But why do we have to check 6f? I just checked definition in the manual. "...Resident has one or more foot problems (e.g.corns, bunions...). Includes ulcerated areas over plantar's warts on the foot..." Lana

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?
