POA status
I have a patient that had moderate malnutrition on admission which progressed to severe (complete duodenal obstruction d/t cancer). Patient was on TPN and eventually died during this admission.
In your assessment, does this fall into the category of an exacerbation like CHF where this would be POA(N) or in progression of renal failure staging where it would be POA(Y)?
Any relevant guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
