The correct answer is 97761 * 2, L6050, Z44.8, Z89.11.  

In the CPT index when one looks for Prosthetics/Training, then one is directed towards 97761. The code is repeated for every 15 minutes. As 30 minutes are spent in training, so 2 units are reported. In the HCPCS level II codebook when one looks for Disarticulation/Wrist prosthesis, one is directed towards codes L6050, L6055. On the basis of description, the prosthesis is reported with code L6050.  

In the alphabetic index of ICD-10-CM, when one looks for fitting/device NOS/prosthetic (external), then one is directed towards the code Z44.8. In the index when one looks for the absence of organ or part (complete or partial)/wrist and hand (acquired) then one is referred towards the code Z89.11.

Which of these actions has contributed to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. This is converted into carbon and stored in the plant's branches, leaves, trunks, roots and in the soil. Cutting down of trees without allowing them to regrow, the carbon stored is released to the atmosphere in form of carbon dioxide which contributes to as much as 30 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions.

Does magma consist only of rock forming materials ? explain
belka [17]
Magma is melted earth that heats up from the pressure of other rock building up underneath it. As it builds up more and more the magma gets hotter and hotter. When the volcano erupts the magma is introduced to the different air temperatures and force between in the earth and out of it. When it flows down the volcano it cools down and turns back to its original form of rock.

What might happen to the Earth if human increase the amount of greenhouse gasses?
KATRIN_1 [288]

<u>Answer:</u>

Greenhouse gas refers to any gaseous compound in the atmosphere that can absorb infrared radiation, thereby trapping heat and keeping it in the atmosphere. By increasing the heat in the atmosphere, greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which ultimately leads to global warming.

<u>Examples why greenhouse gases in the atmosphere:</u>

  • farming cattle releases methane
  • farming rice in paddy fields releases methane
  • burning fossil fuels in vehicles and power stations releases carbon dioxide
  • deforestation releases carbon dioxide and reduces the absorption of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis
