1. Go to INSERT, AUTOTEXT (Or ALT, I, A. In autotext you can type “-year-old” and hit okay. For this side you will actually have to type at least 4 letters (i.e. –yea) and the rest of the phrase will pop up and then you hit enter.
2. Or, the one you are hunting is to INSERT and AUTOCORRECT at the top left tab. Go to middle of screen “replace” and “with”. Type ":yo" and then tab over to the With side and type "-year-old". And then enter or "ok". Make sure it is a colon not semicolon.

ALT L with start numbered list lining them up and ALT L will shut it off.
Or start typing without the numbers, returning as needed and then block listings and ALT L.
Or, type 1, tab and type and when you return for #1 it will give you the number. If it indents, back up to the beginning of one of #1 sentences and SHIFT TAB to move it back the margin.

I agree with using periods instead of semicolons to declutter the whole thing.
In the 2nd sentence I would put the comma before "and" as a complete sentence follows = ....during the day, and subsequently,.... In the final sentence = Therefore, one dose of Brethine was administered, and Stadol was given and subsequently it subsided. According to the BOS, you may join closely related sentences without commas. That is why I left out the commas in the final sentence. If you use too many commas, it becomes cluttered.

Medication dosages, QA marking wrong both ways!
Subject: Medication dosages, QA marking wrong both ways!
Good afternoon everyone. I'm in need of some second opinions please. When typing medication dosages, I have always transcribed them the same way for the last 12-1/2 years. For example, Lortab 5 mg q.4h. p.r.n. pain.
I have worked for the same company for a little over two years now and have never had QA say anything about this until last month, when I got a QA audit marking it off and changing it to Lortab 5 mg q. 4h. p.r.n. (with a space between the q. and the 4h.) I thought okay, maybe I've been transcribing it incorrectly all lthis time and a new QA person picked up on it. It happens, no big deal. 
So, I started transcribing it their way with the space, as in q. 4h. and didn't think anything more about it. Yesterday, I get another audit. This time, I get dinged for typing it the way they wanted it the last audit q. 4h. with the space with a note stating it should be q.4h. with no space (the way I had been typing it).
 Now, I know they have been messing with all of the MTs big time lately, making changes daily from everything to hours, pay, policies, and procedures for vacation, days off, etc. You name it, they've been doing it, and I really think they are trying to either find a reason to fire some of us or drive us to the point of insanity until we quit, but despite the games, I still want to make sure I'm doing my job correctly. If I've been doing something wrong, I would like to correct it ASAP, except now I have no idea which one is correct.
Sorry for the long, drawn out post, but I'm totally confused now and beyond frustrated. Now, I'm questioning myself on everything, and I have no idea which way is correct as far the space or no space with the medication dosages. Thank you for taking the time to read my question and rant. I would appreciate any and all opinions on how you all transcribe this!
That is what I thought. When I Google it, I get confused as you can find both ways. Thanks!!
