 Here is the question - how do you type the word "stat" meaning immediately? Its a latin derivitive like n.p.o. , p.r.n. etc, and those are typed in lower case with periods. So would it be "stat." I have also seen it typed STAT with no period. I can't find it anywhere to back up my choice. Any ideas??? Or where to look?? Sue

Hi, Newbie!
Guess they haven't taught you about homonyms yet. Sight, site, and cite are a good example of them. The correct one is site (location).
Also try ophthalmology specialty book, Surgical Word Book, and whatever hospital you're working for does have a list of the instruments used. I used to call Sterile Supply directly (in a former lifetime when we worked in hospitals) and then check their spelling.
Good luck.
