    facility responsibility to the obese

    Even with diabetics the patients have a right to eat whatever they want. All we can do is educate and give appropriate diets. If they order takeout its on them.

    coding isolation

    So why have this item on the MDS at all? If contact, droplet, etc don't meet the criteria then the only people who could code it possibly are the ones in swing beds.

    Spoke with another person higher in the company yesterday about this. She says, and I quote "we never code contact isolation because it is just standard ppe". I am just not getting this! Why don't they want the extra money

    tPA Question

    That is interesting. I get them after all the damage is done (SNF), so didn't know initial a CVA wouldn't show on a CT unless hemm. I guess I assumed that a clot or such would show at that time.
