There are choices for this question namely:
a. Codes that describe symptoms and signs
b. None because code assignment must wait until a diagnosis is confirmed
c. Office visit only
d. Qualified diagnosis, such as rule out, possible, or suspected
The correct answer is "codes that describe symptoms and signs". When a definitive diagnosis has not been established, coding for symptoms and signs is recommended. Rule out, possible, or suspected is not allowed as this can bring ambivalence towards the document. Code assignment, also, may not be delayed. In Chapter 18 of ICD-10 CM, with the title of "<span>Symptoms, Signs, and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings, Not Elsewhere Classified (codes R00.0–R99)" must contain most symptom codes.</span>

Answer:
B. False cause
Explanation:
False cause is a type of fallacy that tries to relate an event or occurrence to a causal factor which may not really exist. A false cause does not provide sufficient evidence that an event was actually a product of the supposed cause.
In the case of the couple in the example, they strongly believed that the Christian Science was the cause of their son's immediate recovery. The false cause usually starts with the succession of two conditions. In the example given, the first condition was the presence of an ailment, which is followed by a cure and complete recovery.
However, there is a lack of sufficient evidence that the Christian Science is actually effective. In fact, it may really be a confirmation bias of the parents preconceived beliefs.
