You can't skill on an IV alone for more than the first 14 days.

The resident was not in our facility on 01/11/04 therefore I cannot do a OMRA since therapy was never started in our facility. She was admitted on 01/13/04 and was no therapy for 3 weeks. My question being can I skill her for those 3 weeks based on her getting this IV on 01/11/04?

If the resident just had an IV on 1-11,I would do an omra and keep on med A alittle while.Would look at it weekly and would do a sig change when rehab can come back.I feel a sig change is necessary when weightbearing increases as there usually is an improvement in amb and toileting.
