p.r.n. at beginning of sentence
Subject: p.r.n. at beginning of sentence
I type on a verbatim account. In the medication list when they dictate p.r.n. Tylenol, for example, I have been typing P.R.N. Tylenol. I cannot verify this in the BOS. Many people type P.r.n. Tylenol, which I think is not proper. What do you think is correct? Thanks.

Subject: How do you write pH at the beginning of a sentence?

Thanks!
