2 divided by 7=.2857 Move decimal point over 2 places equals 28.57%; round off = 28.6% Try to remember divide the smaller number by the larger (numerator by denominator)

I've gone totally brain dead this afternoon and I need help. My Don wants to know how the percentile rank is figured on a QI. Here' s the scoop: Cognitive patterns: # in numerator =2; # in denominator =7; facility percent is 28.6, comparison group percent is 9.7 %. percentile rank is 92%( it was flagged, of course). Now, I need to know how they arrived at the 92% number. I can get all the other numbers, but can't figure that one out. Now, another problem. I have a resident who had a cva yesterday, 4/4/04. She is comatose and I am starting a change of condition MDS on her. I have skipped the areas it said to skip if the resident was comatose and now I am at section G, physical functioning. This area has a 7 day look back, but she has been comatose only 48 hours, so I can't mark her as an 8 because it hasn't been 7 days. Prior to that she was fairly independent in adl's, usually needing only supervision. So, how do I code that? No one here has any idea of how to proceed. Thanks for all your help and support when ever I need it.
