Answer:

The answers are code 47563, 74300-26

Explanation:

Because the female patient  is having her gallbladder removed along with having a dye injection for an intraoperative  cholangiogram. The cholangiogram is performed to make sure there are no gallstones, tumors or structures causing partial or total obstruction of the flow of dye into the duodenum.

Code 47563 is designated for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cholangiography and code 74300 describes cholangiography/intraoperative. Since the procedure is performed in the Ambulatory Surgical Center indicating the radiological service will need modifier 26 for the professional service . The surgeon only performed the radiological supervision and interpretation, and did not own the equipment used to perform this service.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

19.3 mg are needed

Explanation:

You can go about solving this in two different ways the first way/ hardest way is to convert the aspirin dose from mg/kg body weight to mg/ lbs body weight and then multiply by the 8.5 lbs body weight. The second/ easier way to get the answer would be to convert the infants body weight from lbs to kg. Then, multiply that by the dose, which will give you 19.3 mg. The math for that is below. Remember always start with the information that you know, to find the information that you don't know.

\frac{8.5  \: lbs}{}  \times  \frac{1.0 \: kg}{2.205 \: lbs}  \times  \frac{5.0 \: mg}{kg}  \\  = 19.27mg
