Procedures performed via indwelling device are coded to approach value, _________________
Correct Answer
percutaneousExplanation
Procedures performed via indwelling device are coded to approach value, percutaneous. This means that when coding these procedures, the approach value should be percutaneous, indicating that the procedure was performed through the skin or a natural orifice, without the need for a surgical incision. This coding distinction is important for accurate medical documentation and billing purposes.Rate this question:

primaryExplanation
If a patient has cancer that has been removed and it returns, the appropriate code to use would be for "primary" malignant neoplasm by location. This means that the cancer has originated in the same location as before and is not a new or secondary cancer. The term "primary" refers to the original site of the cancer and distinguishes it from any secondary or metastatic cancers that may have spread to other parts of the body.Rate this question:

Pt has failure of a transplanted organ. Which code comes first? A. Code the specific organ failure first B. Use a code for Failure and Rejection of a transplanted organ
Correct Answer
b, BExplanation
When a patient experiences failure of a transplanted organ, it is important to code the specific organ failure first before coding for failure and rejection of the transplanted organ. This is because the specific organ failure provides more specific and detailed information about the condition, while the code for failure and rejection of a transplanted organ is a more general code that encompasses various reasons for organ failure. Therefore, coding the specific organ failure first ensures accurate and detailed documentation of the patient's condition.Rate this question:

Pleural effusion is not separately coded when present with CHF
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When pleural effusion is present with congestive heart failure (CHF), it is not separately coded because it is considered to be a manifestation or complication of CHF. Pleural effusion occurs when excess fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs, and it is commonly seen in patients with CHF due to increased pressure in the heart and blood vessels. Therefore, when coding for CHF, the presence of pleural effusion is not coded separately but is instead included as part of the CHF diagnosis.Rate this question:

If CABG is performed from internal mammary artery to the LAD, which qualifier (7thcharacter) is selected?
- A.
L Internal Mammary
- B.
Left Anterior Descending
Correct Answer
A. L Internal MammaryExplanation
When performing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) from the internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, the qualifier "L" is selected. This indicates that the procedure involves the left side of the body, specifically the left internal mammary artery. The LAD artery is one of the major coronary arteries located on the front surface of the heart, and it supplies blood to the front wall of the left ventricle.Rate this question:

A colostomy stoma is on the ___________ of the body
Correct Answer
outsideExplanation
A colostomy stoma is on the outside of the body. This means that it is located on the external surface of the body, rather than internally. A colostomy stoma is created surgically to divert the flow of waste from the colon to a stoma bag, which is attached to the outside of the body. By being located on the outside, it allows for easier management and care of the stoma and the stoma bag.Rate this question:

The code for fracture of temporal bone includes the _____________ bone
Correct Answer
orbitalExplanation
The code for fracture of the temporal bone includes the orbital bone because the orbital bone is a part of the temporal bone. The temporal bone is a large, irregular bone situated at the sides and base of the skull, and it consists of several parts, including the orbital bone. Fractures of the temporal bone can involve various structures within the bone, including the orbital bone, which is responsible for housing and protecting the eye.Rate this question:

Casting of a nondisplaced fracture is coded to the root operation __________________ in the Placement section.
Correct Answer
immobilizationExplanation
The correct answer is "immobilization." When a nondisplaced fracture is casted, the main purpose is to immobilize the affected area and prevent further movement or displacement of the bone. Immobilization is the appropriate root operation in the Placement section because it accurately describes the action of casting in this context.Rate this question:
