Which of the following is NOT one of the areas assessed for non-interviewable residents?

Medication management is not typically one of the areas assessed for non-interviewable residents. Non-interviewable residents are often those who are unable to communicate due to cognitive impairments, severe medical conditions, or other barriers. In assessing these individuals, areas such as nutrition, dialysis, and pressure ulcers are evaluated because they focus on observable conditions and interventions that can be assessed through physical examination or caregiver reports rather than direct communication with the resident. For instance, nutrition status can be assessed through dietary logs or physical assessments, dialysis treatment can be monitored through medical records, and pressure ulcers can be observed visually by caregivers.

In contrast, medication management generally requires input from the resident regarding their understanding, adherence, and experiences with medications, which cannot be reliably obtained from someone who is non-interviewable. This distinction is crucial in understanding the assessment process for residents who cannot participate in interviews.
