| Patient has many things going on. First, he's had no difficulties following the feral cat bite, and the cat was normal on quarantine. He seemed to be recovering from the flu but is plagued with a very persisting cough and pain down the center of his chest without fever or grossly discolored phlegm. Physical exam shows expiratory rhonchi and gross exacerbation of his cough on forced expiration. Spirometry before and after bronchodilator was remarkably good; nonetheless, it is improved and he is symptomatically improved with a Proventil inhaler, which he is given a sample. I don't think other antibiotics would help. His reflux is under good control with proprietary antacids with a clear exam. He has several areas of seborrheic keratoses on his face and head that need attention. Finally, in follow-up of the above, he needs a complete physical exam. Which of the following is not required for correctly linked codes? A) the diagnosis and procedure codes present a logical clinical relationship B) the diagnosis and procedure codes are from the same data set C) the procedures are necessary and effective, and are not elective or experimental D) the treatment is provided at an appropriate level for the presenting problem | B |
| The subjective findings are: A) expiratory ronchi B) persistent cough C) persistent cough and pain down center of chest D) seborric keratosis on face and head that need attention | c |

| The patients diagnosis(es) to be coded are: A) cough, pain, keratosis, cat bite B) influenza, keratosis, cat bite C) influenza, acute bronchitis, seborrheic keratosis on face and head, cat bite D) seborrheic keratosis, influenza, bronchitis, cat bite | influenza, acute bronchitis, seborrheic keratosis on face and head, cat bite |
