RE: self admin med

[Heidi Ebertowski]

We observe three times and then allow them to self administer.  We then have the nurses document weekly how they are doing and incorporate it into the monthly documentation.  The MDS coordinator evaluates quarterly and annually doing a self administration assessment for the record.
