The patient was admitted from the emergency department because of chest pain. Following blood work, it was determined that the patient had elevated CPKs and MB enzymes. The EKG shows nonspecific ST changes.

What type of diagnosis might this indicate?
a. Unstable angina
b. Myocardial infarction
c. Congestive heart failure
d. Mitral valve stenosis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b
The CPK elevation with MB enzymes elevated and the EKG ST changes denote a possible Ml (Leon-Chisen 2013, 386-387).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A patient is admitted to the hospital complaining of abdominal pain. Following evaluation, it was determined that the patient had an intestinal obstruction of the left colon due to adhesions from a prior abdominal surgery. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy with lysis of adhesions.

What conditions should be coded?

a. Abdominal pain, abdominal adhesions, abdominal obstruction, laparotomy, lysis of adhesions

b. Abdominal adhesions, abdominal obstruction, postoperative complications of the digestive system, laparotomy, lysis of adhesions

c. Abdominal adhesions with obstruction, lysis of adhesions

d. Abdominal adhesions and abdominal obstruction, postoperative complications of the digestive system, lysis of adhesions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c

The patient has abdominal adhesions with obstruction, and lysis of adhesions was performed. The abdominal pain is not coded as it is a symptom (HHS 2014, Section I.B.4, 13; Leon-Chisen 2013,140)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A patient has a principal diagnosis of pneumonia (118.9) (MS-DRG 195).

Which of the following may legitimately change the coding of the pneumonia in accordance with the UHDDS and relevant clinical documentation?

a. Sputum culture reflects growth of normal flora.
b. Patient has a positive gram stain.
c. Patient is found to have dysphagia with aspiration.
d. Patient has nonproductive sputum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c

Patient is found to have dysphagia with aspiration is the correct answer because it changes the coding to aspiration pneumonia and would result in MS-DRG 179 RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS & INFLAMMATIONS W\/0 CC\/MCC, which has a weight of 0.9718 (Medicare Grouper Version Used: 31). This is in comparison to MS-DRG 0195, SIMPLE PNEUMONIA & PLEURISY W\/0 CC\/MCC MDC: 04 which has a DRG weight of 0.6978 (Medicare Grouper Version Used: 31).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A patient is diagnosed with infertility due to endometriosis and undergoes an outpatient laparoscopic laser destruction of pelvic endometriosis.

In order to code this encounter accurately, what steps must the coder take?

a. Review the operative report to determine what procedure codes to use and also to determine the site or sites of endometriosis so codes with the highest specificity may be assigned, and use infertility as a principal diagnosis.

b. Review the operative report to determine where the laser was used in the pelvis so the site or sites of endometriosis can be specified, and assign a principal diagnosis of infertility.

c. Review the operative report to determine where the laser was used in the pelvis so the site or sites of endometriosis can be specified as principal, and assign a secondary diagnosis of infertility.

d. Review the operative report to determine what procedure codes to use and also to determine the site or sites of endometriosis so codes with the highest specificity may be assigned, and use the diagnosis of infertility as a secondary condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

d


There may be endometrial implants throughout the pelvic cavity which may attach to various anatomic structures such as the fallopian tube, ovary, and omentum. These locations should be identified so that the appropriate diagnostic codes can be assigned and the appropriate procedure codes can be assigned based on the destruction of the endometrial implants. Therefore, the correct answer is to review the operative report to determine what procedure codes to use and determine the site or sites of endometriosis so that codes with the highest specificity may be assigned. Also, use the diagnosis of infertility as a secondary condition (Schraffenberger 2013, 296; Leon-Chisen 2013, 33, 271).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to establish the adequacy of documentation in the medical record the following must be reflected:

a. Decisions of patient’s caregivers

b. Quantitative analysis of the number of pages

d

The care rendered to the patient and the patient’s response must be documented in the medical record (LaTour and Eichenwald Maki 2013, 264; Sayles 2013, 70).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authentication of health record entries means to:

a. Create facsimiles of documents

b. Prove authorship of documents

c. Develop documents

d. Use a rubber stamp on random sets of documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

b

Authentication is the act of verifying a claim of identity (Sayles 2013, 381). In order to prove authorship of documents they are required to be authenticated by a signature (LaTour and Eichenwald Maki 2013, 264).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The requirements for documentation and record completion (documents such as history and physicals, discharge summaries, and consultations) as well as penalties for non-adherence must be specified in:

a. Hospital rules and regulations

b. Conditions of nonparticipation

c. Medical staff bylaws

d. Nursing staff policies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

c

The medical staff bylaws are required by accreditation and regulatory organizations to refer to the timeline required for completion (LaTour and Eichenwald Maki 2013, 240; Sayles 2014, 353).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
