If she was not walking in her room during the assessment period I would code
it a 8/8 and maybe make a note in the chart explaining why she was not
walking during that period of time. I would not code it as 0/0 if she was
not walking during that period of time.

Subject: section G coding
Hello Everyone,
I have a resident that opened on 02/21/2004 for her annual assessment.
During the assessment period she went out an had a skin graft done. I
am confused on coding section G. For walking in room she was a 0/0
prior to having the skin graft done. However, since the skin graft she
was a 8/8 what would you code her as. I coded her as a 0/0.
thanks in advance,
Billie Stewart, RNAC
