I have a medicare resident who was receiving therapies. Therapies have stopped. He has "multiple ischemic ulcers" on both feet (diabetic), but they are eschar covered (unstagable, but stage IV for mds purposes), and the daily treatment is for skin prep. This is not a "daily dressing change"!! Can I skill him for wounds? I need an answer quick!
Thanks! Nancy
I'm at home so I can't quote my source but I believe that 2 or more pressure ulcers of any stage or one stage III or IV will skill a resident weather or not it's got a dressing.
