IV fluids..?
Subject: IV fluids..?

IV fluids -- sm
Subject: IV fluids -- sm

How would you write the following:


1.  "placed on D5 and a 1/2-normal saline at maintenance and a quarter."


2.  and then later she says:  "IV fluids, D5 and a 1/2 with 20 of KCl per liter"


These fractions confuse me.  I assume the 1/2 goes with the normal saline in the first instance and maybe the "normal saline" is implied in the second instance, but how do I express these fractions?  Did I do the "quarter" right in the first instance?

How about intravenous fluids were or was administered as in normal saline?

starting as independent contractor/need help!
Subject: starting as independent contractor/need help!

I'm going to be able to return to work very part time since my disability is getting a bit better.  I have an offer to work as an independent contractor, probably not making more than 12 grand per year.


This will be my first time being a contractor and I'm boggled after reading the IRS info on the site.  Do I need to file for a taxpayer ID# or can I just use my Social Security number?  I think I can wade through paying the taxes, etc, but may have an accountant do this initially.


Thank's in advance, Becca.
