TRUE
100
TRUE/FALSE: Code range for the digestive system is J00-J99
FALSE. Code range for Chapter 11: Diseases of the Digestive System range from K00-K95

What is another name for a BEDSORE
Pressure Ulcer
100
What is a pathological fracture?
A bone fracture caused by a disease that leads to weak bones that then break (i.e. osteoporosis)
100
TRUE/FALSE - there are pressure ulcers and non-pressure ulcers?
TRUE
200
Asthma is coded using what J code in ICD-10-CM?
J45
200
What are the 3 parts of the Small Intestine?
Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
200
Pressure Ulcers have stages. How many stages are there?
There are 4 stages. Stage 4 is the most severe
200
What does MALUNION mean when referring to a fracture?
Fracture healed, but did not heal well
200
This type of excludes note means "NOT CODED HERE"
Excludes1. This is a pure excludes. Two conditions cannot occur together
300
TRUE/FALSE: Acute respiratory failure is a condition where your lungs release too much oxygen into the blood.
FALSE. Acute respiratory failure is a condition that occurs when fluid builds up in the air sacs in the lungs. When that happens, the lungs CANNOT RELEASE OXYGEN into the blood (there is too little oxygen in the blood).
300
In the digestive process, once food leaves the small intestine, where does it travel to next?
To the cecum, and then continues through the large intestine
300
TRUE/FALSE: An unstageable pressure ulcer is another way of saying the pressure ulcer is unspecified.
FALSE. Unstageable and unspecified are NOT the same. Unstageable pressure ulcer is coded using L89.810; Unspecified pressure ulcer is coded using L89.819.
300
What does NONUNION mean when referring to a fracture?
Fracture failed to heal
300
This type of excludes note means "NOT INCLUDED HERE"
Excludes2
400
TRUE/FALSE: Acute and Chronic Respiratory Failure is coded J96.0, J96.1
FALSE. The correct code is J96.2 Acute and Chronic Respiratory Failure. When a combination code is available, you should code using the combination code and not the individual codes for each condition.
400
What is the correct order of the following: descending colon, ascending colon, sigmoid colon, transverse colon
(1) Ascending colon, (2) Transverse colon, (3) Descending colon, (4) Sigmoid colon
400
TRUE/FALSE: A pressure ulcer classified as "healing" should not be coded.
FALSE. A pressure ulcer that is healing should be assigned to the appropriate pressure ulcer stage code based on documentation. A pressure ulcer that is HEALED should not be coded.
400
What does 7th character "G" mean with regard to pathological fractures (Reference M80 as your example)
7th character "G" = Subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
400
When "AND" appears in the title, what does it mean?
The word "and" should be interpreted to mean "and" or "or" when it appears in a title in ICD-10-CM
500
TRUE/FALSE: Respiratory failure is always coded as the first listed diagnosis when another acute condition is present
FALSE. Sequencing depends on the circumstances surrounding the admission.
500
What is the code for Acute Gastric Ulcer with perforation? (Hint: Your first lookup has a "see" note which you will need to follow)
K25.1. Main term "Ulcer," subterm "gastric" tells you to "see Ulcer, stomach." Look up main term "Ulcer," subterm "stomach," second qualifier "acute," third qualifier "with perforation K25.1" Verify code in Tabular.
500
If the medical record documents pressure ulcers and body mass index, what is sequenced first and what is sequenced second?
Assign codes from category Z68- for BMI and sequence after the pressure ulcer and stage (Pressure ulcer first, BMI second)
500
What is the code for postmenopausal osteoporosis without current pathological fracture
M81.0

TRUE/FALSE: If the code is clearly listed in the Alphabetic Index, it is not necessary to verify that code in the Tabular
