questions on here. Honestly, the test is to see what YOU know, and you shouldn't be cheating by asking us. Not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you probably need some more schooling. Those online schools aren't very good IMHO.

cc. I have the latest BOS and BOS workbook and I'm still confused.
My account has a few doctors whose work is automatically sent to QA. I thought we were no longer supposed to use cc and change it to mL. I had marked as error when I changed doctor stated cc to mL. I then asked one of the mentors on my account and she stated mL is used for what goes into the patient, IV, blood products, etc., and cc is used for what comes out of the patient, urine etc.
Is there any consensus on this? I trust all of you here.

Can you hear "1+ swelling?"
For the second, she might have misspeaked. It looks as if she took a stool sample for Hemoccult while doing the rectal exam. I'm thinking she might be saying (or meant to say) "Stool negative for Hemoccult." Then she goes into the urine dip.
