Pregunta 16
Pregunta

-
item overlap.
-
K-corrections.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
When Scales 5 or 0 are highest or second-highest in the code,
Respuesta

their interpretation should be supplemented by subsequent elevations (typically the third-highest scale).
-
the clinician should use only the well-defined strategy for codetyping.

Respuesta
- True
- False
Pregunta 19

Respuesta
- True
- False
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
