  1. N32.0
  2. N31.1
  3. N32.3

N32.0 is the correct code for bladder neck obstruction, which is the diagnosis in Miss Kathleen. Due to this diagnosis, she is experiencing postvoid dribbling or an inability to control urine flow after urination. 

Option B is not correct because N31.3 codes for neuropathic reflex bladder which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option C is not correct because N32.1 codes for the diverticulum of the bladder which is not the diagnosis here. 

Option D is not correct because N31.2 codes for flaccid neuropathic bladder, which is not the diagnosis here.
