Which of the following can be evidence of physician-hospital alignment?
- A. A high physician agreement rate
- B. A high clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) query rate
- C. A high physician response rate
- D. A low physician agreement rate
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
A high physician agreement rate can be evidence of physician-hospital alignment because it indicates that the physicians are supportive of the clinical documentation integrity (CDI) program and its goals, and that they are willing to provide accurate and complete documentation in response to CDI queries. A high physician agreement rate also reflects a positive relationship and communication between the CDI team and the physicians, as well as a mutual understanding of the benefits of CDI for patient care, quality reporting, and reimbursement.

質問 # 30
A resident returns to the long-term care facility following hospital care for pneumonia. The physician's orders and progress note state "Continue IV antibiotics for pneumonia - 3 more days, after which time the resident is to have a repeat x-ray to determine status of the pneumonia". Is it appropriate to code the pneumonia in this scenario?
- A. Yes J18.8, Pneumonia, other specified organism
- B. Yes, J18.9, Pneumonia, unspecified organism, Z79.2 should be coded along with long term antibiotics
- C. No, since the patient needed a repeat x-ray, the condition does not clarify as a diagnosis
- D. Yes, J18.9, Pneumonia, unspecified organism, should be coded until the condition is resolved
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
It is appropriate to code the pneumonia in this scenario because the condition is still present and being treated at the time of admission to the long-term care facility. According to the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, a diagnosis is reportable if it is documented as "present on admission" or "active" by the provider, or if it requires or affects patient care treatment or management 2. In this case, the pneumonia is still active and requires IV antibiotics and a repeat x-ray, which indicates that it affects the patient care treatment and management. Therefore, the pneumonia should be coded as J18.9, Pneumonia, unspecified organism, which is the default code for pneumonia when no causal organism is identified 3. In addition, the code Z79.2, Long term (current) use of antibiotics, should be coded to indicate that the patient is receiving long term antibiotic therapy as part of the treatment plan 4.

質問 # 31
Which of the following is an example of a hospital-acquired condition when not present on admission?
- A. Pressure ulcer stage III
- B. Pressure ulcer stage II
- C. Iatrogenic pneumothorax with venous catheterization
- D. Iatrogenic pneumothorax with lung biopsy
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
A hospital-acquired condition (HAC) is an undesirable situation or condition that affects a patient and that arose during a stay in a hospital or medical facility. CMS has identified 14 categories of HACs for which it will not pay the higher DRG rate if the condition was not present on admission (POA). One of these categories is stage III and IV pressure ulcers. A pressure ulcer is damage to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. Stage III pressure ulcers involve full-thickness skin loss with damage or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying fascia. The ulcer presents as a deep crater with or without undermining of adjacent tissue.
A: Iatrogenic pneumothorax with lung biopsy is not a HAC, because it is not included in the CMS HAC list.
Iatrogenic pneumothorax is a HAC only when it occurs with venous catheterization.
B: Iatrogenic pneumothorax with venous catheterization is a HAC, but it may be present on admission if the venous catheterization was performed before the admission to the hospital.
C: Pressure ulcer stage II is not a HAC, because only stage III and IV pressure ulcers are included in the CMS HAC list. Stage II pressure ulcers involve partial-thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both. The ulcer is superficial and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater.

The correct coding for insertion of a dialysis catheter into the right internal jugular vein with the tip ending in the cavoatrial junction is
- A. 02H633Z Insertion of infusion device into right atrium, percutaneous approach
- B. 05HM33Z Insertion of infusion device into right internal jugular vein, percutaneous approach
- C. 05HP33Z Insertion of infusion device into right external jugular vein, percutaneous approach
- D. 02HV33Z Insertion of infusion device into superior vena cava, percutaneous approach
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
According to the ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual 2023, the insertion of a dialysis catheter into the right internal jugular vein with the tip ending in the cavoatrial junction is coded as follows1:
The first character 0 indicates the Medical and Surgical section.
The second character 5 indicates the Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance and Performance root operation, which is defined as "Putting in or on a device that completely takes over a body function by extracorporeal means"1.
The third character H indicates the Central Vein body system, which includes the internal jugular vein1.
The fourth character M indicates the Infusion Device device value, which is defined as "A device that is inserted into a body part to deliver fluids or other substances to a body part or into the circulation"1.
The fifth character 3 indicates the Right Internal Jugular Vein body part value, which is the specific site of the procedure1.
The sixth character 3 indicates the Percutaneous approach, which is defined as "Entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach and visualize the site of the procedure"1.
The seventh character Z indicates No Qualifier, which means there is no additional information necessary to complete the code1.
Therefore, the correct coding for insertion of a dialysis catheter into the right internal jugular vein with the tip ending in the cavoatrial junction is 05HM33Z.

