Answer:

The answer to the question: What is the ICD-10-CM code for Diverticulitis of sigmoid colon, as of 2018, would be: K57.32

Explanation:

The ICD-10-CM classification, is a system that is used to unify and codify diagnosis, procedures and signs and symptoms, so that healthcare professionals can identify them easily, and also so that the healthcare system, including healthcare insurance companies, and other agencies, may have a common language when it comes to talking about diseases, procedures and signs and symptoms. This code was preceded by the ICD-9-CM and both were born from the Classification of Diseases created by the WHO (World Health Organization). Today, the ICD-10-CM coding system is the one used in the United States, and the code given to Diverticulitis of the large intestine without perforation or abscess without bleeding, including Diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon is, as of 2018 and still accepted in 2019, K57.32.

Explain the role of the outer electron shell to ionic and covalent bonding. Please be detailed and provide and example.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

For example, an atom with 6 of 8 electrons in its outer shell will try to gain 2 electrons so its outer shell is full. Ionic bonding occurs when one element donates an electron (or electrons) to another so that both elements will have a full outer shell. As the attractions bring the atoms together, electrons from each atom are attracted to the nucleus of both atoms, which “share” the electrons. The sharing of electrons between atoms is called a covalent bond, which holds the atoms together as a molecule.

PAD is physical aid in dying. It is also known as assisted /uicide.

Oncology is the study of cancer. And a cancer specialist is referred to as an oncologist. Many times patients with severe medical conditions want to end their life. This is done with help of a physician. This is referred to as physician aid in /ying (PAD). Cancer has gained a lot of attention from PAD. The oncologist should before taking any step should consider that the patient has access to palliative options and it should be maintained that they have adequate counseling.
