The health specialist assigns and ICD-9 CM code E000.0 - E999.1 for classification of external causes of  injury and poisoning. Since the patient suffered a fractured tibia while on a ski trip, it doesn't mean that he was injured while skiing.  The health specialist will need to find the main cause of his fractured tibia, and in that, will be given ICD-9 code E000.0 - E999.1.

2. What makes psychoactive substance harmful to the body?​
quester [9]

Psychoactive drugs affect the body’s central nervous system. With the ability to change the brain’s functionality, they quickly alter mood, perception, and consciousness.

Moreover, many consider moderately drinking coffee or alcohol recreational use. While doing so, you’ll undergo mood changes. Typically, you feel better, more alert, or relaxed. Likewise, prescription pain medication can alter your perception of pain so you don’t feel discomfort.

Consequently, some of the drugs that fall under this category are habit-forming. Particularly, these include stimulants like cocaine and depressants like alcohol. Unfortunately, becoming chemically dependent on a substance could potentially lead to addiction.

Because some psychoactive substances occur naturally, such as mushrooms or marijuana, many people think they’re less harmful than manufactured drugs. However, marijuana addiction does occur, and using mushrooms causes negative side effects.

The common side effects of abusing these drugs include:

Agitation

Disorientation

Tremors

Dizziness

Motor impairment

Drowsiness

Paranoia/hallucinations
