Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct code for excessive vomiting in pregnancy is O21.0 (Hyperemesis gravidarum with metabolic disturbance). Since the patient is in her 19th week of gestation, the additional code Z3A.19 (19 weeks gestation of pregnancy) is also appropriate to indicate the specific week of gestation.
