Wiki Blood borne exposure

[umas86]

Hi,
can somebody help me out? The report states "The Pt was injecting local anethesia prior to a procedure. While he was recapping a 25g needle and stuck his left middle finger. He immediatly flushed and cleansed the area." The impression states bloodborne exposure, what dx can be given.

Is this part of a homework assignment? If so, what codes are you thinking about?

Look for an injury and poisoning code, a V code for the exposure and an E code for the needlestick if you are reporting external causes.
