Physical exam help?
Subject: Physical exam help?
EXAMINATION: No costovertebral angle tenderness. Abdomen has normal active bowel sounds in all quadrants. It is supple. Extremely tender left upper quadrant and going down not quite into the groin. Difficult to check the (s/l sternal) border because of increased tenderness but the spleen may be mildly enlarged but no distinct masses felt. I am unable to check for rebound or guarding because she is so exquisitely tender with even a very light touch.
ASSESSMENT: Acute left upper quadrant pain.
s/l sternal border? Any help would be great?

Probably just means + (the plus sign), as in positive S1, S2...just means he heard 1st and 2nd heart sounds clearly (as opposed to sounds to distant or obscured by extra sounds). If something was dictated before that, I would put a comma and use the plus sign, i.e., PREVIOUS TEXT, + S1, S2. If nothing precedes it, I would type positive S1, S2. If account wants verbatim, give it to them.

I am wondering if, in the last sentence, where "drop can arc" is dictated . . . would she be referring to three tests/maneuvers such as Drop Arm, Empty Can, and an Arc test, or is it correct as is?
She has excellent range of motion of the shoulder. Good grip strength. Distal pulses and sensation are intact. She can do a full drop can arc.
TIA
