Blunt, Penetration, Burns & Selected other Trauma - Correct Answers ✅The AIS includes injuries from the what mechanisms? (T/F) The AIS sometime permits the coding of immediate sequelae, but withing strictly defined rules? - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) You can code suspected, possible or rule out diagnosis? - Correct Answers ✅F (T/F) Clinical diagnosis alone are not codable for certain injuries. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) In order to code clinical diagnosis, there must be back-up with a CT, MRI or autopsy documentation. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) Cranial Nerve Injuries or Basilar Skull Fractures are an exception to coding clinical diagnosis. - Correct Answers ✅T

solution

Basilar Skull Fracture - Correct Answers ✅Physical signs of raccoon eyes, Battle signs, CSF rhinorrhea, CSF otorrhea and Hemotympanum are indications of what? (T/F) AIS allows coding of cranial nerve "contusion" if there is documented cranial nerve weakness/paresis or subtotal loss of function? - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) AIS allows coding of cranial nerve "laceration" if there is documented cranial nerve paralysis, or total loss of function? - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) Coding a basilar skull fracture based on physical signs or manifestations is only permitted if there is evidence of traumatic head injury or the physical manifestations cannot be related to a peripheral or facial injury (e.g., facial fractures)? - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) Complications are coded as injuries? - Correct Answers ✅F (T/F) Do not assume that a specific injury has occurred simply because a particular outcome occurred. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) Death is an automatic AIS .6. - Correct Answers ✅F

solution

solution

(T/F) "Crush" should only be used when vascular, skeletal and soft tissue injury occur with an injury. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) If "crush" code is used, you should also code the injuries separately. - Correct Answers ✅F (T/F) Transection should be coded as a complete transection. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) An incomplete transection should be coded one AIS code less severe than a complete transection. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) If a vessel injury occurs in combination with an organ injury, the vessel injury is not coded separately if it is already included in the organ injury descriptor. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) Branches of vessels are not coded unless they are named vessels and/or are listed within a specific vessel descriptor. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) When more than one injury claims the qualifier "blood loss > 20%", the blood loss is assigned to the most severe associated injury. - Correct Answers ✅T

solution

(T/F) For AIS coding, penetrating injuries are defined as injuries resulting from gunshot or stab wounds, or from impalement or spearing-type trauma, with or without damage to underlying organs or structures. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) Penetrating injuries that do not involve underlying structures or internal organs are coded to the Whole Body region except injuries to the skull and face. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) You should code all internal injuries for a penetrating injury that involves internal organs and structures. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) If a penetrating injury in the brain crosses more than one region it should be coded to "penetrating major" under the Whole Area section rather than specific site of the brain. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) Penetrating injury to the brain stem is an AIS .6 injury and should be coded there even if two regions of the brain are involved. - Correct Answers ✅T (T/F) If a physician describes an injury as severe, you should automatically assign the injury AIS .4. - Correct Answers ✅F
