TIME SEEN:
0600 hours.

Subject: on my account can only type PRN, no periods. sm
Everything can't come from the BOS. Some things we do have to 'wing it' so to speak. I have a verbatim account and can only type PRN, no periods, all caps, so that's how it would be done. P.r.n. Tylenol doesn't look right, so I would have to put it PRN Tylenol.

normal said. For example, if it says "breasts are soft and pendulous", you might want to leave that out. Men generally don't have pendulous breasts, not even ones with gynecomastia. If it simply refers to the fact that there are no masses or nipple discharge, I would probably leave it in.
If you're still unsure, you can always flag it and find out for future reference.

The account I type is "almost verbatim". We type subcu, but in the lab values we have to expand the workds (alkaline phosphatase, et cetera). If a word is dictated that is not a known abbreviation, we have to type it out. I think each account is different, and as the other poster said, they should have given you an client form so that you would know what the hospital expects. Sounds like your guy kinda got his tail in a crack and felt like he needed to unload on a poor, innocent MT who was just trying to do her job! Hang in there!  W'e're cheering for you!

Subject: Does your account use the BOS 2?
That's the source of the "Don't capitalize it when it stands alone" rule. My suggestion would be to follow BOS if your account uses that and to be consistent. Stedman's is (are?) notorious for inconsistency with this sort of thing.

Go with what your QA tells you. It may be acceptable but the doctor may not like/want it done that way. I've found every account has different rules and preferences.

If not, it would make more sense like this:
It would help beneficial organisms AND commensals bacteria colonize his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
If not, then I would type:
It would help beneficial organisms, commensals bacteria colonozie his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
Since they want the beneficial bacteria and commensals bacteria to colonize his colon, there is no need for a comma before colonize.
