Question

question 18 (2.5 points)
the axial plane divides the body into what sections?

• left and right
• front and back
• superior and inferior
• posterior and anterior

question 19 (2.5 points)
a patient receives complex radiation oncology treatments tow times a day for three days. code this series of clinical management fractions.

• 77427, 77431
• 77427
• 77427 x3, 77431 x3
• 77525 x3, 77523 x3

Explanation:

Analyze Question 18

Using the Axial Plane knowledge point
The axial plane, also known as the transverse plane, is a horizontal plane that runs parallel to the ground. It divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions.

Analyze Question 19

Using the Radiation Therapy Management Fractions knowledge point
The patient receives treatments twice a day for three days, totaling 6 fractions. Radiation therapy management is coded in units of 5 fractions (CPT 77427). A single remaining fraction (6 - 5 = 1) is coded with CPT 77431 if it represents 1 to 2 remaining fractions at the end of a course. Therefore, the correct coding combination for 6 fractions is 77427 and 77431.

Answer:

Question 18

• Left and right
• Front and back
• Superior and inferior (Correct answer)
• Posterior and anterior

Question 19

• 77427, 77431 (Correct answer)
• 77427
• 77427 X3, 77431 X3
• 77525 X3, 77523 X3
