A patient who has been severely burned will be undergoing a skin xenograft for temporary wound closure. The xenograft harvests the skin from where?
- A.
From the body of the patient.
- B.

The correct answer is from a donor that is non-human. In a skin xenograft procedure, the skin is harvested from a donor that is not of the same species as the patient. This is often done using pig skin, as it is similar in structure and function to human skin. The xenograft is used as a temporary wound closure until the patient's own skin can be regenerated or a more permanent graft can be performed.Rate this question:

- C.
Subtract the procedure with the lowest unit value from the procedure with the highest unit value.
- D.
Add the units of the two procedures together.
Correct Answer
A. Report only the units for the highest unit value procedure.Explanation
When calculating the unit value of services for two procedures performed on the same patient during the same operative session, it is recommended to report only the units for the highest unit value procedure. This means that the anesthesia services should be reported based on the procedure with the highest unit value, rather than combining or subtracting the units of the two procedures. By doing so, it ensures that the anesthesia services are accurately reported and billed based on the procedure that requires the most resources and time.Rate this question:

- B.
When the radiologist begins to administer drugs
- C.
When the radiologist prepares the patient for induction ---- preoperative
Correct Answer
C. When the radiologist prepares the patient for induction ---- preoperativeExplanation
The correct answer is when the radiologist prepares the patient for induction - preoperative. This is because anesthesia time typically starts when the patient is being prepared for the induction of anesthesia, which includes activities such as positioning the patient, applying monitoring devices, and administering preoperative medications. Meeting the family or administering drugs may be part of the anesthesia process, but they do not mark the start of anesthesia time.Rate this question:

The correct answer is 71020, 786.05. The reason for this is that the question states that a chest x-ray, both frontal and lateral, is ordered. The code 71020 represents a chest x-ray, and the modifier 26 is not mentioned in the question, which means that the professional component is not being billed separately. The diagnosis code 786.05 is for shortness of breath, which matches the patient's symptoms.Rate this question:
