The attention of the facility and assessor is drawn to the distinction between the use of the words "shall," "should," and "may" in this Chapter:
- (1) "Shall" is the term used to indicate a mandatory statement, the only acceptable method under the present standards.
- (2) "Should" is the term used to reflect the most preferable procedure, yet allowing for the use of effective alternatives.
- (3) "May" is the term used to reflect an acceptable method that is recognized, but not necessarily preferred.
