Question

Patient presents with extensive skin care of forehead. The site was prepared for skin graft repair with sharp debridement of eschar as well as remodeling of some of the granulation growth site. The STSG was harvested from the right thigh and carefully laid over the defect and trimmed to fit the defect properly. How should this be coded? a.) 15120, 15004 b.) 15120, 15002 c.) 15120 d.) 15100 2. A patient diagnosed with GERD presents to the same day surgery department for an upper GI endoscopy. The procedure is done in order to treat the GERD by delivering thermal energy to the muscle of the gastric cardia and lower esophageal sphincter. Anesthesia was administered and as the physician begins the procedure, the patient's blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level. The physician decides not to finish the procedure due to the risk it may cause to the patient. a.) 43257-53 b.) 43257-73 c.) 43499 d.) 43257-52 3. At the patient's bedside in the hospital, a PICC line is inserted. Using xylocaine local anesthesia, aseptic technique, a 21-gauge needle was used to access the right cephalic vein of a 72-year-old patient. When blood was obtained, a 0.018-inch platinum tip guide wire was advanced to the central venous circulation. A 6 French dual lumen PICC was introduced through a 6 French peel away sheath to a SVA RA junction, and after removal of the sheath, the catheter was attached to the skin with a STATLOCK device and flushed with 500 units of heparin in each lumen. a.) 36569 b.) 36565 c.) 36556 d.) 36561
