-----Original Message----- From: Jeanne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Opinions requested 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.
