The OASIS item does not have a place to report specific information about the use of assistive devices, adaptive methods, or caregiver assistance or other important observations about dressing. Document the specifics in the appropriate location(s) in the clinical record. For example, “Independent in upper body dressing using a buttonhook, dressing stick, and clothing adapted with Velcro closures.” It's the reporting of both OASIS and non-OASIS data that provides the most accurate picture of the patient's status.
