I am posting this again - hoping someone will take a few minutes to reply.
We are having some discussion here on section K and I am very interested in
knowing how everyone fills out section K3 Weight Change. You are looking back (from
the ARD) 30 days and 180 days - you take the current weight and compare with weights
done 30 days ago and 180 days ago - we got that. The question is if there is more than
one weight done in that 30 day look back - do you compare your most current with the
last one done in that 30 day window or do you compare with the lowest weight recorded
regardless if it is closest to the most current or the highest weight in the window.
How are you all doing this?? Thank you in advance.
