The question specifically asks for the correct code for the wick insertion, which is a procedure. Therefore, the appropriate code to report would be a CPT code for the wick insertion. The CMS code and ICD code relate to diagnosis and are not relevant to the procedure of insertion.

Question 3

When opening a new practice, two primary care pediatric nurse practitioners
obtain national practice identification numbers, federal tax employer identification numbers, and business licenses to satisfy which part of the operations plan?
A. Financial policies
B. Financial reporting
C. Legal and governance operations
D. Retention of records

Legal and governance operations

Accepted Answer

Obtaining national practice identification numbers, federal tax employer identification numbers, and business licenses are all legal and governance operations necessary for starting a new practice. It ensures that the practice is properly registered and authorized to operate in its location. These actions may also impact financial policies and reporting, as failure to obtain necessary licenses or tax identification numbers can result in penalties and legal issues. Retention of records is a separate aspect of the operations plan related to record-keeping and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Question 4

A pediatric practice uses the patient&#173;centered medical home (PCMH) model when providers&#10;A. act as gatekeepers to decide when and where other services are provided.&#10;B. assists adolescent children with special needs to find adult care providers.&#10;C. encourages families to seek specialty services when possible to improve care.&#10;D. establishes satellite clinics in local neighborhoods to increase practice revenue.

Accepted Answer

The PCMH model emphasizes the coordination and continuity of care for pediatric patients, including a transition plan for adolescent patients with special health care needs to adult care providers. A) is incorrect because PCMH does not act as gatekeepers to other services, but rather coordinates and collaborates with other healthcare providers. C) is incorrect because PCMH encourages the primary care provider to manage as much of the patient's care as possible, including specialty services when necessary. D) is incorrect because establishing satellite clinics may increase access to care, but is not the primary goal of the PCMH model.

Question 5

Why is it necessary to establish a &#34;work week&#34; for a practice?&#10;A. To calculate benefits&#10;B. To determine salaries and wages&#10;C. To develop patient scheduling software&#10;D. To help calculate overtime

Accepted Answer

Establishing a "work week" is necessary to help calculate overtime, as it defines the standard number of hours employees are expected to work before overtime pay is required.

The first step in developing a school-based health-promotion program is to perform a market analysis, which includes researching the school demographics, understanding the health needs of the students, and identifying potential partners and resources in the community. This information will guide the development of the program's strategic plan, vision statement, and organizational chart.

Question 7

A private pediatric practice participates in the "meaningful use" program
managed by the state Medicaid program. Which is an example of a clinical quality measure associated with Stage 3 of meaningful use?
A. Development of an electronic prescribing system
B. Evaluating emergency department use in patients who have asthma action plans
C. Providing a patient portal to give access to medical information
D. Using electronic algorithms to enhance evidencebased decisionmaking

Accepted Answer

Evaluating emergency department use in patients who have asthma action plans is an example of a clinical quality measure associated with Stage 3 of meaningful use. Stage 3 focuses on improving health outcomes through implementation of advanced clinical processes, decision support, and patient engagement. This measure aligns with the goal of reducing emergency department visits and hospitalizations for patients with asthma. The other options listed are examples of meaningful use objectives in different stages but do not align with Stage 3 clinical quality measures.
