don't have to code it if conformed consent but you should careplan it and note it in the social services
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andrea Marks Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 8:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Choice Vs. Resisting Care 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. /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
