Q14 Single choice

A 75-year-old, diabetic patient with a history of osteoporosis, being treated with Fosamax, who sustained a femur fracture after falling down three stairs. The provider's documentation indicates to admit the patient for a traumatic femur fracture and an orthopedics consult is pending. The clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) decides to query for a possible link between osteoporosis and the femur fracture.

Which of the following is the most compliant query based on the most recent AHIMA/ACDIS query practice brief?

A
Patient admitted for a femur fracture with a history of osteoporosis being treated with Fosamax. In your medical opinion, is this fracture consistent with an osteoporotic pathological fracture?
B
Patient admitted for a femur fracture with a history of osteoporosis being treated with Fosamax. Please clarify the cause of the femur fracture in your next note and/or the discharge summary.
C
Patient admitted for a femur fracture with a history of osteoporosis being treated with Fosamax. Could diabetes be a contributing factor in the femur fracture?
D
Patient admitted for a femur fracture with a history of osteoporosis being treated with Fosamax. Please document "femur fracture due to osteoporosis" in your next progress note to demonstrate a link between the two diagnoses.