質問 # 33
The clinical documentation integrity (CDI) team in a hospital is initiating a project to change the unacceptable documentation behaviors of some physicians. What strategy should be part of a project aimed at improving these behaviors?
- A. Add a physician advisor/champion to the CDI team
- B. Expand use of coding queries by CDI team
- C. Alter the physician documentation requirements
- D. Encourage physician-nurse cooperation
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
A strategy that should be part of a project aimed at improving the unacceptable documentation behaviors of some physicians is to add a physician advisor/champion to the CDI team. A physician advisor/champion is a physician leader who supports and advocates for the CDI program, educates and mentors other physicians on documentation best practices, resolves conflicts and barriers, and provides feedback and recognition to physicians who improve their documentation. A physician advisor/champion can help change the documentation behaviors of some physicians by using peer influence, credibility, and authority to motivate them to comply with the CDI program goals and standards. A physician advisor/champion can also help bridge the gap between the CDI team and the physicians, and foster a culture of collaboration and quality improvement 23.

質問 # 34
A 45-year-old female is admitted after sustaining a femur fracture. Orthopedics is consulted and performs an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of the femur without complication. Nursing documents the patient has a body mass index of 42 kg/m2. The clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) determines a query is needed to capture a diagnosis associated with the body mass index so it can be reported. Which of the following is the MOST compliant query based on the most recent AHIIMA/ACDIS query practice brief?
- A. Nursing documents the BMI is 42 kg/m2. Please consider if any of the following diagnoses should be added to the health record to support this finding: morbid obesity; obesity; other diagnosis (please state)
- B. Nursing documents the BMI is 42 kg/m2. In order to capture a co-morbid condition (CC) to increase reimbursement, please add 'morbid obesity with BMI 42 kg/m2' to your next progress note.
- C. Nursing documents the BMI is 42 kg/m2. To increase the severity of illness and risk of mortality, please add 'morbid obesity with BMI 42 kg/m2' to your next progress note.
- D. Nursing documents the BMI is 42 kg/m2. Can you please clarify if the patient's morbid obesity was present on admission and add the diagnosis to future progress notes?
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
This is the most compliant query based on the most recent AHIMA/ACDIS query practice brief because it is non-leading, non-suggestive, and provides multiple options for the physician to choose from. It also does not imply any financial or quality implications for adding a diagnosis associated with the BMI.

質問 # 35
A patient's progress note states "The patient has chronic systolic heart failure". After reviewing clinical indicators suggestive of an exacerbation of systolic heart failure, the clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) queries the physician to clarify the current acuity of the diagnosis. Which subsequent documentation in the health record suggests the provider did not understand the query?
- A. The patient has acute on chronic systolic heart failure.
- B. The patient did have an exacerbation of heart failure.
- C. The patient has chronic systolic heart failure.
- D. The patient has decompensated systolic heart failure.
正解：C
解説：
Explanation
According to the AHIMA CDIP Exam Preparation Guide, a query is a communication tool or process used to clarify documentation in the health record for documentation integrity and accurate code assignment1. A query should be clear, concise, and consistent, and should include relevant clinical indicators that support the query1. A query should also provide multiple choice answer options that are supported by clinical indicators and include a non-leading query statement2. In this case, the CDIP queried the physician to clarify the current acuity of the diagnosis of chronic systolic heart failure, based on clinical indicators suggestive of an exacerbation of systolic heart failure. The subsequent documentation in the health record that suggests the provider did not understand the query is A. The patient has chronic systolic heart failure. This documentation does not address the query or provide any additional information about the patient's condition. It simply repeats the same diagnosis that was already documented in the progress note. This documentation does not reflect the patient's true severity of illness, risk of mortality, or reimbursement3. The other options are not correct because they do provide some information about the current acuity of the diagnosis of chronic systolic heart failure, such as acute on chronic, exacerbation, or decompensation. These terms indicate a higher level of severity and complexity than chronic alone. References:

質問 # 36
What is the term used when a patient is entered in the Master Patient Index (MPI) multiple times, in different ways, resulting in multiple medical record numbers?
- A. Replica
- B. Overlap
- C. Clone
- D. Facsimile
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
The term used when a patient is entered in the MPI multiple times, in different ways, resulting in multiple medical record numbers is overlap. An overlap occurs when a person has more than one medical record number within an integrated delivery network or enterprise, and may cause problems such as incomplete or inaccurate patient information, duplicate testing or treatment, billing errors, or patient safety issues. An overlap may be caused by data entry errors, system conversions, mergers or acquisitions, or lack of standardization. Regular audits of the MPI database must be done to identify and resolve any overlaps and ensure data quality and integrity.

