drug dosing
What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.
ex. metformin 875 mg
When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?
Drug dosing q.4h.

Medication dosing
Subject: Medication dosing
If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone. I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day. Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility? Thanks!

This is an ENT doc who always pronounces things just as they are spelled regardless of the way it should be pronounced. Anyone have any ideas on what this would be?
Thanks so much

hyphens
Subject: hyphens
And, when I first started out so many years ago our motto was "when in doubt hyphenate" and it was so long ago it had to be incorrect.

My QA only allows 3- to 4-mm effusion. So I don't know what to tell her.

Subject: Hyphens
I am a QA specialist and I am starting to see a trend away from hyphenating African-American male/female, etc. Does anyone know if there is a new official rule for this that can be referenced? Just what we need, another change. 
Hyphens
Subject: Hyphens
We were told not to use hyphens with African-American, Latin-American, etc. any longer.
hyphens
Subject: hyphens
African-American, 32-year-old, bright-red-blood, any hard and fast rules on these?
Hyphens
Subject: Hyphens
Thanks:)
hyphens
Subject: hyphens
It's a simple rule of English concerning compound adjectives. From The New St. Martin's Handbook (of English usage), "Often you will use adjectives made up of word combinations that are not listed in the dictationary. The guiding principle then is to hyphenate most compound adjectives that precede a noun but not those that follow a noun." Thus "5-French catheter" but "upsized to 5 French."

"Non-ill" is not a word. No hyphens necessary here. Change to: Not ill appearing.

post-arthroscopic surgery or post-arthroscopic-surgery? TIA?

Subject: hyphens
The patient is 12 days post-arthroscopic surgery or the patient is 12 days post-arthroscopic-surgery. Thanks again!
hyphens
Subject: hyphens
Thanks, but I thought "post" in the medical realm is a prefix and should be attached with a hyphen I guess.

Thank. This helps a lot :)

Subject: hyphens
This is great! What is it from?
hyphens
Subject: hyphens
In regards to "hyphens" below, it states words with prefixes such as non, mid, et cetera, do not need a hyphen. Is it still acceptable if my spellchecker redlines the word? For example: midarch or noncontact. These are terms that come up often for me. TIA.
