I
agree - in an ideal world both disciplines would discuss the patient and then
complete the RAP. However in the real world, the only person who actually has
all the info needed at her/his fingertips is the MDS coordinator.
(Our
dietary person also fills out the nutrition RAP on EVERYONE even if not
triggerred and does not listen to instructions or suggestions for
doing it in a manner that truly reflects the patient).

Subject: dehydration rapWho completes the dehydration rap in your facility? Is it nursing or dietary? We have a new dietary person who is writing raps for 12 and 14 on everyone, even if they don't trigger. I spoke with her about why and she said because she doesn't know who will trigger when it is nursing issues like fever...she wants nursing to take it over. Any advice?Suzanne
