-The definition of Bed Mobility that
appears on page 3-76 of the manual includes the use of a recliner. The
definition of bed mobility per MDS manual "How the resident moves to and from
a lying position , turns side to side, and positions body while in bed, in a
recliner, or thoer type of furniture the resident sleeps in, rather than a
bed." From this definition, it would be inappropriate to code any
resident with an 8/8 in bed mobility, they have to have slept somewhere in the
past 7 days.

Subject: BED MOBILITY
What if your resident does not sleep in
bed ever. They only sit/sleep in their recliner chair d/t breathing
difficulties. Do you could 8/8 as did not occur or do you look at the
help she needs in the recliner chair????
