My question relates to staging a pressure area if it has been surgically closed with a flap, and the resident has an insicion line. Is the area now a surgical area? Or should we still code it as a staged pressure area? If you would still stage it, what stage would it be? How would we reverse code it as the area heals?
Thanks for any help,
