Garden or yard of unsp non-institut residence as place

This code indicates that an injury or adverse event occurred within the garden or yard area of a private, non-institutional dwelling. It specifies the general location of the incident, differentiating it from other areas of the residence or public spaces.

Use this code when documenting the external cause of an injury that took place in the outdoor, landscaped area surrounding a patient's home or another private residence. This includes incidents like falls while gardening, injuries from lawnmowers, or stings from insects encountered in the yard.

• Always use this code as a secondary code to describe the external cause of an injury.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the incident occurred in the "garden" or "yard" of a private residence.
• Do not use for incidents occurring inside the house, on the driveway, or in public parks.
