Pack-a-day smoker versus pack-per-day smoker.
Subject: Pack-a-day smoker versus pack-per-day smoker.
It would be either "He is a two-pack-a-day smoker" or "He is a two-pack-per-day smoker.
If doc dictates "a" use that; if "per" go with that. That's what I do anyway. It makes life simpler that way. :)

pack years
Subject: pack years
Personally, I would not hyphenate that he smoked for 120 packs years as you state it, as there is no adjective describing a noun. On the other hand, I would hyphenate if he has a 120-pack-year history of smoking, because that is a triple adjective describing a noun.

New to typing labs. Does this look correct:
UA reveals 2+ ketones, greater than 1.030 specific gravity, 0 glucose. Micro reveals 0 to 1 WBCs, 1 to 2 RBC, rare bacteria, 2 to 4 epithelials with 1+ s/l muc (she may cut off at end, hard to tell).
Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
LABS
Subject: LABS
I've always found it helpful to have a lab sheet in front of me when doing these. You know, the actual printed form that docs check off when they send patient for tests? They usually dictate right from the results sheet and the tests are in alphabetical order within groupings. If your dictator can't supply one, just get one from your own doc -- they're pretty much the same from one lab to the next. I'm still using one I got from a hospital lab back in the Dark Ages when we worked in hospitals.

I'm not sure if it should be a period or comma between all these labs. My first guess is commas, except maybe a period after hematocrit. ?
Sodium is 120, potassium is 4.3, CO2 is 24, calcium 6.7, hemoglobin 11.8, hematocrit 31.3, white count is 11,500, platelet count 99,000.
thanks!
