1) Clarification on Z0500: An admission and 5-day for a resident was completed and signed on 3/26/2024. On 4/30/2024, an error was noted and a Modification Request was implemented. Should the Z0500 date remain the same as the original date of completion (3/26/2024) or should it be changed to the date of the error being discovered (4/30/2024)? Where would this information be located in the RAI Manual?
2) If a resident is scheduled to have a 3-day LOA visiting their sister, would a DCRA need to be completed?
3) If a resident has quarter rails for enabler/mobility assistance, would it still be coded as a restraint since the cannot be easily removed by the resident?
4) If a resident has an unstageable PU that is healing, goes to the hospital, and when they return the PU is now staged as a Stage 3, would it be coded as unstageable or Stage 3?

7) If a resident triggered the Quality Measure (QM) for a long-stay indwelling catheter in Jan. 2024 and then passed away, would the passing remove the resident from triggering the measure?
8) If the social services worker completes the PHQ mood interview and then one is completed by the psychologist/psychiatrist during the look-back period, which one should be used to code the MDS?
9) If a resident says his name is 'James", the same as on his birth certificate, but the resident is unable to produce the birth certificate or insurance/ID cards, but does have Medicare documentation that says 'Jimmy' and per the hospital paperwork (under Permanent Comments) it specifically says 'Jimmy is his legal name, would it be acceptable to use the Medicare documentation as the 'final say' for the legal name?
