Question

Which of the following services performed while a resident would not qualify a Medicare Part A resident for extensive services in the nursing component of PDPM?

Answer 1

Under the PDPM, basic daily care activities such as assistance with eating or dressing do not qualify a resident for extensive services because they are routine and do not require significant nursing resources.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to the Medicare Part A coverage for extensive services in the nursing component of the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). In the PDPM, certain services qualify a resident for extensive services which affects their classification under the nursing component. Extensive services typically include procedures or care requirements that demand significant nursing resources. However, not all services qualify. An example of a service that would not typically qualify a resident for extensive services under PDPM could be basic daily care activities such as assistance with eating or dressing, since these are considered routine and not extensive. These services do not require the frequency, intensity, or complexity typically associated with the extensive services category.
