Dining room in school dormitory as place

This code identifies the specific location where an injury or other external cause event occurred, indicating a dining room situated within a school dormitory. It specifies the physical environment at the time of the incident, rather than the nature of the injury itself.

This code is used when documenting an external cause event that took place in a dining area located within a school dormitory. Examples include falls, burns, or other accidents sustained by students or staff while eating or working in this specific setting. It should be assigned in conjunction with an external cause code describing the nature of the event and a code for the resulting injury or condition.

• Always assign this code as a secondary code, following the external cause code and the primary injury/condition code.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the incident occurred in a "dining room" and that this dining room is part of a "school dormitory."
• Do not use this code if the dining room is in a general school building or a non-dormitory setting; more specific codes exist for those locations.
