Re: Estimating therapy

[Michelle Witges]

I guess I opened a can of worms.  The resident was admitted on 1-23, ARD set for 1-28.  All three therapies were ordered by MD.  All 3 saw and evaluated and prescribed therapy.  He only received one PT treatment before he had a dramatic decline on 1-25.  No therapy was given after 1-24 and he expired on 2-2.  My question is, would it be appropriate to estimate therapy minutes for the 5 day assessment since he only received one PT treatment?
