I would base it on your facility policy and if you don’t have one….write one. Our policy is that we only code WITNESSED last breaths….

Subject: Help, quick question about full codes

 

If a resident is a full code and you do not know when they took their last breathe, then you still start a code, correct?  I need this in writing please.
