How would you code a mushy heel in section M. This heel is mushy, red and purple.
It is not open and does not blanche. If I code it as a stage I and it opens later it
will look like it occurred in our facility. She was admitted with it that way. Is
there any guidelines on how to code a mushy heel? I would appreciate any imput.
Thank you Mary Lynn
