RE: section M

[Debbie Davis]

does the patient have pain or difficulty walking? If no, leave as you have coded. Otherwise the RAI indicates you would mark M6a -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of HighlandPark414-MDS Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 12:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: section M Hi guys, I have a resident with intact blister to her left heel. We have an order to swab area with betadine and leave it open to air.  I coded the blister on section M as a stage II pressure ulcer. I also checked 5e for ulcer care. Since we do not applying the dressing I did not check 6f. I think I do not have to check anything else regards this blister, but my DON said I need to check 6a for foot problems and care. Does she right?
