Question Answered step-by-step A full-term, 38-week gestation, infant is born by vaginal birth in… A full-term, 38-week gestation, infant is born by vaginal birth in the hospital to a 35-year- old female who develops gestational diabetes during the pregnancy. The mother required close monitoring during the pregnancy because of rather severe fluctuations in blood glucose level. The infant, weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces, appears normal and healthy. However, because of the mother’s gestational diabetes, the infant is kept as an inpatient in the hospital two days longer than usual to observe for possible metabolic disorders as a result of his mother’s condition. No symptoms are exhibited by the infant, and the results of diagnostic studies performed are negative. The pediatrician writes the discharge diagnosis as normal, full-term infant, observed for possible effects of mother’s gestational diabetes, no disease found.Primary diagnosis codeSecondary diagnosis codePrimary procedure code Secondary procedure code Health Science Science Nursing HIMT 1400 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
