Coding Instructions
for Q0490, Does the resident’s clinical record
document a request that this question (Q0500B) be asked only
on comprehensive assessments?
•
Code 0, No: if there is no notation in the resident’s clinical record that they do not want
to be asked Question Q0500B.
•
Code 1, Yes: if there is a notation in the resident’s clinical record to not ask Question
Q0500B except on comprehensive assessments.
Unless this is a comprehensive assessment (A0310A=01, 03, 04, 05), skip to item Q0610,
Referral. If this is a comprehensive assessment, proceed to the next item, Q0500B.
Coding Tips
•
Carefully review the resident’s clinical record, including prior MDS 3.0 assessments, to
determine if the resident or other respondent has previously responded “No” to item
Q0550A.
If this is a comprehensive assessment, proceed to item Q0500B, regardless of the previous
responses to item Q0550A.
