Dr. Ramirez dictates his diagnosis into a recording device, which is transcribed into Mr. Wu's medical record by the transcriptionist, Sam Smith. Later, the office's medical coder, Anita Bryant, codes the information for the insurance system. Who can authenticate this entry in the medical record? A. Sam Smith or Anita Bryant B. Dr. Ramirez or Nurse Jones C. Dr. Ramirez, Nurse Jones, Sam Smith, Anita Bryant D. Dr. Ramirez

Answer 1

It should be D, as he is the most qualified medical examiner to be present when the diagnosis is made.

Answer 2

D because he has the most knowledge and that a nurse could do it but not the best answer. Sam Smith can't he can only put them in the folder. and Anita Bryant is for all the patients not for Mr. Wu. Plus you normally don't see these types of people in a hospital.
