I count all vitamins and minerals, even cranberry tabs. If there is an order per the MD, even if OTC, you count it. I also count a PPD in my meds and injection site if within my ARD.

On page 3-179 of the manual i discusses about antigens and vaccines under Injections. Then under clarifications, last bullet, it states: "If a test or vaccination is provided on one day and another vaccine provided on the next day, code "2" for the number of days when the resident received injections. If both injections were administered on the same day, code "1". Also include these medications when coding Item O1." > > Sounds as if they should be coded as medications also. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Holly McGran > > Sent: Feb 10, 2004 7:01 AM > > To: "AANAC List Serve (E-mail)" > > Subject: section O > > > > > > You guys don't count a Mantoux (PPD) as a medication do you? > > Holly QI in CT > > /---------------------------------------------------------- > > The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the > > American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators > > "Committed to the Assessment Professional" > > Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
