Jane is seen by the family doctor. She had asthma as a child but it
seemed to go away. She noticed recently she sometimes has difficulty

Correct
Asthma, intermittent (mild) in the alphabetic index provides J45.20.
For Jane's diagnosis mild intermittent asthma, are there any directional notations the
coder should reference for our encounter?
Yes, we should code exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal
period (P96.81) since Jane had asthma as a child.
Yes, we should code R06.2 as the excludes1 note mentions
wheezing NOS is coded with another code.
Yes, we will code Jane with tobacco use as asthma is caused by
tobacco use.
No, no notations are referenced in our medical record.
Correct
If a patient is admitted into the hospital for pneumonia but three days later develops
