Using the Pre-cert criteria and patient histories, compare the three patient’s histories to the criteria for tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. Determine if the patient should be approved for the procedure or not. Submit a summary page to your instructor for grading that includes: the patient number, which criteria you used for each patient (eg. 200 Chronic Tonsillitis) and then identify the specific criteria that the patient met (eg. 211 Throat pain and 212-4 Documented increase in tonsil size) or explain why the patient did not meet the criteria for the procedure. ONLY ONE set of criteria can be used per patient.
