Answer:
The ICD-10-CM codes assigned by the medical coder are used to evaluate healthcare utilization, study healthcare costs, research the quality of patient care, and establish the appropriate reimbursement rate.
Explanation:
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10-Clinical Modification (CM) classifies and codes symptoms, diagnoses, and procedures performed in hospital care availed in the United States. The ICD-10-CM code provides healthcare information to the providers, policymakers and the payers which is used to determine the reimbursement amount, evaluate the quality of the healthcare provided and ways to improve, and improvise the healthcare delivery efficiency, monitor and regulate resources for proper utilization of service, and to reduce the overall healthcare costs.
Evaluate at least 200 spermatozoa, tally the numbers of live and dead spermatozoa using a laboratory counter, and calculate the percentage of live spermatozoa (see Note 10). The lower reference limit for vitality assessed by eosin–nigrosin stain (membrane-intact spermatozoa) is 58% (5th percentile, 95% CI 55–63) (1).
Answer:
The correct answer will be option- C.
Explanation:
Dehydration is the loss of water from the body in the response to which body undergoes physiological and metabolic changes as:
1. The hypothalamus produces Anti-diuretic hormone or ADH from the posterior of the pituitary gland which produces its effect on the kidney to reabsorb the water.
2. The body produces renin, angiotensin II and aldosterone which increases the permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting ducts.
3. The extracellular blood or the blood becomes more concentrated due to dehydration.
Thus, option- C which is that renal tubules decrease water reabsorption is the incorrect option as water absorption is increased in the kidney.
