* Hi Trish I need clarification from you I was told that you only mark BiPap/CPap if it was a new start in that admission. And if they came in with their own machine you did not mark it as yes regardless if the nurse assisted with it.So now I am told differently and I am quite upset if I have been told wrong. So what does "started " mean in the above sentence? | * Hi Trish I need clarification from you I was told that you only mark BiPap/CPap if it was a new start in that admission.
