The CPT code is 32484.
You should first go to the section removal and then look for lung. After that, you should check the code for "single segment" as only one lung segment was resected. The CPT codes are yearly reviewed, so there is a chance that this code might not correspond to the latest version, although it is not likely. These codes are always five digits long and the system was developed by the American Medical Association.<span>

</span>The ICD-10-CM code is C34.10.
Firstly select the Neoplasms (section C00-D49) because it is lung cancer, then look for "Malignant neoplasms of respiratory and intrathoracic organs" as we are talking about the lung (section C30-C39). After this go to "Malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung" (C34) which is the specification. Now you should select the type it is referring to, and we are looking for cancer in the lungs on the apical area from where the biopsy was done, with no specification of which lung - so, the right option should be "<span>Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, unspecified bronchus or lung" (C34.10).</span>

Answer:

32484 (CTP) and C34.10. (ICD-10-CM)

Explanation:

Both CTP and ICD-10-CM are sets of codes used by healthcare professionals in the hospital setting. These codes are very useful for doctors, nurses and any other medical professional, because they reference all diseases, surgeries, procedures, applications and any other photor performed in the medical environment. These codes allow communication between professionals to be done faster and more universally, so professionals in any region of the world can understand what is happening to a patient.

In the case shown in the question above, the codes used would be 32484 in CTP and C34.10 in ICD-10-CM.

Your study group is in the midst of a discussion on fungi. One of your classmates emphatically states that animals and fungi do
mina [271]

Answer:

The argument can be contradicted by assuming that both animals and fungi exhibit heterotrophy and have intracellular spindles.

Explanation:

If an argument is required to demonstrate that fungi have common characteristics, it can be taken into account that:

  1. <em>They are</em><em> heterotrophic organisms</em><em>, since they are not able to synthesize their own nutrients, such as plants. </em>
  2. <em>Both </em><em>have intracellular spindles</em><em> in their structure, useful when performing the corresponding cell division. </em>
  3. <em>Additionally, both animals and fungi can </em><em>store glycogen</em><em> as a reserve of energetic substrate.</em>

It is currently thought that fungi and animals have a convergent or parallel evolution.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

can be mutualistic or antagonistic.

Explanation:

According to the given information, the bacterial species <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>present in some nasal passages and on the skin do not harm the person. The ecological interaction wherein both organisms are benefited and none is harmed is known as mutualism. Here, <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> does not cause any disease in human when present on the skin and in the nasal passage, that is both are in mutualism.

However, when present in the bloodstream, the same bacterial species can cause infections such as sepsis and represents antagonist effects on the host.  

Hence, the <em>staphylococcus aureus </em>species may be mutualistic or antagonistic to human.