質問 # 37
When benchmarking with outside organizations, the clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) must determine if the organization is benchmarking with which of the following criteria?
- A. Hospital within its region
- B. Hospitals that are its peers
- C. Hospital within its state
- D. Hospital within its county
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
When benchmarking with outside organizations, the clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) must determine if the organization is benchmarking with hospitals that are its peers because peer hospitals have similar characteristics such as size, location, teaching status, case mix index, and payer mix. Benchmarking with peer hospitals allows for a more accurate and meaningful comparison of performance indicators and outcomes. (CDIP Exam Preparation Guide) References:

質問 # 38
A clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) is reviewing an outpatient surgical chart. The patient underwent a laparoscopic appendectomy for acute gangrenous appendicitis. Which coding reference should be used for coding advice on correct assignment of the procedure code for proper ambulatory payment classification (APC) reimbursement?
- A. O AMA CPT Assistant
- B. The Merck Manual
- C. AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS
- D. O ICD-10-CM/PCS Codebook
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
The coding reference that should be used for coding advice on correct assignment of the procedure code for proper ambulatory payment classification (APC) reimbursement is the AMA CPT Assistant. The CPT Assistant is the official source of guidance from the American Medical Association (AMA) on the proper use and interpretation of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, which are used to report outpatient and professional services. The CPT Assistant provides clinical scenarios, frequently asked questions, coding tips, and updates on CPT coding changes. The CPT codes are used to determine the APC reimbursement for outpatient services under the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS). (CDIP Exam Preparation Guide) References:

質問 # 39
A query should be generated when documentation contains a
- A. problem list with symptoms related to the chief complaint
- B. principal diagnosis without an MCC
- C. postoperative hospital-acquired condition
- D. diagnosis without clinical validation
正解：D
解説：
Explanation
A query should be generated when documentation contains a diagnosis without clinical validation, meaning that there is no evidence in the health record to support the diagnosis or that the diagnosis is inconsistent with other clinical indicators. A diagnosis without clinical validation may affect the accuracy and completeness of coding, quality measures, reimbursement, and patient care.

質問 # 40
An increase in claim denials has prompted a clinical documentation integrity (CDI) manager to engage the CDI physician advisor/champion in an effort to avoid future denials. How does this strategy impact the goal?
- A. Physicians can manage the documentation integrity process.
- B. Clinicians will not require documentation integrity education.
- C. Physicians will learn documentation integrity practices from peers.
- D. The CDI manager will exclusively provide education.
正解：C
解説：
Explanation
Engaging the CDI physician advisor/champion in an effort to avoid future denials is a strategy that impacts the goal of improving documentation integrity by leveraging the influence and expertise of a physician leader who can educate, mentor, and advocate for other physicians on documentation best practices. The CDI physician advisor/champion can act as a liaison between the CDI team and the medical staff, provide feedback and guidance on complex or challenging cases, resolve conflicts or discrepancies in documentation, and promote a culture of collaboration and quality improvement. Physicians are more likely to learn and adopt documentation integrity practices from their peers who understand their clinical perspective and challenges, rather than from non-physician CDI staff or managers.
A: The CDI manager will exclusively provide education. This is incorrect because engaging the CDI physician advisor/champion implies that the CDI manager will not be the sole source of education, but rather will partner with the physician leader to deliver effective and tailored education to the medical staff.
C: Physicians can manage the documentation integrity process. This is incorrect because engaging the CDI physician advisor/champion does not mean that physicians will take over the responsibility of managing the documentation integrity process, which involves multiple stakeholders, such as CDI specialists, coders, quality analysts, and auditors. Rather, physicians will be more involved and supportive of the documentation integrity process as a result of the education and mentorship provided by the CDI physician advisor/champion.
D: Clinicians will not require documentation integrity education. This is incorrect because engaging the CDI physician advisor/champion does not eliminate the need for documentation integrity education for clinicians, but rather enhances and facilitates it by using a peer-to-peer approach that can increase awareness, engagement, and compliance among physicians.

