her shoulder by herself. "Passive" means when the doctor is moving the extremity. So, "actively" here is correct as far as the patient moving the extremity by herself in flexion and elevation as the other helper indicated.

Anyway, if this is the sentence, "There are three cysts identified within the right kidney, the largest of which is in the upper pole and measures 6.5 cm in diameter," then no comma is used before "which." The prepositional phrase begins with ", the largest of which."
I was taught years ago that you put a comma before "which" if it is referring to the immediate preceding phrase.
In this sentence, it refers to the former phrase: "This is a 51-year-old pleasant gentleman who had a shave biopsy of the left shoulder which revealed a possible Clark's nevus." The "which" refers to the shave biopsy, not the left shoulder.
In this one, it refers to the immediately preceding phrase: "Will continue the sertraline but will increase the amount to 75 mg daily, which would be 50 mg plus 25 mg." The "which" refers to the 75 mg daily, not the sertraline.
Is this still correct? Anyone?

TM stands for appx 20 or more things, so you cannot guess which one. Also,the same goes for LAM. It stands for seven different things and you cannot guess which one.
I was taught in this situation to leave it as said. My account even specifies in assessment and plan to never abbreviate except in this case when you cannot 100% verify what the doc means if there is more than one meaning to the abbreviation.
Hope this helps
