In the principal diagnosis display example, what are the values for I PAF 40 and I PAF 50?

• A. I PAF 40 = CEV; I PAF 50 = 3202
• B. I PAF 40 = 3202; I PAF 50 = CEV
• C. I PAF 40 = 0; I PAF 50 = 0
• D. I PAF 40 = 320; I PAF 50 = 320

Answer: (B)

In the principal diagnosis display, one field shows the numeric code and the other shows its human-readable label. The example assigns the numeric code 3202 to the first field and the label CEV to the second, so I PAF 40 holds 3202 and I PAF 50 holds CEV. This pairing lets you see both the code and its descriptor together, which is why this mapping is the correct one. The other options would misplace the code and label or use unrelated values, which wouldn’t match the display shown.
