Family Interview

After determining the resident is not interview-able we (SW and I) called the resident's daughter, and she just said "nothing is important to her, she doesn't know what going on." Now would you code that?

I would not code that if she responds to music, staff reading to her, spiritual vists, pet therapy. Sometimes a family member doesn't spend the time they need to with the resident to realize what they are responding to. If the family is right then you need to code it as such, but I would investigate into it further with your staff and other departments for a true picture of the resident.
