I know, picky picky but - fundal height in PE

Subject: I know, picky picky but - fundal height in PE

When doing the PE, the doctors usually dictate the fundal height along with the vital signs.  I was always taught in the hospitals where I worked that fundal height went along with the abdominal exam.  Thoughts?


TIA (yes, I probably am having a stroke from working for MQ - ha ha, but I truly mean thanks in advance).

It sounds like the doctor is saying mandibular "villar" height but I cannot find this on google.  Anyone know if that's correct?  Thanks!
Proper way to type height measurements
Subject: Proper way to type height measurements

What is the correct way to type height measurements.  For example, doctor says "5 foot 1 inch".  Normally when the number is pleural, it should be "feet", but the doctors always say "foot".  Also, is there a comma between the foot and inches.  Such as, "5 foot, 1 inch"?  TIA

I was taught to always type 5 feet 1 inch. Is that not the standard?
