I'd help you with this, but I'm not sure what you are asking?

If for MDS purposes, it is just a yes/no questions if the residents had any abnormal labs since last assessment. I mark yes if anything has been abnormal, including glucometers.

I don't have the MDS in front of me, but I believe it's if they had any abnormal labs in the last 90 days, not necessarily since the last assessment, since some are less than 90 days apart.
