Please read the HPI paragraph below & tell me how many elements you can count for the level & what level you get. I'm having a hard time with this due to multiple opinions on how many elements I get which to me qualifies for an expanded problem focused & another coder getting a detailed level for the HPI. The level has to meet a detailed for the EM level for observation & I don't believe it meets a detailed level.
Thank you

History of Present Illness: Shirley is an 82 year old woman who had been admitted to the hospital on 04/14 for back pain from a thoracic vertebral compression fracture. She was sent down to another hospital on 04/16 for a vertebroplasty she had done. On the way home she felt she had to go to the bathroom and stopped at the hospital here because her son was familiar with it. Here she felt tired & wanted to lay down & after laying down awhile her son decided he would rather have her spend the night here as he was uncomfortalbe taking her home due to her having pain. She was also feeling constipated. She was real sleepy after having the vertebroplasty.
Thank you
