Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Complication has to do with the clinician's familiarity with the patient and the requirements for the specific E/M service visit. For instance, a patient's very first E/M service visit in a physician's clinic office is considered a new patient visit. During this new patient visit, the physician must learn the patient's past, family, and social histories in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the PFSH factors in the patient's life. When that same patient returns to the physician's clinic one year later, that subsequent visit is known as an established patient visit. During this established patient visit, the patient's past and medical histories would not have changed much, and the physician will not need to require as much information for a complete documentation of the patient's PFSH.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
