Just a little funny...

[Bryan Sims]

Hi everyone, just thought I share this...A patient in Long Term Care is blind in one eye and has glaucoma in the other eye, yet I coded her a zero on the MDS.  The State Surveyor ask me to explain how this patient can be a "0" on the MDS.  We went to the room and I have a eye exam sheet I made on the computer with funny sayings in different fonts, and it took the patient like 5 minutes to read the 10 font but she did it!  I told the surveyor all the MDS asks if the patient can "see find print".  Well here is a classic example of being blind in one eye and can't see out of the other yet pass the MDS vision exam!  Have a good day!   bryan
