Answer:

Stage IV - There is a primary tumor, lymph node involvement and metastases.

Explanation:

Staging is the extent of spread of tumor within the patient.

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) divides all cancers into Stages 0 - IV, incorporating into each stage several TNM (tumor/node/metastasis) stages usually with the same prognosis.  

Staging is essential in determining the patient prognosis.

The approximate 5-year survival rate for colorectal cancer patients of all stages is 64.4% (In the United States) and survival is inversely related to stage.

Surgery usually provides the only curative option for patients diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer.

Mitosis & Meiosis: Thinking Scientifically
REY [17]

Answer:

65536 cells

Explanation:

starting from 1 cell at zero minutes  there will be 1 (2^0) cell; 2^0 = 1

after 15 minutes                    there will be 2 (2^1) cells

after another 15 minutes ( 30 min)        there will be 4 ( 2²) cells

after another 15 minutes ( 45 min)         there will be 8 (2³) cells

after n number of 15 minutes                  there will be (2^n) cells

calculate number of 15 minutes in 4 hours

4 hours = 4 × 60 minutes

number ( n) of 15 minutes in 4 hours = (4 × 60 minutes) / 15 minute = 16

using the formula above and substitute 16 for n in the formula

Number of cells = 2 ^n = 2^16 = 65536 cells

A 43-year-old female presents to the physician for an ulcer of the right ankle. patient also has diabetes mellitus. what icd-10-
Ostrovityanka [42]

The icd-10-cm codes that should be reported are 707.13 and 250.00.

 

To add, in the ICD-9-CM Index to Diseases, look for Ulcer/lower extremity/ankle which refers you to code 707.13. Under subcategory code 707.1, there is a note: Code, if applicable, any casual condition first. The scenario does not have a causal relationship between the ulcer and diabetes (example, ulcer due to the diabetes). The two codes will be coded separately. The code for a diabetic manifestation is not reported because there is no causal relationship. Look in the Index to Diseases for Diabetes, diabetic 250.0x. In the Tabular List, a fifth digit of 0 is selected for diabetes with no mention of complication.
