Answer:
Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:
- Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
- pH: acidosis
- PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
- HCO₃⁻: normal
whose interpretation is: <u>respiratory acidosis</u>.
Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.
Explanation:
Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces <u>hypoventilation</u>, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.
- <u><em>Acidosis</em></u><em> is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in </em><em>pH</em><em> below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.</em>
- <u><em>Hypoxemia</em></u><em> is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.</em>
- <u><em>Hypercapnia</em></u><em> is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.</em>
- <em>Normal </em><em>bicarbonate</em><em> </em><em>(HCO₃⁻) </em><em>values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.</em>
<u>Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system</u>, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.
Answer:
Affected infants uniformly have significant hypotonia, feeding difficulties, and failure to thrive (FTT), followed in later infancy or early childhood by excessive appetite with gradual development of obesity, short stature and/or decreased growth velocity, intellectual disabilities (average IQ of 65), and behavioral problems (e.g., temper tantrums, outburst, and skin picking

The question is incomplete however the correct question is as follows:
What is the correct CPT code modifier to use?
Answer:
The correct answer would be - 51 and 59.
Explanation:
Modifier 51 and modifier 59 are two common code modifier for arthroscopy. the code 51 tells that the same physician is performing multiple arthroscopy or other procedure for different clients at the same session except E/M services.
On other hand modifier 59 that indicates that the procedure normally not reported together but in specific conditions that meet with the criteria of code for reporting separately. It may also suggest that same provider should not perform the procedure same day.
Arthroscopy, knee, diagnostic, with or without synovial biopsy -29870 is a separate procedure.
Answer: Carbon-14
Explanation:
Carbon dating the procedure which is used for the substances which is used to date the substances less than 40,000.
This method is based on an unstable isotope of carbon that living animals and plants incorporate inside it.
When the organisms are alive the ratio of stable isotope inside the organism is same to the ratio that is found in the atmosphere.
As the organism dies the carbon 14 gets converted into nitrogen 14. By measuring both the ratios, the relative age can be determined.
