Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find out how many minutes are taken up with this activity, we need to calculate 20% of a 7-hour day (in minutes).

First, let's convert 7 hours to minutes:

7 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 420 minutes

Now, we can calculate 20% of 420:

0.2 × 420 = 84

Therefore, the coder's time devoted to pulling records for physicians with missing diagnoses takes up 84 minutes of a 7-hour day.

The correct choice is B.
