The correct answer is CPT code 66711.  

The CPT or Current Procedural Terminology code arrangement refers to a medical code set sustained by the AMA via the CPT editorial panel. Glaucoma refers to an array of disorders, which destruct the optic nerve of the eye and can lead to blindness and vision loss.  

Trabeculectomy refers to the surgery that comprises incision and repair of the iris and the ciliary body. The CPT code 66711 is reported, under destruction methods on the Iris, Ciliary body of the eye.

A 67-year-old client reports to her healthcare provider that she is having difficulty during intercourse, causing her pain and d
Yakvenalex [24]

The cause of the client’s pain must be because of atrophy of bulbouretheral glands. The bulbourethral glands are the one responsible for secreting a substance which we call alakaline, in order to be able to provide neutralization in the acidic environment in a person’s urethra. The bulbourethral glands are also responsible in having to provide lubrication to a person when having to do a sexual intercourse. If it gradually declines in its effectiveness, during sexual intercourse, it would likely cause the person to have pain and have difficulty in having to do an intimacy with the person’s partner as atrophy may be present in the person’s bulbourethral gland.

makvit [3.9K]
Typically, higher order streams contain MORE water than lower order streams.
Stream ordering is a mean of classifying natural channels in a water shed based on their sizes. The first order stream is the smallest stream and the second order stream is bigger than the first. Thus, the amount of water in the first order stream  will be less that that of second order.<span />
