Test your knowledge questions:

1) What kind of documentation would be required to use diagnosis code R27.8 “Other - Lack of Coordination” as the primary diagnosis code?

2) What needs to be completed for Section V when a resident discharges within 14 days of admission?

3) The RAI Guidance Manual states "...a minimum of one self-care or mobility discharge goal must be coded". Should there be a goal set for all items even if it is set at the same level as admission? Does dashing goals affect payment?

4) If a resident is cognitively intact, would behaviors not be coded?

5) What might be some best practices for collecting and documenting section GG?
