26 Tex. Admin. Code § 262.8 - Comprehensive Nursing Assessment
(a) An RN must
complete a comprehensive nursing assessment of an individual in person:
(1) if the initial IPC includes a sufficient
number of RN nursing units for the program provider's RN to perform a
comprehensive nursing assessment as described in §
262.103(o)(1) of
this chapter (relating to Process for Enrollment of Applicants);
(2) if there is a significant change in an
individual's health or functional status:
(A)
that, based on a determination by the RN, will not normally resolve itself
without further intervention; and
(B) requires review or revision of the
IPC;
(3) at least
annually if a nursing service is on the individual's renewal IPC;

comprehensive nursing assessment of the individual is no longer providing a
nursing service to the individual, except as provided in subsection (b) of this
section.
(b) The
comprehensive nursing assessment required to be completed in accordance with
subsection (a)(5) of this section does not have to be completed in person if:

not the annual comprehensive nursing assessment; and
(2) an unlicensed service provider is not
performing a delegated nursing task or a health maintenance activity for the
individual.
