Expand LVH
Subject: Expand LVH
Not sure whether to expand LVH in assessment. It does not appear expanded elsewhere in report. Left ventricular hypertrophy or left ventricular hyperplasia?? Leave as is?

the report, I wouldn't waste time over it. If you need to know, ask your supervisor to find out for you.
how do you expand L5-S1 in a DS?
Subject: how do you expand L5-S1 in a DS?
How would you expand this sentence in the Diagnosis section of a Discharge Summary.
Do I replace L5-S1 with lumbosacral joint?
My account gives examples that we should expand "Fracture, L2" out to "Fracture, second lumbar" .... so that is why I'm thinking I need to expand the L5-S1...
DIAGNOSES:
1. Right-sided L5-S1 herniated nucleus pulposus.
I never expand
Subject: I never expand
Because abbreviations can mean so many things, I never expand abbreviations even in a diagnosis. Our hospital determined it is the dictators job to edit before signing if they want it expanded.
expand HPI?
Subject: expand HPI?
Forgive my newbiness (that WILL become a word someday, I'm sure of it!) that will clearly be seen in this question!
When the doctor dictates "as stated in the HPI" , should I expand that to History of Present Illness - with those caps in place or only capitalizing the H?
Thanks!
should expand
Subject: should expand
I'm told to expand all those that are not common. (How gloriously vague!) Seems to me that "HPI" is pretty common. But I think I'll go ahead and expand.
So should I capitalize all of it?

Client profile dictates whether or not to give this dictator mets or metastasis.....his saying *met* was wrong. I would've given him *mets* unless the client profile allows expanding of words, and in that case I would've given them *metastasis*
I would expand all as you stated...
Subject: I would expand all as you stated...
I am not on a verbatim account and I do expand those types of abbreviations, but I would be interested in hearing others' opinions as well.
By the way, why are you "dubious"? Just curious!
I wouldn't expand it.

Considering the context in which IV is used, it is its own entity. I would leave it as is.
