I would separate this from the social history with a new heading unless you're typing an account that is absolute verbatim and no embellishment is allowed. 

I try to think of the record from the patient's standpoint - the easier the information is to locate quickly, the faster and more efficient their treatment will be in a pinch.  I know I'd want my record treated that way! 

I have never come across this before...  my cc line is "Karen Arndt at Buckley Mendleson & Criscione, Attorneys-at-Law"

Problems: It wraps to the second line and I don't know how to format/word that sentence into a cc line.

Helllllllllllllllllllp!!!!???? 

I would type it as follows: aminophylline, Lanoxin, 25 mg, Lasix 40 mg, and Cardizem.

Hope this helps.

Looking for any help on formatting transcription labels in Word to print to a laser printer.  We purchased labels (3 per page)...I have tried to change settings in Create New Label; however, if we need it to continue on the next label it doesn't seem to work, the text continues, but "underneath" the next label.  How can we set it up so that it continues on the next label?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

The patient was seen by Dr. John Smith of the cardiology service.

This always messes me up!  I've done it the second way for many moons, but I'm training a new girl who says according to the BOS, I'm wrong.  Just wondering how everyone else does it.

I can't remember anything these days!  Please jog the memory of a scatter-brained mother of 4 young children by telling her the answer to the following question:

Do you italicize the word monilia?  Does the word need to be capitalized when transcribed within a sentence?  

Thank you all you smart people out there for being wonderful, wonderful, wonderful to us "special" people like me! 

How should you format the following:

chronic hepatitis at grade 2 and portal fibrosis that is stage 1?

Can anyone help me do the following:

I want to do a numbered list (i.e. an IMPRESSION: section), so that:

The numbers are flush left again the margin; and -

Each entry is indented a few spaces (a few spaces to the right of the numbers in the list).  If one entry in the list goes for more than a single line, I want the second line of that entry to ALSO be indented -- so that it does not sit underneath a number and does not look good. Every time I try to use the MS Word numbering feature, it pushes the whole list (including the numbers) to the right, so that the numbers themselves are no longer flush agains the left margin.

Thank you very much. Willing to call someone too if they can help me. Very important.

Okay I have 2 questions.  I'll just go ahead and paste in the parts that I need help with:

1.  Chordee with pain and scrotal engulfment.  For this one just want to make sure that the word in bold is the correct spelling for this type of report. 

2.  Penoplasty with _____ flaps.  The blank s/l Bier's flap, but not sure of the spelling.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 Two questions please: What is the proper way to type this?  Are my caps incorrect? 

The patient’s B-type Natriuretic Peptide was 312.

How far up is he feeling???? Help!

Just add me to your Yahoo IM and as long as I am online (and that's quite a bit), I'll help with BOS-2 questions!

No lengthy conversations, though, and no e-mails, please.

asking are very, very basic.  You might be getting in over your head if these terms are unfamiliar to you.  Maybe you are just nervous about taking a test and are struggling because of that.  I hope that is the case.  However, it is my opinion that asking for others for help on a test is cheating.  I'm sure you probably didn't think of it this way, otherwise you would not have shared at this point that you are testing.  Iknow you are desperate for help, but the company is testing YOU, not us on the word board.  You have to stand on your own skills when testing.  If you don't pass, then it means you are not ready.  Good luck to you.

I have a few questions:

1. Patient worked as a bartender in "Mike Dulin's". (The patient lives in NJ, if that helps.)

2. Regarding meds, doctor says Nasacort 8 q.  Is this supposed to mean q 8?

3. Under PE, eyes revealed s/l *archosenilis*.

4. The patient has severe COPD with PFTs severely reduced. Then doctor says "The patient was unable to *apiliprate* on nitrogen washout for lung volumes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! :)

Abdomen is soft with mild tenderness with negative s/l heel drop, no guarding, no rebound.  Does heel drop make sense on an abdominal exam?

an s/l auto diff revealed neutrophils 61.2%.

TIA

"She is status post mitral valve replacement with 26-mm Cosgrove-*furtoro* annuloplasty ring and *suture plasty* of the anterior leaflet.

1 - s/l Furtoro or Futoro - all I could find was the Cosgrove-Edwards.

2.  I can't see where *suture plasty* is combined into 1 word. Is it ok as shown?

Thanks for any help!

I appreciate your help

Why NOT post test questions here?  Wouldn't this be considered a valid resource if one were working at home?  When I took my test, they said go ahead and use the internet, use whatever you like, do whatever you have to.  All that matters in the long run is that the work you do is correct and of high quality.
