Question

For Case 1, what are the correct diagnosis codes for this case?

a) E11.9, E78.2
b) E11.9, E78.2
c) E10.9, E78.2
d) E11.9, E78.5

Answer 1

Without complete clinical details, the correct diagnosis codes for Case 1 cannot be determined conclusively. E11.9 and E10.9 represent Type 2 and Type 1 diabetes without complications, respectively, while E78.2 and E78.5 represent different types of hyperlipidemia.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the correct diagnosis codes for Case 1, it is necessary to have the full clinical details, which are not provided in the question. However, based on the codes given, we can infer the following:

• E11.9 represents Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications.
• E10.9 represents Type 1 diabetes mellitus without complications.
• E78.2 represents mixed hyperlipidemia.
• E78.5 represents hyperlipidemia, unspecified.

Therefore, the correct diagnosis codes would depend on whether the patient has Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes since there is no distinction between E78.2 and E78.5 in the options and without additional clinical information we cannot determine the specific type of hyperlipidemia.
