Every client is different, though. Do you have account specific instructions you could search to find out how they want it typed?

I did check a fasting lipid profile on her today and a chem 18.


She has hypothyroidism, metabolic syndrome, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. Any clues?


chem-18
Subject: chem-18

It's a chemistry panel.  There's also chem-7, chem-14, and chem-20, probably others.  For instance, the chem-14 is the CMP and does 14 chemistries:  glucose, calcium, albumin, total protein,  sodium, potassium, etc.  I don't know offhand what all is in the chem-18. 
Chem-7
Subject: Chem-7

Good Question!

I use Chem-7 because this test is the same as SMA-7, and I find the SMA tests listed with hyphens in Stedman's Abbreviations, Acronyms, & Symbols.

I would think that any of the 3 ways would probably be okay to use unless your client/employer has a preference.

My question is, is nurse practitioner capitalized in either sentence? Since this isn't a verbatim account i know i can insert 'the' before nurse according to the AAMT and call it good but i'd like to know what others think!

Subject: caps lock

This happens to me often and at random.  Sometimes if I have my email up at the same time I'm working, if I close it, or exit the web entirely the problem may resolve.  Other times I've exited my word document and the problem resolves...sometimes not.  Sometimes I've had to reboot...sometimes the problem resolves and sometimes not.  It's still a mystery to me.
