Answer:

The options:

a.99202, R10.31, K37

b.99213, K37

c.99214, K37, R12

d.99203, R50.9, R12, R10.31, K374

The CORRECT ANSWER IS c.

c.99214, K37, R12

Explanation:

This is a confirmed patient E/M level of service which comes as a result of the signs and symptoms which made her check back to her provider for the appointment.

Code 99214 is suitable in cases where two out of three essential units are met for a confirmed patient.

Based on the ICD-10-CM guidelines I.B.4., an important diagnosis is stated and recorded after its confirmed.

On careful examination of the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Appendicitis which leads us to K37.

Guideline I.B.5 pinpoints to whatever Clinical manifestations seen to be a key part of the important diagnosis/disease activities.

Heartburn can not be regarded as a symptom often observed with appendicitis. Thus, we can record this using an extra code, references to guideline I.B.6.

From the guideline I.B.6 the Alphabetic Index for Heartburn would guide us straight to R12.

Part A: Research a Forest
Andrews [41]

Answer: I chose rainforest

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Mean temperatures in tropical rainforest regions are between 20 and 29 °C (68 and 84 °F), and in no month is the mean temperature below 18 °C (64 °F). The main animals are monkeys, Blue Morpho Butterfly, Okapi, Three-Toed Sloth, Jaguar, Capybara, Toucan, and Poison Dart Frog. The main plants are ferns, lichens, mosses, orchids, bromeliads, and of course many types of trees. including the rubber tree. Deforestation is a particular concern in tropical rain forests because these forests are home to much of the world's biodiversity. For example, in the Amazon around 17% of the forest has been lost in the last 50 years, mostly due to forest conversion for cattle ranching. The main cause of deforestation is agriculture (poorly planned infrastructure is emerging as a big threat too) and the main cause of forest degradation is illegal logging.
