Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct code for Fazio-Londe disease is G12.1. Both vitamin E and K deficiencies are included in the E56 category of codes, with E56.0 representing deficiency of vitamin K and E56.1 representing deficiency of vitamin E. Therefore, the codes for this patient would be G12.1 (Fazio-Londe disease), E56.0 (vitamin K deficiency), and E56.1 (vitamin E deficiency). Choice A is incorrect because it only includes one of the vitamin deficiencies. Choice C is incorrect because it includes the incorrect code for Fazio-Londe disease. Choice D is incorrect because it only includes one of the vitamin deficiencies.
