On November 2, 2016, I, Deputy John Arnold, went to Canyon Road Baptist Church at 8550 South 49th West Avenue in Creek County, Oklahoma where Deputy Brandan Welsh was completing a stolen vehicle report. Upon my arrival the victim had already left. Deputy Welsh stated the victim arrived at the church at approximately 6:15 P.M. and at approximately 7:15 P.M. when he went to leave church, he discovered his 2007 Silver Cadillac STS sedan missing from the church parking lot. While Deputy Welsh was sitting in the parking lot, Deputy Welsh contacted Creek County Dispatch to enter the Cadillac into NCIC. Deputy Welsh and I left the church to go to an area where a known subject who has past history of auto theft lived to see if the car was at his residence. I was traveling North on South 33rd West Avenue from approximately the 6600 block when I observed a Silver Cadillac sedan traveling South on South 33rd West Avenue without headlights and I observed the vehicle to be driving partially off the roadway in the grass.

I waited for a truck to pass that was traveling South on 33rd West Avenue behind the Cadillac and I turned around. I caught up to the truck and could observe the Cadillac swerving from left of center, almost entirely into the on coming lane, back to the fog line. I…

According to Stearns & Fuller (2014), SNOMED CT “is not a classification system, but rather, a reference terminology that is designed to represent…

Generally, I feel confident about this assignment compared to my initial experience with the week 7 coding exercises practice. I found the scenario to be straightforward and easy to figure out the primary reason for the patient’s visit. However, I struggled initially with the right keyword to input in the search bar on the SNOMED CT website for the primary reason for the visit. I tried numerous gynecological medical terms including family planning, women services, and contraceptive pills but…
