1) The interdisciplinary team is in the process of completing a Quarterly assessment for a resident.  The ARD was yesterday.  The dietitian reports to the MDS coordinator that she just realized the resident's weight on the quarterly three months ago was incorrect. The weight that was coded and care planned was 102 lbs. and the actual weight was 120 lbs.  What is the correct course of action now?

a. Modify the previous Quarterly to correct the weight and continue to complete the regularly scheduled Quarterly that is already in progress when the error was found

b. Modify the previous Quarterly to correct the weight

c. Modify the previous Quarterly to correct the weight and follow up with a significant correction to prior Quarterly within 14 days

d. Modify the previous Quarterly to correct the weight.  Change the reason for assessment on the current Quarterly to a significant correction of prior Quarterly

2) After completing the Quarterly MDS, when must it be transmitted to the national QIES ASAP system?
