Don't know if the question is complete because it is saying that the answer is A. But the question does not say anything about Alex having asthma (493.90). Also, since the vomiting and diarrhea was present on admission, why would you not code for it because he was also treated for it. There is a confirmed dx of food poisoning, why wouldn't that code be included as well. I would think that the answered would-be D, but it does not say anything about the child asthma. Therefore, that is the reason why I think that this question is not complete. But based on the other dx(s) that should be included is the reason why I assumed that the answer should be D. Could someone please confirm if the answer should be A or D?
