Thank you for all your input.  Sometimes I feel like I am reading too much into something and other times just don't seem to get it.

Look at page 3-153 of the RAI - section K5a. It plainly says that this includes IV fluids in IV piggybacks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Debbie Nichols Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 5:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sec K IV fluids/ABT 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.
