Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework for coding functional abilities in
rehabilitation?
A. United Nations (UN)
B. World Health Organization (WHO)
C. United States
D. United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
ANS: B
Rationale: WHO is responsible for the development of the ICF framework to be used in
conjunction with the ICD-10-CM coding system for disease and diagnosis.
2. What is the difference between the ICF framework and the ICD-10-CM coding system?
A. The ICF framework is responsible for coding diseases, whereas the ICD-10-CM coding
system codes a medical diagnosis.
B. The ICD-10-CM coding system codes diseases, whereas the ICF framework codes a medical
diagnosis.
C. The ICF framework is responsible for coding functional abilities, whereas the ICD-10-CM
coding system codes diseases.
D. The ICF framework and the ICD-10-CM coding system both code diseases and a medical
diagnosis.
ANS: C
Rationale: The ICF framework is used to code functional abilities in conjunction with the ICD-
10-CM framework, which is used to code diseases or a medical diagnosis.
3. The ICD-10-CM coding system and the ICF framework are part of a broader system known as
the Family of International Classifications. Which classification system is responsible for the
parameters related to the ICD-10-CM coding system and the ICF framework?
A. Reference classifications
B. Derived classifications
C. Related classifications
D. Functional classifications
Copyright © 2022 by F. A. Davis Company
,ANS: A
Rationale: Reference classifications are those responsible for the ICD-10-CM and the ICF
framework. They cover those parameters related to health issues affecting a person’s ability to
function. Derived classifications include more specialized classifications of diseases or disorders
(ICF-CY), and related classifications include aspects of health not commonly addressed or
related to specific diseases or disorders. Functional classifications are not part of this system.
4. The ICF framework is important for multiple reasons. Identify the reason that signifies its
importance in the care of patients in rehabilitation.
A. It is used only in the United States to determine how function is affected by a patient’s disease
process.
B. It is used in conjunction with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) to protect patient confidentiality.
C. It is used to determine how a patient’s disease can affect his or her ability to function.
D. It is used to provide foreign countries with the ability to evaluate a patient’s disease or
diagnosis.
ANS: C
Rationale: The ICF framework was developed as a worldwide classification system, in
conjunction with the ICD-10-CM framework, to determine how a patient’s function is affected
by his or her disease or diagnosis.
5. What organization endorsed the use of the ICF framework in its publications in 2010?
A. HIPAA
B. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
C. WHO
D. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)

of Delegates in 2010. Preparations are being made to convert all publications using this material
over the next year.
6. The ICF framework was developed from two key components. Identify the correct
components.
A. Functioning and disability, and contextual factors
B. Disability and disease, and functional factors
C. Functioning, and disease and environmental factors
D. Contextual, and disability and disease factors
Copyright © 2022 by F. A. Davis Company
,ANS: A

disability, and contextual factors.
7. Which component includes environmental factors within the ICF?
A. Functional factors
B. Disabilities
C. Disease factors
D. Contextual factors
ANS: D
Rationale: Environmental factors are included within the component of contextual factors.
Functional abilities include the other three domains of body structures, body functions, and
activities and participation.

impact on a patient’s disease process or disability on his/her function. Choose the correct
domain that can be identified using the letter b.
A. Environmental factors
B. Body structure
C. Body function
D. Activities and participation
ANS: C
Rationale: Body function is the domain represented by the letter b in the ICF framework. Body
structure is represented by the letter s, activities and participation by the letter d, and
environmental factors by the letter e.
9. The letter d is used to denote a specific domain in the ICF framework. Identify the correct
domain that uses this specific letter for identification.
A. Body structure
B. Body function
C. Activities and participation
D. Environmental factors
ANS: C
Rationale: The letter d is used to identify those factors that include activities and participation
related to the patient’s ability to function depending on how the disease process or disability
Copyright © 2022 by F. A. Davis Company
,affects this function. Body function is represented by the letter b, body structure is represented
by the letter s, and environmental factors by the letter e.
10. When was the ICD-10-CM coding system implemented in the United States?
