C. A review of all ADLs in item G0110 indicates that the resident’s coding points have decreased by two or more points in one area or one point in two areas.

D. A review of Bed Mobility, Transfers, Eating, and Toilet Use in item G0110 indicates that the resident’s coding points have increased by two or more points in one area or one point in two areas.

How is the long-stay MDS 3.0 QM “Percent of Low-Risk Residents Who Lose Control of Their Bowel or Bladder” computed?

C.Applying covariates “incontinent of bowel or bladder” and “ADL dependence”

D. Defining low risk based on frequency of incontinence episodes.

Which of the following is true regarding how a Quality Measure is calculated?

A.Each of the Quality Measure calculations is risk-adjusted.

B. The basic calculation for each measure consists of a simple ratio expressed as a percentage.

C. The numerator for each measure consists of all residents who could have the condition.

D. The denominator for each measure consists of all residents in the facility.

For the MDS 3.0 QM “Percent of Residents Who Made Improvements in Function (Short Stay),” what happens to the QM score for a facility that has a typical proportion of residents with the covariate conditions?

A. The QM score will be higher than the observed score.

B. The QM score will be lower than the observed score.

C. No effect on the score.

D. Unknown: It depends on how many residents are in the numerator.

A. The resident has a prognosis of life expectancy of less than six months.

B. The resident has a one-level decline in any of the late-loss ADLs.

C. The resident has a two-level decline in any of the late-loss ADLs.

D. Three of the late-loss ADLs indicate total dependence and the fourth indicates extensive assistance on the prior assessment.

For the long-stay MDS 3.0 QM “Percent of Residents Experiencing One or More Falls With Major Injury,” which of the following is true?
