The pаtient is аn 80-yeаr-оld female with a histоry оf osteoarthritis in bilateral hips, knees, and shoulders. She has had total joint arthroplasties for both hips and her right knee. She was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff in the left shoulder 3 years ago and opted not to have it surgically repaired. She complains of severe osteoarthritic pain and limited motion in her right shoulder. She also has hypertension which is managed with low dose diuretics and a beta blocker. She takes tramadol for her osteoarthritis. Six weeks ago she had to have her right hip prosthesis replaced. She lives alone in a two-story home. She has adapted it so that she has a bedroom on the first floor and only has to negotiate stairs to do laundry in the basement and to enter and exit her home. There is a railing on the basement stairs and on the stairs entering the home from her garage. She is currently being seen for outpatient physical therapy in a hospital based outpatient setting. When would the physical therapist be required to submit the 1st recertification following the initial evaluation?
