Good morning Group,
I resident that is alert and oriented X3. Refused meds, ordered treatments. We got
sited because the MDS did not code for resisting care. It is the SS impression that he
is simply stating his right to refuse. I remember reading something last week from the
group about this.
Can someone give me a source to back up failing to code resisting of care due to right
to choose. Thanks.
