She reported that the purpose of the visit was for a follow up on test results from a chemical stress test. The results of the test would indicate if she could have surgery on her leg. She had fallen and needed surgery on her hip, but the cardiologists would not approve. The test that was done would indicate if she could have the surgery or not. Resident #50 stated that she could not get to the appointment because the staff member that drives the van for appointments was out sick.

When asked if the resident had the brace 3-4 weeks ago, the OT stated, oh she's had it longer than that, probably a month prior to that. A review of the OT progress and updated plan of care, dated 9/23/20, indicated the justification for the update was to reduce left upper extremity (LUE) pain due to d/t right (R) lateral neck flexion. The PT progress and updated plan of care, dated 8/31/20, indicated the goals were adjusted and the neck master Cervical extension support was ordered per the facility material's management.
