Re: Section P

[Nathan]

P4 is only for coding devices that serve as restraints. If the siderail is not a restraint, do not code it in section P.   RAI Manual Page 3-198  "The intent is to evaluate as part of the assessment process whether or not a devices meets the definition of physical restraint, and then code only those devices categorized in section P4 that have the effect of restraining the resident."   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: judyfar To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 4:30 PM Subject: Section P Please share how you code Section P Devices and Restraints.  If siderails are for enablers only, do you mark siderails in that section at all?  Do you code devices that are NOT restraints (i.e. lap buddy which R can remove)?
