the answer but asked me. She said that she wrote back to you that I said what the answer was. Did she really do this? We have a double amputee and we put her height from head to where the amputation is. Then a note was put somewhere in the note about her being an amputee and the dietician should have this in her notes. -----Original Message----- From: Lori Eckberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 1:34 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Height measurement When you have a resident who is a bilateral amputee do you use the armspan measurement on the MDS J2a or do you measure actual height ie. top of head to tip of longest residual limb? /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
