Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) — Question 74

After a work sampling study was completed, it was found that 20% of a coder's time was devoted to pulling records for physicians with missing diagnoses. How many minutes of a 7-hour day are taken up with this activity?

Answer options

• A. 140
• B. 84
• C. 2 1
• D. 5 6 B

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is 84 minutes, as 20% of a 7-hour workday (which is 420 minutes) equals 84 minutes. The other options do not accurately represent 20% of the total time and are therefore incorrect.
