Unacceptable Pdx as answers in coding exams
by Stephanie Se - I am doing the coding exam in Module 1, Section 6- questions #16-30 are about Z codes. And I'm running into codes that are unacceptable, yet they are the correct answer. It is the weekend, and I am trying to make sure I understand clearly before turning in my exam.
When doing my coding exam, does it matter that the answer is an unacceptable pdx? I have sent in an email to my instructor. Thank you.

by Instructor Melissa - Hi Stephanie,
You do not have to worry about codes that are labeled as "unacceptable PDx" in Module I. Good luck on the exam!

And for the purposes of module 1 exams, pdx is not necessary.
