Subject: RE: Raps
Absolutely, set the ARD the way you do. It gives you plenty of time to
complete on the 14th day. As far as RAPS: The easiest way to complete them is
to remember they are used to explain what the problem is and then summarize
the impact the problem has (or DOES NOT have) on the client. The RAI has a
detailed explanation of the intent of each RAP area - use that as a review and
always print off the Trigger sheet from your program. If a RAP triggers that
has no bearing on the patient - then it does not need addressed in much
detail (example: delirium will trigger for any change in mood - including
change in sleep. this does not necessarily mean the patient HAS delirium, it
just is one of the items that will trigger RAP #1. So, just write on the RAp
that it was triggered by change in sleep due to NH placement, or pain, or
whatever the reason is, and there is NO sign of delirium. NOT necessary to
pursue on care plan). Then when the RAPS are done, you have until day 21 to
complete the care plan changes. Hope this helps, and good
luck
I am learning how to work the
Raps and looking for some guidance. I would like any cheat sheets or
worksheets anybody may have? And I am trying to figure the best way to set
my ARD date. We have been using our 14 day as the initial assessment that
means it has to be complete on the 14 day. Can I set the ARD for the 13 day
so I have time to work the raps on the 14 day so I won't be late? Any
pointers would help.
Thanks,
