I always write RAPs with these three
thoughts in mind: What is the problem? (RAP trigger) Why is it a problem? (Dx,
symptom or underlying cause) What are we going to do about it?
(interventions, proceed or not to CP).

Lisa,
I once had a surveyor to say "why" in the
rap summary and not "what" since the mds tells the what. So I look at every
trigger and try to identify why. I sometimes c/p areas that do not trigger
that I feel are potentials, such as pressure ulcers and falls. Hope this will
be helpful.

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,
Lisa
