Question 1 Needs Grading What is the code for a tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter‚ without pump or port‚ in a 72-year-old patient? CPT Code: ____________________ Selected Answer: 36558 Correct Answer: 36558 Rationale: The coder should begin by locating the main term "Insertion" and then the subterm "Venous." After reviewingthe codes in the tabular list the coder should select 36558 because this is a "72 year old patient." Question 2 Needs Grading CPR (Cardiopulmonary

Variables Affecting Human Arterial Pressure and Pulse Pressure BIOL 204-506 Remi Ben-Davies Dashaun Lee‚ Amanda Easter‚ and Lynne Baker April 9th‚ 2015 1 Introduction: Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine how different variables may affect arterial pressure and pulse rate. Two subjects were used as models for the tests. The first two tests required the use of sphygmomanometers and stethoscopes to measure the arterial pressure and pulse rate. The last test required sphygmomanometers
