Read carefully and select the best answer

SCENARIO

A 78-year-old male is admitted to the IRF with a primary diagnosis of generalized weakness and fatigue following a recent hospitalization for pneumonia. The patient is able to ambulate with standby assistance and requires minimal assistance with ADLs. The pre-admission screening (PAS) indicates the patient will benefit from a therapy program. The patient is receiving physical therapy for gait training and general conditioning.

Does this patient meet the criteria for an IRF admission?

A) Yes, because the patient has a diagnosis and will benefit from therapy.

B) Yes, because the patient is over 65 and has been hospitalized.

C) No, because the patient does not require multiple therapy disciplines and the condition could be managed in a less intensive setting.

D) No, because the patient has not yet been in the IRF for 3 days.
