What ICD-9 would you use for a digital rectal exam (DRE) performed to stimulate the bowel for a quadriplegic? I'm kind of at a loss for this one. Thanks.
 
Digital rectal stimulation is a treatment for patients with bowel problems (slow bowel, constipation). In this case, the patient is a quad. He was not assessing him, he was stimulating the bowel.
