Notes: Covariates with p ≥ .10 were excluded from the final models; cells in the table corresponding to these covariates have been left blank. ADL = activity of daily living; Avg. = average; RN = registered nurse; LPN = licensed practical nurse; RUG = Resource Utilization Group III; CPS = Cognitive Performance Scale.
