A comatose patient's friend transports her to the ED. The
patient has a temperature of 103°F, and tachycardia. Upon arrival
to emergency room, she has a Glasgow Coma Scale of 10, opens eyes
to supraorbital pressure, incomprehensible words, and localizes
painful stimuli. The toxicology report notes the presence of
Ecstasy. The fever and tachycardia are attributed
to the drug use. It was uncertain if she willfully
ingested "Ecstasy" during a party held at a
friend's house. What are the diagnoses codes for
this scenario?
A T43.644A, R50.2, R00.0, R40.2422
B. T43.644A, R40.2122, R40.2222, R40.2352
C. T43.644A, R50.2, R00.0, R40.2122, R40.2222,
R40.2352
D. T43.644A, R50.2, R00.0, R40.2122, R40.2222,
R40.2352, R40.2422