質問 # 41
An 80-year-old male is admitted as an inpatient to the ICU with shortness of breath, productive yellow sputum, and a temperature of 101.2. CXR reveals bilateral pleural effusion and LLL pneumonia. Labs reveal a BUN of 42 and a creatinine level of 1.500.
The patient is given Zithromax 500 mg. IV, NS IV, and Lasix 40 mg tabs 2x/day. The attending physician documents bilateral pleural effusion, LLL pneumonia, and kidney failure. Two days later, the renal consult documents AKI with acute tubular necrosis (ATN). The correct principal and secondary diagnoses are
- A. PDx: AKI with ATN
SDx: LLL pneumonia, bilateral pleural effusion - B. PDx: LLL pneumonia
SDx: Bilateral pleural effusion, kidney failure - C. PDx: Bilateral pleural effusion
SDx: LLL pneumonia, kidney failure - D. PDx: LLL pneumonia
SDx: AKI with ATN, bilateral pleural effusion
正解：D
解説：
Explanation
According to the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting FY 2023, the principal diagnosis is defined as "the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission of the patient to the hospital for care"2. In this case, the patient was admitted with shortness of breath, productive yellow sputum, and a temperature of 101.2, which are signs and symptoms of pneumonia. The CXR confirmed the diagnosis of LLL pneumonia, which is a serious condition that requires inpatient care. Therefore, LLL pneumonia is the principal diagnosis.
The secondary diagnoses are defined as "all conditions that coexist at the time of admission, that develop subsequently, or that affect the treatment received and/or the length of stay"2. In this case, the patient had bilateral pleural effusion and kidney failure at the time of admission, which are coexisting conditions that affect the treatment received and/or the length of stay. The renal consult documented AKI with ATN, which is a more specific diagnosis than kidney failure and reflects the severity and etiology of the condition. Therefore, AKI with ATN and bilateral pleural effusion are secondary diagnoses.

質問 # 42
A patient presents to the emergency room with acute shortness of breath. The patient has a history of lung cancer that has been treated previously with radiation and chemotherapy. The patient is intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation. A chest x-ray is remarkable for a pleural effusion. A thoracentesis is performed, and the cytology results show malignant cells. Diagnoses on discharge: Acute respiratory failure due to recurrence of small cell carcinoma and malignant pleural effusion. Which coding reference takes precedence for assigning the ICD-10-CM/PCS codes?
- A. AMA CPT Assistant
- B. ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting
- C. Conventions and instructions of the classification for ICD-10-CM/PCS
- D. AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS
正解：C
解説：
Explanation
According to the CDIP Exam Content Outline, one of the tasks of a clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) is to apply coding conventions, guidelines, and definitions for ICD-10-CM/PCS. Coding conventions are the general rules for the use of the classification system, such as the use of abbreviations, punctuation, symbols, and sequencing instructions. Coding guidelines are the official rules for selecting and reporting codes based on the documentation in the health record. Coding definitions are the explanations of the terms and concepts used in the classification system. The conventions and instructions of the classification for ICD-10-CM/PCS take precedence over any other coding reference because they are the primary source of coding rules and standards. The other coding references, such as AMA CPT Assistant, AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS, and ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, are secondary sources that provide additional guidance, clarification, or interpretation of the coding conventions and instructions.

質問 # 43
A 90-year-old female patient was admitted to emergency room c/o nausea and vomiting x2 days. Vital signs:
BP 130/72, P 86, R 22, T 99.8F, O2 sat 94% on room air. Patient has a history of cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and difficulty swallowing. CXR revealed right lower lobe infiltrate. Labs: WBC 12.0 with 71% segs. Physician documents patient with a history of CVA and difficulty swallowing. CXR revealed right lower lobe infiltrate, diagnosis: pneumonia.
Aspiration precautions and IV Clindamycin
ordered. Patient was discharged 3 days later with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Clarification is needed to determine which of the following is clinically indicated.
- A. Pneumonia, a sequela of CVA
- B. Aspiration pneumonia
- C. Complex pneumonia
- D. Simple pneumonia
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
Aspiration pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that occurs when food, saliva, liquids, or vomit is breathed into the lungs or airways leading to the lungs, causing an infection or inflammation. Aspiration pneumonia is more likely to occur in people who have difficulty swallowing, such as those with a history of CVA2. In this case, the patient has a history of CVA and difficulty swallowing, and presents with nausea and vomiting, which are risk factors for aspiration. The CXR reveals a right lower lobe infiltrate, which is a common finding in aspiration pneumonia3. The physician documents pneumonia as the diagnosis, but does not specify the type or cause. Therefore, clarification is needed to determine if aspiration pneumonia is clinically indicated, as it would affect the coding and reimbursement of the case. Aspiration pneumonia is coded as ICD-10-CM code J69.x Pneumonitis due to solids and liquids, with a fourth digit required to specify the inhaled substance4.

