RE: question for group

I think the issue here is the resident making the informed choice of refusing care.  See pg. 3-66 of the manual.  Brenda W.

If someone is alert and oriented you should not attempt to deliver care that they don't want. If you document that they are A&Ox3 and resisiting, the assumption must be that your are forcing them against their will.   Document that the resident refused care, not resisted.   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Corey Ali To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 7:13 PM Subject: Re: question for group   Where, Please? ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 9:33 PM Subject: Re: question for group   In a message dated 2/5/2004 6:21:17 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there a new rule somewhere that anyone who is alert & oriented can't be considered to be resisting care?  It's not a new rule.
