질문 # 47
A patient is admitted with a stage 4 pressure ulcer of the right heel. The physician documents the pressure- ulcer diagnosis and location. The wound-care nurse documents stage 4. Which statement is MOST accurate?
정답：C
설명：
Pressure-ulcer staging is one of the recognized circumstances in which ICD-10-CM permits the relevant clinical detail to be obtained from documentation by an appropriate non-provider clinician, such as a qualified wound-care nurse.
The provider establishes the medical diagnosis, while the wound-care clinician's specialized assessment may support the stage assignment. This distinction allows coding to reflect the expertise of clinicians who directly assess the wound without requiring physicians to duplicate every technical staging statement.
Option C is too broad. The exception permitting stage documentation from another clinician does not grant non-provider documentation unrestricted authority to establish all reportable medical diagnoses.
Pressure-ulcer stage is highly relevant because ICD-10-CM pressure-ulcer codes incorporate both anatomical site and stage. It can also have substantial implications for severity reporting, POA assessment, CMS HAC policy, nursing care, quality review, and risk adjustment.
When different clinicians document conflicting stages, clarification should be pursued rather than selecting the most severe value.
CCDS candidates should understand the distinction between provider-established diagnoses and specific coding elements that ICD-10-CM permits to originate from other qualified professionals.
CCDS Reference Topics: Pressure ulcers; wound staging; non-provider documentation; coding exceptions.

질문 # 48
A 91-year-old has a past medical history of heart failure, COPD, and adenocarcinoma of the lung and brain.
The patient presents with shortness of breath, weakness, and pain. His vital signs are T 99°F, RR 18, BP 108
/74, and pulse 110. Pulse oximetry is 98% on 2 L nasal cannula. He is admitted with HCAP, COPD, and diastolic heart failure.
Initial laboratory values are:
Hgb: 9.0
Sodium: 134.0
WBC: 12.9
The physician orders antibiotics and 2 L nasal cannula. Based upon the information provided above, which of the following queries would be MOST appropriate?
정답：A
설명：
The most appropriate clarification concerns the underlying cause/type of pneumonia. The record documents
"HCAP," but that term does not identify a specific causative organism or pathophysiologic pneumonia type.
The patient is being actively treated with antibiotics, has leukocytosis, and was admitted with pneumonia- related documentation, creating a legitimate opportunity to clarify clinically supported specificity.
The other options are weaker. Hemoglobin of 9.0 supports anemia but does not establish acute blood loss anemia without evidence of active/recent blood loss or an acute decline. Sodium of 134 mEq/L is only mildly reduced and, without treatment or other clinical significance, does not by itself justify seeking a diagnosis solely from the laboratory value.
The record already specifies diastolic heart failure. Although acuity could sometimes warrant clarification, the presented findings do not strongly establish acute decompensated heart failure: oxygen requirement is modest, saturation is 98%, and no pulmonary edema, diuretic escalation, or other acute HF indicators are provided.
The query should remain neutral and allow the provider to identify the pneumonia type only if clinically determinable.
CCDS Reference Topics: Pneumonia specificity; clinical indicators; documentation clarification; query prioritization.

질문 # 49
A CDI program is developing a query escalation policy. A clinically significant query remains unanswered despite normal reminders. Which action is MOST appropriate?
정답：C
설명：
An unanswered clinically significant query should be managed through the organization's defined escalation process. The process may involve CDI leadership, coding leadership, a physician advisor, department leadership, or other designated personnel, depending on organizational policy.
Neither CDI nor coding may independently supply the missing diagnosis because diagnostic conclusions remain the provider's responsibility. Removing an unresolved query simply to accelerate billing can undermine documentation integrity and may create compliance problems.
Escalation policies should be standardized rather than applied only when a particular diagnosis affects reimbursement. Policies commonly address expected response time, reminder intervals, responsible escalation personnel, high-priority queries, retrospective queries, and final-bill procedures.
The 2026 ACDIS/AHIMA Guidelines for Achieving a Compliant Query Practice supersede prior versions and serve as the current foundational guidance for organizations establishing compliant query policies and procedures.
A mature escalation process balances timely claim completion with respect for provider workload and independent clinical judgment. Its purpose is obtaining complete and accurate documentation, not forcing agreement with a CDI-generated diagnosis.
CCDS Reference Topics: Query escalation; organizational policy; unanswered queries; compliance; provider responsibility.

질문 # 50
Which of the following is considered by CMS to be a HAC requiring MS-DRG adjustment if not POA?
정답：A
설명：
CMS specifically includes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism following certain orthopedic procedures, including total knee replacement and hip replacement, among Hospital-Acquired Conditions subject to the HAC/POA payment provisions. Therefore, option C is correct.
Under the IPPS HAC payment policy, qualifying conditions that were not present on admission may lose their normal CC/MCC effect for MS-DRG assignment when all applicable criteria are met. This makes accurate POA determination essential in CDI and coding.
Pressure ulcers are also part of the HAC framework, but the CMS category historically applies specifically to Stage III and Stage IV pressure ulcers. An unstageable pressure ulcer does not automatically satisfy the Stage III/IV HAC category merely because it is severe or clinically significant. CMS materials distinguish an unstageable ulcer from a documented Stage III or IV ulcer.
Postoperative pneumonia and septic shock are not, by themselves, the specified HAC category represented by the answer choices.
The CCDS blueprint specifically requires candidates to identify CMS-designated HACs and understand the effect of POA assignment on payment.
CCDS Reference Topics: IPPS; Hospital-Acquired Conditions; POA; MS-DRG adjustment.

질문 # 51
An 82-year-old patient with a urinary infection develops an acute fluctuating disturbance in attention, disorganized thinking, and altered level of consciousness. The family states the patient was cognitively normal three days earlier. Which condition is MOST consistent with this presentation?
정답：C
설명：
The presentation is most consistent with delirium, an acute and fluctuating disturbance in attention, awareness, and cognition that frequently develops in medically ill hospitalized patients.
The abrupt onset over several days and fluctuating cognitive state distinguish delirium from most forms of dementia, which generally develop progressively over months or years. Infection, medications, metabolic abnormalities, dehydration, hypoxia, and organ dysfunction are common precipitants.
A urinary infection may be a contributing clinical factor, but CDI should not automatically establish a cause- and-effect relationship between infection and delirium unless supported by provider documentation.
The CDI specialist should also recognize that terms such as "altered mental status" are symptoms rather than equivalent substitutes for a more specific diagnosis. When the clinical record contains sufficient indicators and the provider has documented only nonspecific mental-status terminology, a query may be warranted.
Intellectual disability represents a developmental condition rather than an acute change in cognition. A persistent vegetative state represents profound and persistent impairment of consciousness and is inconsistent with the described fluctuating presentation.
CCDS Reference Topics: Delirium; altered mental status; cognitive disorders; clinical indicators; documentation specificity.
