Breasts Answer: c. blood vessels QUESTION What does oligospermia mean? A. Presence of blood in the semen B. Deficiency of sperm in semen C. Having sperm in urine D. Formation of spermatozoa Answer: b. deficiency of sperm in semen The breakdown of this term: combining form olig/o means too few or too little and spermia refers to the condition of the sperm.

QUESTION A 45-year-old male is in outpatient surgery to excise a basal cell carcinoma of the right nose and have reconstruction with an advancement flap. The 1.2 cm lesion with an excised diameter of 1.5 cm was excised with a 15-blade scalpel down to the level of the subcutaneous tissue, totaling a primary defect of 1.8 cm. Electrocautery was used for hemostasis. An adjacent tissue transfer of 3 sq cm was taken from the nasolabial fold and was advanced into the primary defect. Which CPT® code(s) is (are) reported? A. 14060 B. 11642, 14060 C. 11642, 15115 D. 15574 Answer: A. 14060 An adjacent tissue transfer (advancement flap) was used to repair a defect on the nose due to an excision of a malignant lesion, eliminating multiple choice answers C and D. The section guidelines in the CPT® codebook for Adjacent Tissue or Rearrangement indicate that the excision of a benign lesion () or a malignant lesion () is included in codes for adjacent tissue transfer (), and are not separately reported. This eliminates multiple choice answer B. QUESTION A 24-year-old patient had an abscess by her vulva which burst. She has developed a soft tissue infection caused by gas gangrene. The area was debrided of necrotic infected tissue. All of the pus was removed and irrigation was performed with a liter of saline until clear and clean.

The correct CPT® code is: A. 56405 B. 10061 C. 11004 D. 11042 Answer: c. 11004 The abscess had already burst, with no need to perform an incision to open it, eliminating multiple choice answers A and B. The difference between multiple choice answers C and D, is that the patient is having the debridement performed due to a soft tissue infection in the perineum area. The correct code is 11004 for debridement of necrotized infected tissue on the external genitalia. QUESTION A 63-year-old man wants a second opinion for his sleep apnea.

Office Consultation () D. Observation Care () Answer: QUESTION What is orchitis? A. Inner ear imbalance B. Lacrimal infection C. Inflammation of testis D.
