I get confused when it comes to coding from PRN orders. How do you code from PRN medication orders?
A diagnosis is documented as part of a PRN medication order.
a. The diagnosis can be coded from the order itself
b. If the same diagnosis is documented elsewhere in the record, it can be coded
c. The diagnosis can only be coded if the nurse gave the medication
d. The diagnosis can never be coded, regardless of where else it was documented
Any help is appreciated![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
