Subject: I have sticky notes everywhere with different stages, grades, etc. sm
I think I used to think most stages were roman numerals and most grades were arabic but there are way too many exceptions so I try to figure out which one it is for each specific instance and then write it on my growing list. BOS says types are arabic, roman numerals, or capital letters depending on type referred to. I WISH there was a website with all of the different stages, grades, types, etc. listed. Does anyone know of such a thing??

hypertension stages
Subject: hypertension stages
Hi,
Anyone know if stages of hypertension are now to be noted with Arabic numerals? I have always been taught that they are to be in Roman numeral form. If you have the answer to this, please send me the reference as well, as I haven't been able to find this in any of my medical term books/references. Even my Stedman's Cardiology book doesn't have information on this as far as I've been able to find. Thanks so much for any help!

only for cancer the majority of the time. There are some exceptions, but the majority of the time it is roman numerals. For example, kidney disease is arabic, fractures are arabic. If it is not associated with cancer then it is more than likely arabic. You can always look it up and tell which is which, which is BOS2 suggests.

Subject: op notes
I have never encountered such a rule. I don't generally listen to where the dictators want their paragraphs, though. They usually put in way too many. I start a new paragraph after the prep and drape description and a I start a new paragraph for the closing of the wounds. I add new paragraphs when the surgeon is addressing a new area. That's just my style of transcribing. I'm not saying it's the right way to do it. It just makes sense to me and I would think it is easier to read and comprehend that way.
