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,
