Final answer:
The correct combination of codes for a patient admitted with acute exacerbation of COPD with a history of tobacco dependence is J44.9, Z87.891.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is d) J44.9, Z87.891.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease characterized by chronic poor airflow, causing shortness of breath and a productive cough. It is primarily caused by tobacco smoking, which leads to the breakdown of connective tissues in the lungs. The ICD-10 code for COPD is J44.9. The code Z87.891 represents a personal history of tobacco use. Therefore, the correct combination of codes for a patient admitted with acute exacerbation of COPD with a history of tobacco dependence would be J44.9, Z87.891.
