Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The seventh character for subsequent treatment of an injury is "D". This is because "D" indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for a condition that was previously treated and is now in the healing or recovery phase. The other options ("A", "S", and "X") are not correct codes for subsequent treatment of an injury.
