But that's exactly what Debbie was saying with the
"everytime" statement. You cannot code "4" for self performance unless
s/he is totally dependent for all of the 7 day lookback. That means every
time the activity is performed. That's how the determination is made for "least
dependent" self-performance.

I disagree about the "everytime" statement. See page 3-82 "code
for the
least dependent self performance. For adl support provided, see
3-92
"For each category code the maximun amount of support the
resident
received over the last 7 days"

You can't code a "4" unless he in a "4" EVERY time the
activity was
performed. Thus, a "3" is the most
appropriate.
