Question 1

In Table 5A2, the duration is always single.

Accepted Answer

In Table 5A2, the duration is always single because it represents the duration of the event in seconds.

Question 2

Multiple instances of ultraviolet light therapy of the skin would be reported with code ____________________.

Accepted Answer

6A801ZZ

Question 3

Extracorporeal separation of plasma, multiple, would be reported with code ____________________.

Accepted Answer

6A551Z3

Question 4

In Table 6A5, extracorporeal separation of platelets is reported with a seventh digit of 2.

Accepted Answer

The seventh digit of 2 in Table 6A5 refers to the method of separation of platelets, which is extracorporeal.

Question 5

In Table 6A1, the only body system represented is _____.

Accepted Answer

The table is labeled "Vital Signs and Measurements of Circulatory Function." Therefore, the only body system represented is the circulatory system.

Question 6

The first-character value for extracorporeal assistance and performance is 6.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The first-character value for extracorporeal assistance and...

Question 7

Hyperthermia means raising of the pulse.

Accepted Answer

Hyperthermia actually refers to an elevation in body temperature, not pulse.

Question 8

Code ____________________ would report a single phototherapy treatment of the skin.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Code ____________________ would report a single phototherapy...

Question 9

In the Table 5A1, the fourth character of C represents the biliary body part.

Accepted Answer

According to the provided information, the fourth character of C in Table 5A1 represents the biliary body part.

Question 10

Extracorporeal elimination of undissolved gas from body fluids defines ______.

Accepted Answer

Decompression is the process of reducing pressure and thereby facilitating the elimination of undissolved gases from body fluids, commonly used in diving medicine to prevent decompression sickness.

Question 11

In Table 5A1, a duration of 28 hours would be reported with a value of _____.

Accepted Answer

According to Table 5A1, durations between 24 and 47 hours are reported with a value of 4. Therefore, a duration of 28 hours would be reported with a value of 4.

Question 12

The duration of extracorporeal assistance and performance is denoted with the _____ character of the code.

Accepted Answer

The fifth character of the code is used to denote the duration of extracorporeal assistance and performance in coding systems such as ICD-10-PCS (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System). This character provides specific details about the duration and nature of the assistance or performance.

Question 13

Code 5A02116 reports continuous cardiac output pump assistance.

Accepted Answer

Code 5A02116 refers to the insertion of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), which is a type of mechanical circulatory support device, not continuous cardiac output pump assistance.

Question 14

Multiple shockwave therapy of the musculoskeletal system is reported with code 6A930ZZ.

Accepted Answer

The code 6A930ZZ does not represent multiple shockwave therapy of the musculoskeletal system; it is not a valid code in the context of ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Coding System) for documenting medical procedures. Shockwave therapy is typically coded with specific codes related to the type of procedure and the area treated, and the provided code does not match the standard format or content for such procedures.

Question 15

The sixth character of extracorporeal assistance and performance codes denotes the _____.

Accepted Answer

The sixth character of extracorporeal assistance and performance codes denotes the physiological function assisted or performed. This includes functions such as oxygenation, circulation, or filtration.

Question 16

Pheresis is the lowering of body temperature.

Accepted Answer

Pheresis is not the lowering of body temperature. It is a medical procedure in which blood is filtered outside the body to remove certain components, such as antibodies, platelets, or white blood cells.

Question 17

A is the only value for the second character in both the Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance and Performance section and the Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies section.

Accepted Answer

In both the Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance and Performance section and the Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies section, the second character is "A".

Question 18

Decompression, in the Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies section, is defined as taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means.

Accepted Answer

Decompression, in the context of medical treatments, typically refers to procedures aimed at relieving pressure, rather than taking over a physiological function by extracorporeal means. Extracorporeal or systemic therapies involving taking over a physiological function usually refer to treatments like dialysis or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which are designed to temporarily replace the function of organs such as the kidneys or lungs, respectively.

Question 19

Using light rays during extracorporeal therapy is known as _____.

Accepted Answer

Phototherapy is the use of light rays to treat conditions outside of the body. It is commonly used in the treatment of conditions such as jaundice and skin disorders.

Question 20

Completely taking over a physiological function by extracorporeal means is known as _____.

Accepted Answer

Performance refers to completely taking over a physiological function by extracorporeal means, such as with a mechanical ventilator or dialysis machine. Assistance involves providing partial support, restoration involves returning a function to its normal state, and pheresis involves removing a specific component from the blood, such as plasma or white blood cells.
