Answer 1

The appropriate level of evaluation and management code (E/M code) for this scenario is Level 2 (99232).

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Medicine and the grade is College.

The appropriate level of evaluation and management code (E/M code) for this scenario would be Level 2 (99232). A minor injury that requires a consultation with an orthopedist, where a brief visit determines a minor problem, would fall under this level of E/M code.

Therefore, the correct answer is Level 2 (99232).
