Sorry but I disagree. It should be coded as a 3 as the resident did participate in toileting by lifting up for staff to remove the pad. Page 3-77 in the RAI manual states, "how the resident.......changes pad........" To be coded a 4 the res. would not have assisted in any way during the entire 7 day observation period. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy Kimpe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 7:19 AM Subject: Re: code for toileting
