Question

Harold has been getting emetogenic chemotherapy and his physician prescribed Aprepitant (an antiemetic). He took a dose, thinking that he forgot to take it earlier, as scheduled. He actually then, overdosed, causing a bad reaction. At the ED, he was diagnosed with:

1) T45.0X5A Adverse effect of antiallergic and antiemetic drug, initial encounter
2) T45.0X2A Poisoning by antiallergic and antiemetic drugs, intentional self-harm, initial encounter
3) T45.0X1A Poisoning by antiallergic and antiemetic drugs, accidental, initial encounter
4) T45.0X3A Poisoning by antiallergic and antiemetic drugs, assault, initial encounter

Answer 1

The correct diagnosis for Harold in this case would be 'T45.0X1A Poisoning by antiallergic and antiemetic drugs, accidental, initial encounter.'

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the correct diagnosis for Harold would be T45.0X1A Poisoning by antiallergic and antiemetic drugs, accidental, initial encounter. This code is used when there is an accidental overdose or poisoning of a medication, and in this case, Aprepitant is an antiemetic drug. The initial encounter indicates that it was Harold's first visit to the ED for this incident.
