Here's how the RUG grouper calculates the points.

The RUG grouper only uses the self-performance (column A) score for eating to calculate the ADL score for G1h, as follows:

If K5a (parenteral/IV) is checked, the eating score is 3. Or if K5b (feeding tube) is checked and EITHER (1) K6a is 51% or more calories OR (2) K6a is 26% to 50% calories and K6b is 501 cc or more per day fluid enteral intake, then the eating ADL score is 3.

If neither K5a nor K5b (with appropriate intake) is checked, evaluate the chart to the right:
