Question 16. 16. The following documentation is from the health record of a 39-year-old female patient. This 39-year-old female was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago. At that time she had a mastectomy performed, with no evidence of metastases to the lymph nodes. About 8 months ago, metastases were found in her liver. The patient was given chemotherapy. She has been losing weight and developing increased fatigue. Patient was referred to hospice care program, with a life expectancy of 4 to 6 months. Progressive weight loss due to loss of appetite led to cachexia and program of home intravenous hyperalimentation. Progressive, unrelenting abdominal pain led to chronic use of analgesics. Patient is awake, alert, and desires to spend more time with family. Progressive weakness and dropping hemoglobin led to the decision to transfuse the patient every 2 weeks with 2 units of packed cells. Patient is stable and more comfortable on this regimen. What are the correct diagnosis codes assigned in this case? (Points : 5)
