Answer 1

The correct code for the treatment of neonatal jaundice in a preterm infant born via vaginal delivery at 36 weeks gestation is P59.9, Z38.30, P07.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct code for the treatment of neonatal jaundice in a preterm infant born in the hospital via vaginal delivery at 36 weeks gestation is P59.9, Z38.30, P07.8 (option a).

Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in which the baby's skin and eyes appear yellow due to the buildup of bilirubin. The ICD-10 code for neonatal jaundice is P59.9. The code Z38.30 represents the single liveborn infant, born in the hospital via vaginal delivery, and the code P07.8 signifies other specified disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight, not elsewhere classified.
