Necrosis of burned skin should be coded as a non-healed burn, aka acute. This means that the burned skin has not healed and is currently in an acute state. The term "acute" refers to a condition or illness that is of short duration and severe in nature. Therefore, in the context of a non-healed burn, "acute" accurately describes the ongoing state of the necrosis in the burned skin.Rate this question:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy converted to an open cholecystectomy is coded as percutaneous endoscopic ____________ and open ________________
- A.
Excision ; resection
- B.
Inspection ; excision
- C.
Resection ; inspection
- D.
Inspection ; resection
Correct Answer
D. Inspection ; resectionExplanation
In a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the surgeon uses a small camera (endoscope) to inspect the abdomen and remove the gallbladder through small incisions. If the procedure is converted to an open cholecystectomy, it means that the surgeon had to change their approach and make a larger incision to remove the gallbladder. Therefore, the correct answer is "inspection ; resection" because the surgeon initially inspects the abdomen using the endoscope and then performs a resection (removal) of the gallbladder through the larger incision.Rate this question:

Adverse effect and underdosing codes are sequenced _______________
Correct Answer
secondaryExplanation
The correct answer is "secondary". In medical coding, adverse effect codes and underdosing codes are sequenced secondary to the main diagnosis or condition.

For any documented infected burn site, use an additional code for the ______________.
Correct Answer
infectionExplanation
The question is asking for an additional code to be used for a documented infected burn site.

Cephalopelvic disproportion code o33.4 (maternal care for disproportion of __________________________ origin) is more specific than 033.9 (maternal care for disproportion, unspecified)
Correct Answer
mixed maternal and fetal originExplanation
The correct answer is "mixed maternal and fetal origin" because it provides more specific information about the cause of the cephalopelvic disproportion. The code O33.4 indicates that the disproportion is due to a combination of factors originating from both the mother and the fetus, whereas the code 033.9 simply states that the cause is unspecified. By specifying the mixed origin, healthcare providers can have a better understanding of the specific factors contributing to the condition and provide appropriate care.Rate this question:

When an attempted termination of pregnancy results in a liveborn fetus, assign code ______________________
- A.
Encounter for elective termination of pregnancy (Z33.2)
- B.
Outcome of Delivery (Z37)
- C.
A and B
Correct Answer
C. A and BExplanation
When an attempted termination of pregnancy results in a liveborn fetus, the appropriate codes to assign would be A and B. Code A, Outcome of Delivery (Z37), is used to indicate the outcome of a delivery, regardless of the gestational age or method of delivery. Code B, Encounter for elective termination of pregnancy (Z33.2), is used when the purpose of the encounter is an elective termination of pregnancy, but in this case, it would not be applicable as the outcome was a liveborn fetus.Rate this question:

Prostate is part of the MALE _____________ SYSTEM
Correct Answer
reproductiveExplanation
The correct answer is "reproductive" because the prostate is an organ that is part of the male reproductive system.

When pt come in for HIV screening, also code high risk sexual activity if applicable
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement suggests that when a patient comes in for HIV screening, the healthcare provider should also code for high-risk sexual activity if applicable. This means that if the patient engages in behaviors that put them at a higher risk of contracting HIV, such as unprotected sex with multiple partners or sharing needles, it is important to document this information in the medical coding. This helps in accurately assessing the patient's risk factors and providing appropriate care and interventions.Rate this question:

hypertrophic nailExplanation
Onychauxis, or hypertrophic nail, is a disorder of nail plate growth that is characterized by an opaque, yellow-brown thickening of the nail plate with associated gross hyperkeratosis, elongation, and increased curvature. This condition causes the nails to become abnormally thick and hard, often causing discomfort and difficulty in trimming or maintaining them. It can be caused by various factors such as trauma, fungal infections, or underlying medical conditions. Treatment options include regular trimming, topical medications, and addressing the underlying cause if present.Rate this question:
