dangerous abbreviation and should be "nightly." qam is q.a.m. "q" is never to be used by itself as it also is a "dangerous abbreviation."

Is there another medication abbreviated "dig"
Subject: Is there another medication abbreviated "dig"
I know Digoxin. But in the report she says "dig" then a couple later she says Digoxin. Wondered if there was another med that would be abbreviated "dig", or maybe she just made an oversight not realizing she already said it.

Gee, ya think? You should see some of the stuff
I don't know who they got working there sometimes. So much conflicting stuff it's unreal. I call them on it every time though and send it to my super. It's hard enough without the conflicting feedback.
Example:
Dictator said HPI (for a heading), so I typed it HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS. I get QA feedback that says, "If the dictator dictates the header as HPI, type it in as HPI." So I'm like okey dokey.Next time I get HPI I do just that. Then I get a nasty note. NEVER, EVER abbreviate in the headers, always spell it out. I'm like geeesh!
One told me to type out 2:00 O'clock (for position, i.e., cornea).
