What do ICD codes describe?

Medical procedures
Nurses' roles
Patient feedback
The disease or injury

The correct answer is: Medical procedures

ICD codes, or International Classification of Diseases codes, are used to describe the disease or injury that a patient has. These codes are used for billing, research, and statistical purposes in healthcare settings. Therefore, choice A is correct as ICD codes do not describe medical procedures, nurses' roles, or patient feedback.
