Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

? One documented finding may only be listed support either an HPI element or an ROS organ system because the documentation reflects the interchange between the patient and the performing physician.
? If the patient's painful throat is documented only once, this reflects that the painful throat was discussed only once.
? Listing the finding of the painful throat to support both the HPI and the ROS suggests that the painful throat was discussed twice, not once.
? When one documented finding is listed to support both an HPI element and a ROS element, it is referred to as "double dipping," and is strongly discouraged.
? If, however, a finding is documented more than once, then that finding may be listed to support both the HPI and the ROS because the documentation reflects that the finding has been discussed more than once.
