|---|---|
| Acute inflammation of a localized area of superficial tissue. Predisposing conditions that can possibly cause this are open wounds, ulcerations, tinea pedis, and dermatits. | Cellulitis |
| What are the signs and symptoms for cellulitis? | red, hot skin with edema at the site of the infection; nearby lymph nodes often become inflamed. |

| Type of erythematous condition. A bullous form of erythema muliforme that may be extensive over the body and produce serious subjective symptoms and possibly death. | Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) |
| Type of erythematous condition. May occur with SJS. It is a syndrome in which large portions of the skin become intensely erythematous with epidermal necrolysis. The skin peels off the body in a manner of a second-degree burn. | Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) |
| Caused by tissue hypoxia. It usually occurs in a location of a bony prominence that has been subject to prolonged pressure against an external object. Aka pressure sores, or bed sores. | Pressure (Decubitus) Ulcer |
| The removal of foreign material and contaminated or devitalized tissue from an infected lesion until the surrounding healthy tissue is exposed. | Debridement |
| The surgical removal or cutting away of necrotic tissue usually performed with a scalpel. | Excisional debridment |
| Can include forcepts, tweezers, or scissors. It often includes the clipping away of loose necrotic tissue fragments. Aka pulsed, mechanical lavage, or high pressure irrigation. | Nonexcisional debridment |

| Which cranial nerve? Trigeminal nerve, delivers feeling to the face | Cranial nerve V |
| How is the CPT endocrine system anatomically arranged? | From the head downward |
| MEN1 or Werner's syndrome it causes multiple endocrine glands to become overactive simultaneously. | Multiple endocrine neoplasias Type 1 |
| It is considered routine to place a___ ___ for all intrathoracic surgeries to permit expansion of the lungs. It is not a separately billed service. | Chest tube placement |
| When filing a claim using an ____ procedure code, submit a cover letter of explanation and the full documentation of services. | Unlisted procedure code |
| Method to pierce the skull and access the brain. This type of puncture is described as the passage of a hollow needle through the posterior atlanto-occipital membrane into the cerebellar medullary cisterna magna area. | Cisternal puncture |
| the vessels at the base of the brain may give rise to aneurysms with possible rupture and can cause bleeding around the brain | Subarachnoid hemorrhage |
| Surgery on the back of the brain more to one side just behind the mastoid bone what is it called? | Retromastoid craniectomy |
| An accumulation of CSF; treatment includes placement of an extracranial shunt or tube. | hydrocephalus |
| Long spinal nerves emerging from the lower end of the spinal cord. These long nerves resemble a horse's tail. | Cauda equina |
| 63012 refers to the forward displacement of a vertebra over a lower segment usually in the lumbar region | Spondylolisthesis |
| An intervertebral disc that has a ruptured and spread out of its capsule | Herniated intervertebral disc |
| A bony outgrowth. They symptoms evelop on the upper and lower edges of the vertebral bodies and can exert pressure on the spinal cord. | Osteophyte removal is osteophytectomy |
| Placed to treat chronic back pain by delivering low voltage electrical stimulation to the dorsal columns of the spinal cord to block the sensation of pain | Spinal neurotransmitters |
| How many cranial nerves are there? How many spinal nerves? | 12 Craigslist & 31 spinal |
| When reporting nerve blocks blocks focus on the joint areas between adjacent nerves that the provider targets one nerve block 'level' will involve how many nerves? | 2 |
| Physician provides diagnostic nerve blocks for C2 C3 & C4. How many nerves or levels? | 2 Code 64490 for 1st level & add on code 64491 for the 2nd level |
| Voluntary motor and sensory nerves supplying skeletal muscles and tissues | Somatic nerves |
| Nerves that are part of the involuntary autonomic nervous system | Sympathetic nerves |
| Any agent used to destroy nerve tissue. The purpose is to provide constant relief of pain due to disease or other abnormal CT of the nerve root. These procedures are also referred to as rhizotomy. | Neurolytic agents |
| Refers to the process of interrupting the complex chemical reactions at the junction of the nerve endplate and the muscular surface it is designed to enervate. It is useful in treating patients with spasmodic problems such as dystonia and cerebral palsy. | Chemodenervation |
| Excruciating last treating pain lasting up to two minutes accompanied with sensory division. Chewing or brushing teeth often activates this pain. Compression of the trigeminal nerve where enters the brain is usually the cause. | Trigeminal neuralgia |
| Means the nerve has been moved from one place to another | Transposition |
