    The small intestine is divided into what parts :

    • Esophagus, Stomach, Duodenum

    • Pylorus, Jejunum, Cecum

    • Stomach, Descending Colon, Rectum

    • Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum

    Correct Answer
    A. Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
    Explanation
    The small intestine is divided into three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine, where the majority of digestion occurs. The jejunum is the middle part of the small intestine, responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food. The ileum is the final part of the small intestine, where further absorption of nutrients takes place before they are transported to the large intestine.

    A Cochlear implant is placed in the  :

    • Cornea

    • Inner Ear

    • Heart

    • Spine

    Correct Answer
    A. Inner Ear
    Explanation
    A cochlear implant is a medical device that is surgically placed in the inner ear. It is specifically designed to provide sound perception and improve hearing for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. The implant bypasses the damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulates the auditory nerve, allowing the person to perceive sound signals. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye, the heart is a vital organ responsible for pumping blood, and the spine is the backbone. None of these locations are related to the placement of a cochlear implant.

    Patient is admitted with alcohol cirrhosis and has a TIPS procedure performed.

    • 35476; 36011; 36481

    • 37183

    • 37182

    • 37140

    Correct Answer
    A. 37182
    Explanation
    The TIPS procedure (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat complications of liver cirrhosis, such as portal hypertension. During the procedure, a shunt is created between the portal vein and the hepatic vein, which helps to divert blood flow and reduce pressure in the portal vein. Therefore, the correct answer, 37182, is most likely the code for the TIPS procedure performed on the patient with alcohol cirrhosis.

    Correct Answer
    A. 27532-LT
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 27532-LT. This code represents a closed manipulation of a fracture with skeletal traction. In this scenario, the patient presented to the emergency room with a fracture of the proximal left tibia after a fall. The physician performed a closed manipulation, which means they manipulated the fracture without making an incision. Additionally, skeletal traction was used to stabilize the fracture. Therefore, the correct code for this procedure is 27532-LT.

    • 58563

    • 58558

    • 58120; 58100; 58555

    • 58558; 58120

    Correct Answer
    A. 58558
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 58558 because it is the only code that includes both hysteroscopy and D&C (dilation and curettage) procedures. The other codes listed either do not include both procedures or do not specifically mention hysteroscopy. Therefore, 58558 is the most appropriate code for hysteroscopy with D&C and polypectomy.

    Correct Answer
    A. 12034; 12002-59
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 12034; 12002-59. The CPT code 12034 is used for the repair of a wound that involves the subcutaneous tissue and deeper structures such as fascia or muscle, which matches the description of the lacerations in the question. The CPT code 12002-59 is used for the repair of a superficial wound, which matches the description of the laceration on the left foot. The modifier -59 is used to indicate that these procedures are distinct and separate from each other.

    • 15839

    Correct Answer
    A. 15877; 15879-50
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 15877; 15879-50. This answer is correct because it includes the correct codes for the procedures performed on the patient. Liposuction of the abdomen and bilateral thighs was performed, which would be coded as 15877. Additionally, the use of modifier -50 indicates that the procedure was performed bilaterally. Modifier -50 is used to indicate a bilateral procedure, so it is appropriate in this case. Modifier -50 should be appended to the primary procedure code, which in this case is 15877. The code 15879 is not applicable in this scenario and should not be included.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is 31254; 31256-51. This answer is correct because it includes the codes for the procedures performed during the nasal endoscopy, partial ethmoidectomy, and maxillary antrostomy. Code 31254 represents the nasal endoscopy procedure, and code 31256 represents the partial ethmoidectomy and maxillary antrostomy.

    • 32601

    • 32960

    Correct Answer
    A. 32650
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 32650. This is the correct code for chemical pleurodesis by thoracoscopy. Pleurodesis is a procedure used to treat recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax, which is the condition described in the question. The code 32310 is for thoracentesis, not thoracoscopy. The code 32601 is for thoracoscopy with biopsy, not pleurodesis. The code 32960 is for thoracoscopy with drainage of pleural effusion, which is not the procedure performed in this case.
