Question 7

A family tree analysis is called a(n):
A) amniocentesis.
B) karyotype.
C) chorionic villus sampling.
D) pedigree.

Accepted Answer

A pedigree is a diagrammatic representation of a family tree that provides important information about the inheritance pattern of genetic disorders. It helps to identify the affected individuals, carrier status, mode of inheritance, and the likelihood of recurrence in the offspring. Amniocentesis, karyotype, and chorionic villus sampling are methods of prenatal diagnosis that involve analyzing the fetal DNA to detect genetic abnormalities.

A) Respiratory distress syndrome
B) Bleeding in the brain
C) Patent ductus arteriosus

Which of the following is a blood test?
A) Amniocentesis
B) Karyotype
C) Chorionic villus sampling
D) Pedigree

Accepted Answer

Karyotype is a blood test that can be used to examine chromosomes in a sample of cells. This test can help identify genetic disorders.

Question 13

Jamison Jerm is a seven-day-old infant seen today for complex syndactyly of the right hand. What code is assigned?
A) Q70.00
B) Q70.01
C) Q70.02
D) Q70.03

Accepted Answer

Q70.01 is the correct code for complex syndactyly of the right hand. Syndactyly refers to the condition where two or more fingers are fused together, and "complex" indicates that the fusion involves more than just the skin, possibly including bones and nails. The code Q70.01 specifically denotes complex syndactyly of fingers without mention of the thumb, right hand.

Question 14

Chronic lung disease is also known as:
A) apnea.
B) bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
C) respiratory distress syndrome.
D) pulmonary ischemia.

Accepted Answer

Chronic lung disease is also known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which is a condition that affects premature infants who have received oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation. The other options (apnea, respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary ischemia) are different conditions that do not necessarily involve chronic lung disease.

Question 15

What is the correct code for X-linked ocular albinism?
A) E70.310
B) E70.311
C) E70.318
D) E70.319

Accepted Answer

X-linked ocular albinism is a rare genetic disorder that affects the eyes. It is caused by a mutation in the OA1 gene, which is located on the X chromosome. The OA1 gene codes for a protein that is involved in the production of melanin, which is the pigment that gives color to the eyes, skin, and hair. Mutations in the OA1 gene can lead to a reduction in melanin production, which can result in lighter-colored eyes, skin, and hair. X-linked ocular albinism is more common in males than in females, as males only have one X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so they are less likely to be affected by mutations in the OA1 gene.

Question 17

Brady Branson was delivered today via vaginal delivery at 40 weeks. Brady was a large baby at 4,700 grams, and forceps were used to extract him during the delivery. Brady suffered from scalp injury due to the forceps. What are the correct codes to assign?
A) Z38.00, P03.1, P08.0
B) Z38.00, P03.2, P08.0
C) Z38.01, P03.1, P08.0
D) Z38.01, P03.2, P08.0

Accepted Answer

- Z38.00 (Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginally)
- P03.2 (Newborn affected by other injury of scalp)
- P08.0 (Disorder related to long gestation and high birth weight, not elsewhere classified)

Code P03.2 specifies that the scalp injury was due to trauma at birth, and code P08.0 is appropriate for a large baby. The Z38 codes are used to indicate the outcome of delivery, and in this case, it was a single, live vaginal birth.

Question 18

B) Z38.00, Q54.1
C) Z38.01, Q54.0
D) Z38.01, Q54.1

Accepted Answer

The correct code for the live birth of Josh is Z38.00 (Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginally). 
The correct code for the penile hypospadias is Q54.1 (Hypospadias, penile).

Question 19

Sam Sampson was delivered via cesarean section today at the hospital at 11:50 a.m. Soon after his birth he become cyanotic and was taken to the NICU. In the NICU, the physicians determined Sam was suffering from wet lung syndrome. What are the correct codes to assign?
