MDS 3.0: Section D
Hours: 0.75
The items in this section address mood distress and social isolation. Mood distress is a serious condition that is underdiagnosed and undertreated in the nursing home and is associated with significant morbidity. It is particularly important to identify signs and symptoms of mood distress among nursing home residents because these signs and symptoms can be treatable. Social isolation refers to an actual or perceived lack of contact with other people and tends to increase with age. It is a risk factor for physical and mental illness, a predictor of mortality, and important to assess in order to identify engagement strategies. The content of this course includes MDS Manual revisions effective 10/1/2023.
