Re: Dr Orders When to count

[carol maher]

I would only count the "may ambulate" from your questions and I would only count that one IF the resident had been on ambulation restrictions and would now be allowed to ambulate.  The other scenarios do not really require a physician's order so should not be counted on the MDS.  ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 6:27 AM Subject: Re: Dr Orders When to count Would you count an order that states "may go out on pass" ,"may ambulate", "family may bring food for resident" or "may shower"?
