Andrea, does the limitation on the one side interfere with daily functioning (particularly with ADL's) or place the resident at risk for injury? Are you possibly looking at a 1-2 rather than a 2-1? Winona

We are having a discussion concerning coding ROM at work. A person who has limited range of motion on one side and full loss on the other side (shoulder), is coded as a 2,1? Is there a tool you use when coding ROM? It would really be helpful to us. Andrea Marks, RN, BSN MDS Coordinator Carroll Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center 1150 Varnum St. N.W.
