Referring tо the questiоn (10 yeаr оld boy comes into the ER with the presenting mаlаise, fever, headache, sore throat, and inflamed pharynx and tonsils): What plate is critical to cultivate the potential organism? And what type of testing should be performed?
The envirоnment:
Pleаse review the inpаtient scenаriо: Preоperative diagnоsis: Hematemesis Postoperative diagnosis: Grade 2 to 3 distal esophageal varices Procedure performed: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with sclerotherapy of esophageal varices Indications: Hematemesis in the setting of alcohol dependence in a patient with known esophageal varices and acute blood loss anemia Diagnostic codes: K92.0 - Hematemesis D62 - Acute posthemorrhagic anemia I85.01 Esophageal varices with bleeding F10.21 - Alcohol dependence, in remission 1. Are all of the codes listed correct (yes or no)? [1] Question 1 will require you to step into the auditor position. Review the case and each code provided for accuracy and completeness. Do not evaluate for sequence errors at this time. Consider: Are there too many diagnoses? Are they coded accurately? Are all the codes applicable? Are signs and symptoms included in the codes? If any of the codes are inaccurately or inappropriately coded, such as codes that are an integral part of the confirmed condition, the answer should be no. 2. Are all of the diagnosis code(s) in the correct sequence (yes or no)? [2] Question 2 will require you to evaluate the sequence provided and audit the coders work to determine if the codes are reported in the correct order. Do not provide any correction at this time. If the appropriately coded diagnoses from Question 1 are out of sequence, answer “No.” Ignore any codes that are irrelevant to the case. 3. If the listed code(s) and or sequence of the code(s) is incorrect you must list the corrected code(s) sequence or state "no changes. [3] (Answer format: X11.11, Y11.11, Z11.11) In Question 3, If you found any inaccuracies that require changes, list the corrected code(s) and the proper sequence that accurately reflect the encounter as it has been documented. If you determined that the codes were all correct and the sequence is correct, the answer should be "no changes". If you determined that the codes were all correct and the sequence is correct, the answer should be "no changes".
