I would not code neutrogena as a med. I would not code as limited ROM if
they are able to do the movements just not on command. The manual
states on page 3-108:
"Staff observations of the ROM activity can be used to determine
whether or not a resident can actually perform the activity, regardless
of whether or not the movement was 'on command,' provided the movement
fits the criteria specified for G1(B), ADL Support provided and occurred
during the assessment period of observation."

Subject: ROM SECTION G
I know this has been discussed in the recent passed
but we're still confused on how to code this section.
If a resident moves some extremity at times but does
not move on command, do we code limitation or do we
code no limitation? Is there any source documentation.
The book seems to indicate it should be coded limited
if " the resident can't perform the required task"
Does that mean on command or whenever? This particular
resident is a "3" for cognition and can not follow any direction.
All responses are greatly appreciated
Thanx in advance
P.S. I got no responses to my question I asked
yesterday. Would neutrogena shampoo be considered a
med?
Thanx.
