answers are correct. In addition,
code narratives are included to describe each ICD-10 code used in the exercises
and scenario.

Coding scenario
Code the following scenario according to ICD-10 coding conventions and
guidelines:
Robin and her husband are celebrating their
daughter Kennedy?s 16th birthday. Kennedy is a well-mannered honor
student and an avid athlete. To show their love and appreciation to their
daughter, they purchased a new car for her.
Kennedy began studying for her driver?s license immediately. While completing
her application for the license, she
came across questions on the form that asked if she had any of the following
conditions: day, night, or color blindness;
visual halos; double vision; glare sensitivity; or declared legally blind.
Kennedy was concerned because she wears
prescription glasses; fortunately, none of these conditions applied to her.
