Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct POA (Present on Admission) assignment for acute appendicitis is "Y" because it was the condition that led to the admission. The hemorrhage and hematoma that occurred after surgery are assigned a "N" for POA because they were not present at the time of admission but developed as a complication after the surgery.
