Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Z03.6-1 (Encounter for observation for suspected toxic effect of other agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system) is appropriate for Jamee's visit since he was brought in for observation after the potential ingestion of naproxen. POA (present on admission) would be 1 (present at the time of inpatient admission). There is no indication that Jamee suffered any toxic effects or that he was prescribed any treatment. Therefore, T39.311A-Y (Poisoning by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, accidental, initial encounter) is not applicable.
