Which of the following activities is considered an unethical practice?
Backdating progress notes
Performing quantitative analysis
Verifying that an insurance company is one that is authorized to receive patient information
Determining what information is required to fulfill an authorized request for information
Correct Answer
A. Backdating progress notes
Explanation
Backdating progress notes is considered an unethical practice because it involves falsely
documenting that certain actions or events occurred at an earlier date than they actually did.
This can be done to cover up mistakes, inaccuracies, or delays in documentation, which can
compromise patient care and medical records integrity. It also violates professional standards,
ethical guidelines, and legal requirements for accurate and timely documentation in healthcare
settings.

What diagnosis would the coder expect to see when a patient with pneumonia (PNA) has
inhaled food, liquid, or oil?
Lobar pneumonia
Pneumocystitis carinii pneumonia
Interstitial pneumonia
Aspiration pneumonia
Correct Answer
A. Aspiration pneumonia
Explanation
When a patient with pneumonia inhales food, liquid, or oil, the coder would expect to see a
diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia occurs when foreign material, such as
food or liquid, is inhaled into the lungs, leading to infection and inflammation. This can happen
when a person has difficulty swallowing or coughs while eating or drinking, causing the material
to enter the airway instead of the digestive system. Aspiration pneumonia typically presents
with symptoms such as cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing.

, Where would a coder who needed to locate the histology of a tissue sample most likely find this
information
Pathology report
Progress notes
Nurse's notes
Operative report
Correct Answer
A. Pathology report
Explanation
A coder who needs to locate the histology of a tissue sample would most likely find this
information in a pathology report. A pathology report is a document that contains detailed
information about the examination of tissues and cells under a microscope. It provides
information about the type of tissue, any abnormalities or diseases present, and the histological
characteristics of the sample. Therefore, the pathology report is the most appropriate source for
the coder to find the histology of a tissue sample.
