Question

A patient was admitted with hemoptysis; a CT of the chest revealed a lung mass.

a) R04.2, C34.90
b) R04.0, C34.90
c) R04.1, C34.90
d) R04.2, C34.80

Answer 1

The correct answer is R04.0, C34.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question is R04.0, C34.90. Hemoptysis refers to coughing up blood from the respiratory tract, and a lung mass can indicate a potential tumor or abnormal growth in the lung. R04.0 is the ICD-10 code for hemoptysis, and C34.90 is the ICD-10 code for an unspecified malignant neoplasm of the bronchus or lung. Therefore, the combination of R04.0 and C34.90 accurately describes the patient's symptoms.
