Have a resident who developed a stage 2 pressure ulcer the day before the
MDS ARD. The nurse missed coding this on his mds. Treatment orders were in
place and being carried out the day the wound was found and a wound care
plan for risk for pressure ulcers was in place and was updated shortly after
the ulcer treatment was started.. The question is: Do you do a modification
or a significant correction assessment in this case. Thanks. Jeanne
