Using a question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty sm
BOS says:
Use an ending question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty.

Sometimes, particularly with diagnoses, a question mark is placed before a
statement in order to indicate uncertainty.

Placement either before or after the questionable material is acceptable, but
do not place the question mark both before and after.

Ex:

His cholesterol levels were high normal (or minimally elevated?).

D: Diagnosis: Angina question mark
T: Diagnosis: Angina?
or Diagnosis: ?Angina.
not Diagnosis: ?Angina?

Note: There is no space after the question mark in ?Angina.

improve a patient's nutritional status., but rather do the complete opposite. I think the physician meant to dictate "GI" physician since he/she mentioned the dysphagia in the dictation, which is also a common place for strictures or lesions to develop.

here's what I've always done:

He was given a do-not-resuscitate order.

I think my high school English teacher would prefer it thusly;)

He was given a "do-not-resuscitate" order.

Like Txczech said, sometimes these are bolded and capitalized to alert treating physicians of patients' wishes, similar to allergy statements. Client preference, again.

Unless you know for sure that the client does not have a special order called the Do-Not-Resuscitate Order, lowercase it. (I think this is what you might have been considering.)

Radiology
Subject: Radiology

Have a question I need help with.  I work in a family practice clinic.  Our x-rays are read by a hospital radiologist and transcribed at the hospital.  Perhaps I am a bit anal about this but there is a term that the hospital transcriptionist uses over and over on head CT, cervical spine x-rays - the term is:  Scobi structures??  I cannot find scobi anywhere in my reference material.  Is anyone familiar with that term?  I am thinking more along the lines of skull base structures are normal.  I appreciate your input.  Deb

Subject: radiology

Thanks everyone for replying. I had x-ray tech talk to the radiologist and he is saying skull base structures. Now how to tactfully tell the hospital MT. She is not always open to any corrections. I think I will let the x-ray dept take care of it. Not everyone likes corrections. I definitely want someone to correct me if I am making a mistake so I do not continue to make the same mistakes over and over!

Good morning!  Doc is dictating: 

Her path report comes back with a high grade papillary transitional cell carcinoma invasive into thick muscle bundles suspicious for lymphatic involvement.  Based on a s/l pan son x-ray with the bladder essentially pushed towards the right side of the pelvis, I believe a good amount of this tumor is already extra vesicle.
