Answer:

b) blastic red blood cell (RBC).

Explanation:

In excess of 340 blood group antigens have now been described that vary between individuals. Thus, any unit of blood that is nonautologous represents a significant dose of alloantigen. Most blood group antigens are proteins, which differ by a single amino acid between donors and recipients. Approximately 1 out of every 70 individuals are transfused each year (in the United States alone), which leads to antibody responses to red blood cell <u>(RBC) alloantigens</u> in some transfusion recipients. When alloantibodies are formed, in many cases, RBCs expressing the antigen in question can no longer be safely transfused. However, despite chronic transfusion, only 3% to 10% of recipients (in general) mount an alloantibody response. In some disease states, rates of alloimmunization are much higher (eg, sickle cell disease). For patients who become alloimmunized to multiple antigens, ongoing transfusion therapy becomes increasingly difficult or, in some cases, impossible. While alloantibodies are the ultimate immune effector of humoral alloimmunization, the cellular underpinnings of the immune system that lead to ultimate alloantibody production are complex, including antigen consumption, antigen processing, antigen presentation, T-cell biology.

A 42 year-old with chronic right trochanteric bursitis is scheduled to receive an injection at the Pain Clinic. A 22-gauge spina
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The answer to the question would be: 20610-RT for the procedure of injection to the bursa, and J3301 x4 goes for the medication that was administered, Kenalog, and x4 because the total amount used was 40 mg, while the CPT code is good for 1 mg.

Explanation:

The CPT codes, better known as Current Procedural Terminology, is a list of numerical codes that allow doctors, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, to bill the insurance companies of patients, for the procedures and services rendered in order to treat, or cure, an illness. ICD-10 codes are also part of this billable codiing system as they provide numerical categories to the illnesses that a patient may have and for which the patient is receiving a specific treatment. In this case, the CPT codes given relate to: first, the specific place in the body where the patient was treated, and second, to select the materials, and especially the medication, that was used, and in what amount it was used, to treat the specific medical condition. This will be sent to the insurance company of the patient, for billing.

The length of the pharynx is about _________ cm. <br> a. 3.5 <br> b. 8.5 <br> c. 12.5 <br> d. 17.5
marta [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. 12.5

Explanation:

Human pharynx is about 12.5 cm long and is divided into three parts nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx. It starts from behind the nose joins to the food pipe(oesophagus). It provide passage for food and air.

Nasopharynx: It makes the upper part of pharynx which connects nose to mouth. Nasopharynx is separated from oropharynx by a soft palate present behind the nose. Nasopharynx helps in breathing.

Oropharynx: The middle part of pharynx is called oropharynx. Our oral cavity descends into it and tonsils are present either side of it. It helps in movement of food from mouth to oesophagus.

Laryngopharynx: It is the lower part of pharynx and opens into the food pipe and it also guide air into the larynx.
