To determine the correct answers to the questions, you will need to consult the ICD-10-CM codebook. Each question relates to a specific coding scenario, and the answer options correspond to different codes or code categories within the codebook. Here is a breakdown of how to approach each question:
1. To determine which code category should be chosen over codes from other chapters for the same condition, you should refer to the specific condition and compare the code options provided. Look up the condition in the ICD-10-CM codebook and identify the most appropriate code category based on the condition's description and code instructions.
2. To determine the correct code for coding pyuria or bacteria in the urine, refer to the ICD-10-CM codebook and search for the appropriate code for this condition. Review the code options provided and choose the one that best matches the description and guidelines in the codebook.
3. To identify the correct code for the patient returning to learn the results of an HIV test, consult the ICD-10-CM codebook and search for the appropriate code for this encounter. Consider the information provided and select the code that accurately reflects the reason for the encounter based on the code descriptions and guidelines.
4. To code the patient's condition of failing to produce insulin and requiring daily insulin shots, consult the ICD-10-CM codebook and search for the appropriate code for this condition. Evaluate the code options provided and choose the code that most accurately represents the patient's specific condition, considering the code descriptions and instructions.
5. To determine the number of codes required for the patient with diabetic nephropathy and renal failure, consult the ICD-10-CM codebook and review the guidelines for coding multiple conditions. Consider the combination of conditions described and choose the appropriate number of codes based on the guidelines provided.
6. To code hypopotassemia, refer to the ICD-10-CM codebook and search for the appropriate code for this condition. Evaluate the code options provided and select the one that accurately represents the condition based on the code descriptions and instructions.
7. To determine the chapter for coding conditions with a decrease in hemoglobin levels in the blood, refer to the ICD-10-CM codebook and review the chapters related to blood disorders or conditions affecting hemoglobin levels. Choose the chapter that best matches the description provided in the question.
8. To determine when to code acute blood loss anemia following surgery as a complication, consult the ICD-10-CM codebook and review the guidelines for coding complications. Consider the information provided and choose the option that aligns with the coding guidelines for identifying complications.
9. To determine when to code diabetes as uncontrolled versus controlled, refer to the ICD-10-CM codebook and review the guidelines for coding diabetes. Consider the criteria provided in the question and choose the option that aligns with the coding guidelines for distinguishing between controlled and uncontrolled diabetes.
10. To determine how to code infectious and parasitic diseases, consult the ICD-10-CM codebook and review the guidelines for coding these conditions. Consider the options provided in the question and choose the approach that aligns with the coding guidelines for capturing the causative organism information.
By following these guidelines and referencing the ICD-10-CM codebook, you can accurately determine the correct answers to the questions.
