Thanks for your reply. I understand what you're saying, but I'm confused as to why this was marked as an incorrect term when there is an instrument called a nasolaryngoscope (Stedman's Med & Surg Equip Words) and the procedure was examination of the larynx via a scope entering through the nose.

Just had a doc use the word "averbal", meaning not speaking. I could not verify this word anywhere. Found reference in archives here and someone said to Google "averbal definition", which I did. Could not find any reference to this word. Should I leave it as dictated, or change it to "nonverbal"? TIA!
