Mrs. Sharon, a 23-year-old female patient, delivered a healthy child in the hospital with normal delivery and without any complications. Assign the correct ICD-10 code for this case.
  1. O80
  2. O82
  3. Z37.2
  4. Z37.3
Explanation
Answer: A 

O80 is the appropriate code here as it specifies a full-term, uncomplicated and normal delivery. 

Option B is not correct O82 codes for cesarean delivery without indication, which is not seen in this case. 

Option C is not correct because Z37.2 is used to specify Twins, both liveborn, but here, the female gave birth to a single child. 

Option D is not correct because Z37.3 is used to specify Twins, one liveborn and one stillborn, but here, the female gave birth to a single child who is healthy and alive.
