ASSIGNMENT: Using your ICD-10-CM code book, apply the correct ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) to each. All documentation in the scenarios should be considered physician documentation. Remember, when the documentation indicates a patient was "admitted", you are required to use inpatient coding guidelines. Don't forget to verify your code as well as any instructional notes, etc. in the Tabular section so as to secure you have a valid code assignment.

SCENARIO #1: The patient was admitted to the hospital for monitoring of seizure-like spells.

FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Transient alteration of awareness, seizure disorder was ruled out.

SCENARIO #2: Screening colonoscopy was performed with findings that were positive for sigmoid diverticulitis.

SCENARIO #3: Admission due to fever and cough. The patient was evaluated for bronchitis but no evidence for such was found.
