I would code the first example as 4/2. You cannot code 8/8 because there was one incident in the 7 day lookback period. I would code 4/2 because I think it is the best available representation of the resident and meets the definition of total dependence "Full staff performance of the activity during the entire 7-day period. There is complete non-participation by the resident in allaskpects of the ADL definition task." For the second example when there is one 4/2 and one 3/2, I would code the resident as 3/2. It could not be 8/8 or 4/2 since the resident performed part of the activity during the observation window. No other coding makes sense to me. Whenever I have all 8s but one or two, I code the lowest coding that occurred in the window in self-performance (highest in support provided) unless there are at least 3 episodes of a more dependent self-performance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Davenport" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 5:23 PM Subject: section G
