Remember, if you are in a facility where the medical staff opt to use prn medication
instead of the WHO "by the clock, by the mouth, by the pill" method, then you will
have a higher rate.
Also, some facilities are incorrectly interpreting the statement "if the medication
makes the resident pain-free then code "0"" to mean if the prn works code 0.
