Weak — does not survive | Why it fails | Strong — defensible |
|---|
“Incontinent care given.” | No program, no continence outcome, no skin protection — reads as custodial. | The toileting-program model note in §3: scheduled program, continence outcome, skin status, and the Section H linkage. |
“Foley patent.” | No medical indication, no site/output, no necessity review — a catheter-justification citation. | “Catheter for [documented indication]; patent, clear urine, secured, site clean, closed system, output adequate; necessity reviewed.” |
“Resident confused.” | Misses that new confusion may be a UTI — no workup. | “New confusion from baseline with cloudy/foul urine and low-grade fever — UA/culture ordered, provider/representative notified.” |
