A: Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is a narcotic pain reliever similar to morphine commonly used to treat moderate to severe pain, bone pain, dental pain, and migraines. Hydromorphone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Do not drink alcohol.
The initial routine prenatal visit should occur between 6 and 8 wk gestation. Follow-up visits should occur at about 4-wk intervals until 28 wk, at 2-wk intervals from 28 to 36 wk, and weekly thereafter until delivery. Prenatal care includes screening for disorders, taking measures to reduce fetal and maternal risks, and counseling.
However, you should not begin the ob record until the next visit. Otherwise, carriers will consider the whole visit part of the global ob service. Keep in mind: You must report what you know at the end of any visit. If the ob-gyn knows the patient is pregnant, you must report the patient as pregnant and include the pregnancy diagnosis (V22.0-V22.2).