質問 # 44
The clinical documentation integrity (CDI) manager is reviewing physician benchmarks and notices a low-severity level being measured against average length of stay.
What should the CDI manager keep in mind when discussing this observation with physicians?
- A. The query response rate directly correlates to quality reports.
- B. The diagnosis with a higher degree of specificity has a lower severity of illness.
- C. The query rate is too high while the agreement rate is low.
- D. The indicator is a key factor of measurement for quality reports.
正解：D
解説：
Explanation
According to the AHIMA CDIP Exam Preparation Guide, one of the CDI metrics and statistics that CDI managers should track and interpret is the severity level measured against average length of stay (ALOS)1. This indicator reflects the complexity and acuity of the patient population and the quality of care provided by the hospital2. A low-severity level with a high ALOS may indicate under-documentation or under-coding of the patient's condition, which may affect the hospital's reimbursement, risk adjustment, and quality scores3. Therefore, the CDI manager should keep in mind that this indicator is a key factor of measurement for quality reports when discussing this observation with physicians, and educate them on the importance of documenting and coding accurately and completely to reflect the patient's true severity of illness. The other options are not correct because they do not address the issue of severity level measured against ALOS, or they are not relevant to the CDI manager's role or responsibility. References:

質問 # 45
Which of the following is considered a hospital-acquired condition if not present on admission?
- A. Blood incompatibility
- B. Stage I and II pressure ulcers
- C. Diabetes with hypoglycemia
- D. Air leak
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
Blood incompatibility is considered a hospital-acquired condition if not present on admission, according to the CMS Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HAC) Reduction Program. This program reduces payments to hospitals that have high rates of certain conditions that are acquired during the hospital stay and could have been prevented by following evidence-based guidelines. Blood incompatibility is one of the 14 HAC categories that are included in the program, and it refers to a patient receiving a blood transfusion with incompatible blood type or Rh factor, which can cause serious adverse reactions such as hemolysis, anemia, renal failure, or death 23. Blood incompatibility is a preventable condition that can be avoided by proper blood typing and cross-matching before transfusion, and by following strict protocols and procedures for blood handling and administration 4.

質問 # 46
A patient is admitted for pneumonia with a WBC of 20,000, respiratory rate 20, heart rate 85, and oral temperature 99.0°. On day 2, sputum cultures reveal positive results for pseudomonas bacteria. The most appropriate action is to
- A. query the provider to see if pseudomonas sepsis is supported by the health record
- B. code pseudomonas pneumonia
- C. code pneumonia, unspecified
- D. query the provider to document the etiology of pneumonia
正解：D
解説：
Explanation
The most appropriate action in this case is to query the provider to document the etiology of pneumonia, which is pseudomonas bacteria. This is because the etiology of pneumonia affects the coding and classification of the condition, as well as the severity of illness, risk of mortality, and reimbursement. According to the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, pneumonia should be coded by type whenever possible, and if the type of pneumonia is not documented, then the default code is J18.9, Pneumonia, unspecified organism 2. However, if the type of pneumonia is documented, then a more specific code can be assigned, such as J15.1, Pneumonia due to Pseudomonas 3. Therefore, querying the provider to document the etiology of pneumonia will improve the accuracy and completeness of the documentation and coding, and reflect the true clinical picture of the patient.

質問 # 47
Which physician would best benefit from additional education for unanswered queries?
- A. Dr. C
- B. Dr. B
- C. Dr. D
- D. Dr. A
正解：C
解説：
Explanation
According to the Documentation Integrity Practitioner (CDIP) study guide, the physician with the highest number of unanswered queries would benefit from additional education. In this case, Dr. D has the highest number of unanswered queries with 9. Unanswered queries may indicate a lack of understanding, engagement, or compliance with the query process, which may affect the quality and accuracy of clinical documentation and coding1. Therefore, Dr. D would best benefit from additional education for unanswered queries, such as the importance of timely and appropriate query responses, the impact of queries on severity of illness, risk of mortality, and reimbursement, and the best practices for a compliant query practice2.
