l) Restorative Nursing - Additional Scoring Indicators
Activities that are individualized to the resident's needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident's clinical record. These are nursing interventions that promote the resident's ability to adapt and adjust to living as independently and safely as possible. The concept actively focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning. The program shall be performed for a total of at least 15 minutes during a 24 hour-period. Measurable objective and interventions shall be documented in the care plan.

These are exercises performed by the resident or staff that are individualized to the resident's needs, planned, monitored, and evaluated. Movement by a resident that is incidental to dressing, bathing, etc. does not count as part of a formal restorative program. Staff must be trained in the procedures.

The following activities include repetition, physical or verbal cueing, and/or task segmentation provided by any staff member under the supervision of a licensed nurse.
Bed Mobility Training (O0500D) and/or walking training (O0500F)* - Bed Mobility - Activities provided to improve or maintain the resident's self-performance in moving to and from a lying position, turning side to side and position self in bed. Walking - Activities provided to improve or maintain the resident's self-performance in walking, with or without assistive devices.

The program is based on an assessment of the resident's unique voiding pattern. The individualized program requires notations of the resident's response to the program and subsequent evaluations as needed. It does not include simply tracking continence status, changing pads or wet garments, and random assistance with toileting or hygiene.

Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)
BIMS summary score (C0500 [GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO] 9)

The resident is cognitively impaired if one of the three following conditions exists.
B0100 Coma (B0100 = 1) and completely ADL dependent or ADL did not occur (G0110A1, G0110B1, G0110H1, G0110I1 all = 4 or 8)
C1000 Severely impaired cognitive skills (C1000 = 3)
B0700, C0700, C1000 Two or more of the following impairment indicators are present:
B0700 > 0 Problem being understood
C0700 = 1 Short term memory problem
C1000 > 0 Cognitive skills problem
And
One or more of the following severe impairment indicators are present:
B0700 [GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO] 2 Severe problem being understood
