I appreciate the reply, but I am a little unsure of what you mean by the the "eating" part of your response. ----- Original Message ----- From: Olga Lawrence To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 6:15 PM Subject: Re: Sec K IV fluids/ABT Yes; I would count IV fluids contained in your medication when coding section K , in addition to factoring that service into the coding of  "eating" for section G.  The definition given for "eating activity"  includes enteral/parenteral fluid administration.                                                      Debbie Nichols <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If you have someone receiving IV ABT for example ampicillin that is mixed with 250 ml of fluid and no other IV fluids are being administered, do you count this in Sec K?  Our dietician says you do not count it in Sec K.  Could someone please clarify.
