RE: "She did not ask that.
Why don't you answer simply:
The first option is the right one."

***I believe it's better to explain how a thing is derived rather than to simply give an answer, because that way there's a better chance the person can apply the information to a new situation.

"Furthermore, if you add an
'and', THEN you have to enter a comma"

***No.

***WARNING*** Explanation below -- Not just an "answer"!

If "Explanations" cause you extreme discomfort or confusion, do not read further!

The comma rules are based on the structure of a sentence and word order rather than on specific words, so there is not a rule for "as well as."

For instance, if "as well as" is used for an introductory adverb phrase or clause, there would be a comma after that word group because it is out of normal word order:

'As well as I have played, I still cannot score a par round of golf.'

If the phrase or clause is at the end of a sentence, there is no comma because this is normal word order:

'We wanted to find a good tour to take as well as a nice place to have dinner.'

**
Now, the next time you have a problem with the way I explain something, don't be so snippy. No one who is simply trying to help another person should have to deal with someone who needs an attitude adjustment, but then, I suppose no good deed goes unpunished...Just ask nicely & I will be happy to explain. Or deconstruct, as appropriate.

the answer was lost. The "q" by itself is a dangerous abbrevision. Refer it to your supervisor as apparently the QA person does know this and, if nothing else, for clarification if they want you to use it.

On the psych evaluations I get, and this is probably account specific, but we show these as headings. Not that it is required, but the dictators really seem to prefer that type of formatting. There is even one who asks for many of these same terms (including things like "he had an Full Scaled Score of..." within the body of her text. So, I always just capitalize or put things in ALL caps when she says to.

Big ditto on siren's post. Even if you could please EMAIL me, would really like to know where you work and for what facility. I LOVE psych work and both my major primaries which were ALL psych work were lost to other companies (left the one I am at) and I miss it. Glad to help though and see above post on your blank before status! Bye!

It's hard to judge these things without hearing them - I went with what was closest to the sentence provided. While the patient could have been "dyspneic-looking like a patient with COPD or sleep apnea," that just didn't sit right with my gut.

Subject: Excuse me, but where above posted

by the administrator??? I am giving my point of view and no I am not repeating anything. I am saying it differently and it cannot hurt. Is it okay for posters to give WRONG ANSWERS? why are you not telling them enough already and give it a rest???

How come when you see the same answer on the help board over and over again, why are you not piping in telling them they are giving redundant anwers?

This subject must have hit a nerve with you.

I will not give anything a rest. Thank you. Have a nice day.
