Hello I am having hard time determining whether or not to use R11.0 or Z51.11. For example if a patient comes in for chemo but doesn't state they have nausea. Would you use the R11.0 to prevent nausea due to chemo. Or code R11.0 when patient states they do have nausea.
 
you cannot use the symptom code for the patient that does not have the symptom documented. you may code only documented symptoms or diseases. so use the Z51.11
