Section KSWALLOWING/NUTRITIONAL STATUS November 6, 2014 1-3PM Swallowing Disorders Height and Weight Weight Change Nutritional Approaches
Objectives • Understand that Section K is intended to assess the many conditions that could affect the resident’s ability to maintain adequate nutrition and hydration • Understand how to code Section K correctly • Understand what needs to be on the care plan
K0100: Swallowing Disorder • Ask resident about difficulty swallowing and each symptom during 7 day look-back period • Observe when eating, drinking, or swallowing • Interview staff • Review medical record
K0100: Swallowing Disorder • Do notcode if interventions successful • Code a symptom even if it occurred only once • Check all that apply during 7 look-back period
K0200: Height & Weight • Consistent facility policy and procedure • Mathematical rounding, nearest inch/pound • A. Height • Most recent Admission/Entry or Reentry (If last ht. recorded was more than 1 yr. ago, measure the ht. again) • B. Weight • Most recent in last 30 days • On subsequent assessments, if last recorded weight >30 days prior to ARD, or previous weight not available, weigh again • If multiple weights in preceding month, most recent weight • Unable to weigh, use Dash (-)
K0300: Weight LossK0310: Weight Gain • Two Snapshots in time: 30 Days, 180 Days • New Admission • Ask resident, family, or significant other • Consult resident’s physician • Review transfer documentation • Compare admission weight to previous weight of 30 & 180 days • If less, calculate % weight loss • If more, calculate % weight gain
K0300: Weight LossK0310: Weight Gain Subsequent Assessments • Compare weight in current observation period to weight • in observation period 30 days ago • in observation period 180 days ago • If less, calculate % weight loss • If more, calculate% weight gain
K0300: Weight Loss Calculate Percentage (5%) in past 30 days • Mathematical round weight before calculating • Multiply previous weight by 0.95 to determine resident weight after 5% weight loss • Example: 160 pounds x 0.95 = 152 pounds • A resident whose weight drops from 160 to 152 lbs or less has experienced 5% or more weight loss
K0300: Weight LossCalculate Percentage (10%)in past 180 days • Mathematical round weight before calculating • Multiply previous weight by 0.90 to determine resident weight after 10% weight loss • Example: 160 pounds x 0.90 = 144 pounds • A resident whose weight drops from 160 to 144 lbs or less has experienced 10% or more weight loss
K0310: Weight Gain Calculate Percentage (5%) in past 30 days • Mathematical round weight before calculating • Multiply previous weight by 1.05 to determine resident weight after 5% weight gain • Example: 160 pounds x 1.05 = 168 pounds • A resident whose weight increases from 160 to 168 lbs or more has experienced 5% or more weight gain
K0310: Weight GainCalculate Percentage (10%)in past 180 days • Mathematical round weight before calculating • Multiply previous weight by 1.10 to determine resident weight after 10% weight gain • Example: 160 pounds x 1.10 = 176 pounds • A resident whose weight increases from 160 to 176 lbs or more has experienced 10% or more weight gain
K0300: Weight Loss • Code whether planned/managed or unplanned/unmanaged • Loss of 5% or more in last month OR • Loss of 10% or more in last six months • Code 0. No or unknown • Not experience defined weight loss • Prior weight not available • Code 1. Yes, physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen • Code 2. Yes, not on physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen
K0310: Weight Gain • Code whether planned/managed or unplanned/unmanaged • Gain of 5% or more in last month OR • Gain of 10% or more in last six months • Code 0. No or unknown • Not experience defined weight gain • Prior weight not available • Code 1. Yes, physician-prescribed weight-gain regimen • Code 2. Yes, not physician-prescribed weight-gain regimen
K0510: Nutritional Approaches Column 1. While Not a Resident Column 2. While a Resident 7 day look-back period Priortoadmission/entry or reentry 7 day look-back period Afteradmission/entry or reentry • Review medical record for 7 day look-back period • All nutrition and hydration received at nursing home, hospital as outpatient or inpatient.
K0510: Nutritional Approaches • A. Parenteral/ IV feeding • Supporting documentation reflecting need for additional fluid intake for nutrition or hydration or prevention of nutrition need or dehydration. • IV fluids or hyperalimentation, including TPN, administered continuously or intermittently • IV fluids KVO (Keep Vein Open) • IV fluids in Medication Piggybacks • Hypodermoclysis and subcutaneous ports in hydration therapy • IV fluids to prevention of dehydration
K0510: Nutritional Approaches • A. Parenteral/IV feedings do not include: • IV medications • IV fluids used to reconstitute or dilute meds • IV flushes • IV fluids administered: • In conjunction with chemotherapy or dialysis • as routine part of operative or diagnostic procedure or recovery room stay
K0510: Nutritional Approaches - Diets • C. Mechanically altered • Specifically prepared to alter the texture or consistency of food to facilitate oral intake. • Examples include: soft solids, pureed foods, ground meats, thickened liquid. • Not automatically a therapeutic diet. • Enteral feeding formulas • Donot code as mechanically altered diet
K0510: Nutritional Approaches - Diets • D. Therapeutic • Diet intervention ordered by health care practitioner as part of treatment for disease or clinical condition manifesting altered nutritional status, to eliminate, decrease, or increase certain substances in the diet (e.g. sodium, potassium) • Supplements not automatically classify diet as therapeutic • Enteral feeding formulas • Code as therapeutic diet only if used to manage problematic health conditions (e.g. residents with diabetes)
Scenario Mr. K. has been able to take some fluids orally, however, due to his progressing MS, his dysphagia is not allowing him to remain hydrated enough. Therefore, he received the following fluid amounts over the last 7 days via supplemental TFs while in the hospital and after he was admitted to the NH. While in the Hospital While in the NH Mon 400cc Mon 510cc Tues 520cc Tues 520cc Weds 500cc Weds 490cc Thurs 480cc Total 1900ccTotal 1500cc Coding: K0710B1 would be coded 1, 500cc/day or less. K0710B3 would be coded 1, 500cc/day or less
Continued Rationale: The total fluid intake within the last 7 days while Mr. K. was not a resident was 1,900cc (400cc+520CC+500cc+480CC = 1,900cc) Average fluid intake while not a resident totaled 475cc (1,900cc divided by 4 days) 475cc is less than 500cc, therefore code 1, 500cc/day or less is correct for K0710B1, While NOT a Resident. The total fluid intake within the last 7 days while Mr. K. was a resident of the NH was 1,520cc (510cc+520cc+490cc = 1,520). Average fluid intake while a resident totaled 507cc (1,520cc divided by 3 days). 507cc is greater than 500cc, therefore code 2, 501cc/day or more is correct for K0710B2, While a Resident. The total fluid intake during the entire 7 days (includes fluid intake while he was in the hospital AND while he was in the NH) was 3,420cc (1,900c+1,520cc). Average fluid intake during the entire 7 days was 489cc (3,420 divided by 7 days). 489cc is less than 500cc, therefore code 1,500cc/day or less is correct for K0710B3, During Entire 7 Days.
Care Plan Considerations • State what swallowing/eating problems the elder has and interventions to prevent complications • Provide what interventions are in place to prevent weight loss. This needs to be looked at on admission in order to prevent any weight loss. Include what the dietitian recommends. • Also include interventions for any significant weight gain
Care Plan Considerations continued • If tube feeding is required be specific with the care needed • This is also where you would put there favorite foods, when they want to eat, the foods they dislike, and what they want for snacks and when • Always remember to care plan expected weight loss, example weight loss is expected D/T diuresis because of fluid retention and use of diuretics.
