It’s important to tell the person doing the assessment if you need help every time you do any of these activities, or if there are times during the day that you can’t do an activity because of your condition.
Give as much detail as you can about your health care needs or limitations. For example, you can get more PCA help if you have complex health issues like wound care or need special equipment to breathe, and you can get more PCA help because of certain kinds of behavior.
Make sure to explain any changes in your health since your last assessment and if you think it has affected your need for PCA services.
