Asked by oameme1
George Jackson is an 89-year-old resident being re-admitted from the hospital after a right leg, below-the-knee amputation, due to diabetes mellitus. He has Medicare Part A benefit days available. He will not be ready for skilled rehabilitation for prosthesis training until the stump heals. In the meantime, Mr. Jackson’s nurse will be developing his care plan after assessing his care needs, which include skin care, oral medications, a diabetic diet, an exercise program to preserve muscle tone and body condition, and observation to detect signs of deterioration in his condition or complications resulting from his restricted, but increasing, mobility.
What is Mr. Jackson skilled for?
a] He is not receiving any skilled nursing services and he should be issued a denial letter on admission.
b] He is skilled for development and management of the care plan until the care plan is essentially set due to the medical complexities of his non-skilled services.
c] He has direct skilled nursing need on a daily basis for management of diabetes.
d] He requires daily teaching and training skilled care.
