Everything can't come from the BOS. Some things we do have to 'wing it' so to speak. I have a verbatim account and can only type PRN, no periods, all caps, so that's how it would be done. P.r.n. Tylenol doesn't look right, so I would have to put it PRN Tylenol.
Since it's verbatim, how about w/o periods? Prn Tylenol. I don't think that looks bad. nm

No they are three separate views.
Subject: No they are three separate views.
No they are 3 separate views.
It is the sentence structure that is confusing. Three individual views, but once the word views gets put into the sentence it becomes plural and without the word views it is regarded as singular. I don't necessarily agree, but I believe this is why the QA department and your manager keep changing your grammar.

When it is really prothrombin time, it makes NO sense to type pro time as 2 words....I really don't care what BOS says about this one particular issue. The word really is prothrombin time and MDs say protime....I give them protime. Just my take on it.
