Homemaking retraining programs may also be warranted in which education and training are provided regarding pacing, work simplification, proper body mechanics and use of assistive devices (if necessary), to facilitate return to pre-accident homemaking activities

Help! Abbreviation question
Subject: Help! Abbreviation question
When a doctor refers to the cervical spine in a report as a c-spine, should it be expanded or should it be left alone (not in diagnosis), and should the "c" be capitalized or lowercase? I have researched and I am seeing it both ways.
Also, does a physician place a patient "on a cervical collar" or "in a cervical collar"? Physician states "on" which makes sense, like they are placing them on a medication, but it just looks weird.
