3.
Protein in the urine: ____________________uria
Explanation
Protein in the urine is referred to as albuminuria. Albumin is a type of protein that is normally present in the blood, but when it appears in the urine, it indicates a potential problem with kidney function. The presence of albumin in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage or disease, as the kidneys should normally filter out and retain proteins in the blood. Therefore, albuminuria is a term used to describe the condition of having albumin in the urine.

Visual examination of the urinary bladder: _________________scopy
Explanation
The term "cysto" is derived from the word "cystoscopy," which refers to the visual examination of the urinary bladder. This procedure involves using a cystoscope, a thin tube with a light and a camera, to view the inside of the bladder. By inserting the cystoscope through the urethra, healthcare professionals can diagnose and treat various bladder conditions, such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or bladder cancer. Therefore, "cysto" is the correct answer as it accurately represents the procedure of visual examination of the urinary bladder.
5.

Explanation
The term "glycosuria" is used to describe the presence of sugar in the urine.

There are various possible causes of male or female infertility, including the presence of an STD
Explanation
Infertility can be caused by various factors, and one of them is the presence of a sexually transmitted disease (STD). STDs such as chlamydia or gonorrhea can lead to infertility if left untreated. These infections can cause damage to the reproductive organs, including the fallopian tubes in females and the epididymis or testicles in males. This can result in difficulties in conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term. Therefore, the statement that STDs can be a possible cause of male or female infertility is true.

Biopsy of the vaginal mucosa code is
Explanation
The correct answer is 57100. This code is used for the biopsy of the vaginal mucosa. A biopsy is a procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken for examination and diagnosis. In this case, the biopsy is specifically done on the vaginal mucosa, which is the lining of the vagina. The code 57100 accurately represents this procedure.

Aftificial insemination performed via intrauterine is reported using
Explanation
The correct answer, 58322, refers to the code for reporting artificial insemination performed via intrauterine. This code specifically applies to the procedure of introducing sperm into the uterus using artificial means. The other codes listed, 58321, 58323, and 58350, do not pertain to the specific method of artificial insemination via intrauterine.
41.
Childhood renal carcinoma:
Correct Answer
A. Wilms tumor
Explanation
Wilms tumor is the correct answer because it is a type of childhood renal carcinoma. It is a malignant tumor that develops in the kidneys, specifically in the cells that give rise to the kidneys during fetal development. Wilms tumor is most commonly found in children aged 3 to 4 years and is rare in older children or adults. It typically presents as a painless abdominal mass and may be associated with other symptoms such as fever, hypertension, and hematuria. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy.
42.
Test that measures the amount of urea in the blood:
Explanation
BUN stands for Blood Urea Nitrogen, which is a test that measures the amount of urea in the blood. Urea is a waste product produced by the liver when it breaks down proteins. The BUN test is commonly used to evaluate kidney function and to diagnose or monitor conditions such as kidney disease or dehydration. A high BUN level may indicate kidney dysfunction, while a low BUN level may suggest liver disease or malnutrition. Therefore, the BUN test is an important tool in assessing overall kidney and liver health.
43.
Failure to seek treatment for a gonorrhea infection can result in complications including
Correct Answer
A. All of the above
Explanation
Failure to seek treatment for a gonorrhea infection can lead to various complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), septicemia, and septic arthritis. PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs that can cause long-term damage and infertility if left untreated. Septicemia refers to a severe bloodstream infection that can spread throughout the body and lead to organ failure. Septic arthritis is a joint infection that can cause pain, swelling, and mobility issues. Therefore, all of the above complications can occur if treatment for a gonorrhea infection is not sought.
44.
Reporting code 59300 is acceptable when reporting 59400
Explanation
The statement is false. Reporting code 59300 is not acceptable when reporting 59400. These two codes represent different procedures in medical coding. Code 59300 is used for the dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure, while code 59400 is used for the routine obstetric care including antepartum care, vaginal delivery, and postpartum care. Therefore, these codes cannot be used interchangeably.
45.
Surgical laparoscopy always includes:
Correct Answer
A. Diagnostic laparoscopy
Explanation
The correct answer is "all of the above." Surgical laparoscopy always includes a paracervical block, which is a local anesthesia given to numb the cervix. It also includes a diagnostic laparoscopy, which is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the organs inside the abdomen and pelvis. Additionally, surgical laparoscopy may involve a biopsy, which is the removal of a small tissue sample for further examination. Therefore, all three options are included in surgical laparoscopy.
46.
When coding a total abdominal hysterectomy with an anterior/posterior colphorrhaphy the correct modifier to add to the second procedure would be
Explanation
The correct modifier to add to the second procedure, which is the anterior/posterior colphorrhaphy, would be -51. Modifier -51 is used to indicate multiple procedures performed during the same operative session. In this case, the total abdominal hysterectomy and the anterior/posterior colphorrhaphy are two separate procedures being performed together. Adding the -51 modifier ensures appropriate reimbursement for both procedures.
47.
Hysterectomy codes are first divided in the cpt manual based on the _______ and then on any secondary procedure(s) that were done
Correct Answer
A. Approach
Explanation
Hysterectomy codes are first divided in the CPT manual based on the approach used to perform the procedure. This means that the codes are organized according to whether the surgery was done abdominally, vaginally, laparoscopically, or robotically. After categorizing the codes based on the approach, any secondary procedure(s) that were performed during the hysterectomy are then taken into consideration.
48.
What surgery subheading has only two codes
Correct Answer
A. Intersex sugery
Explanation
The correct answer is intersex surgery because it is the only subheading mentioned that has only two codes. The other options, urinary system, laparoscopy, and delivery, are not specified to have only two codes, so they are not the correct answer.
49.
Oliguria:
Correct Answer
A. Scanty urination
Explanation
Oliguria refers to a condition characterized by reduced urine output. The term "scanty urination" accurately describes this condition, as it indicates a decrease in the volume of urine produced. The other options, such as "pus in the urine," "nocturia," "bacteriuria," and "polyuria," do not accurately represent oliguria and are therefore incorrect.
