mcg is preferred as the other
Subject: mcg is preferred as the other
symbol is on the "additional" list of dangerous abbreviations, for possible future inclusion. Most clients prefer mcg, but you would want to check that with your client profile.
As for liter, if using liter without a prefix, I do not abbreviate it. My clients prefer it written out. When using as in milliter, my clients' preference is mL (it's much easier to recognize).
But these are things you should definitely verify with your client profile.
mL is preferred...sm
Subject: mL is preferred...sm
Both "cc" and "mL" are equivalent, but in medical literature "mL" is now preferred. JCAHO also has "cc" on its list of "dangerous abbreviations" because when written poorly it can be misconstrued as "U" (less of an issue for typed records). The mL vs. cc preference can be client/account specific. But I humbly disagree with your mentor. I've *never* heard of mL for intake and cc for output. I believe usage should be consistent throughout depending on client preference. just my 2 cents....

Subject: per AAMT, it is preferred to
edit to read "x-ray again" as opposed to re-x-ray, but definitely not rex-ray or re-xray.
Abbreviation preferred by
Subject: Abbreviation preferred by
AAMT Book of Style, 2nd Edition, p. 217.
If we transcribe a numeral for the dose, it is best to use the abbreviation.
If you wanted to spell it out (like if it started a sentence), it is acceptable to use the word itself. One gram of Ancef IV was administered prior to the procedure. but The patient was administered 1 g of Ancef IV prior to the procedure.
Best to check with your supervisor or account transcription guidelines to see which method they prefer, but I figured the BOS standpoint might be helpful. Happy Holidays!

Subject: I would think tendinitis is preferred
My Stedman's ortho book has main listing "tendinitis" with subentries under this spelling. It also has "tendonitis" as a "variant of tendinitis" with no subentries. As backup I checked Vera Pyle and the entry in the silver book is as follows:
tendinitis - not tendonitis (her italics)
