Subject: 5. 15 liters of oxygen per minute?
I have replayed this multiple times and could swear the RN is saying the patient received 5.15 liters per minute of oxygen but that does not seem reasonable to me. The patient is in ICU for pulmonary hemorrhage and was desatting below 80. Feedback anyone?

One thing--O2 is an O, not a zero. O stands for oxygen. sm
Subject: One thing--O2 is an O, not a zero. O stands for oxygen. sm
So, for #3, it would be either 4 liters of O2, or 4 L O2 (depending on your account specifics--check to see if you should subscript the 2). Make sure that is an O, not a 0. As far as typing F for temperature, check your account specifics. If they do want you to insert Fahrenheit, leave a space before it. If it is not dictated, it may be okay to leave it out. Again, account specifics prevail.

I've been dealing with ESL dictators and I can't decide if they're saying in the PE that "pulse is 79, permanent" or pulse 79 per minute" Any idea on which is more common? Thanks.

She required a micro round-per-minute of Dopamine to maintain her pressure. Do I have the hyphens correct in round-per-minute? There wouldn't be a hyphen between micro and round would there? Hyphens really get me :(
Thanks.
