psychiatric terminology question

Dictated as, "Her thought process was linear, logical, and goal directed," or should it be "Her thought process was linear logical and goal directed"?  Since I am unsure, I googled the key words and hit a dead end; that is, never figured out if it is "linear logical" or "linear, logical." 

TIA for advice!!!

I can't seem to locate this facility.  The pt is from Californiai and has been in Riverview Psychiatric Unit, St. Francis Psychiatric Unit, and Loma Linda Medical Center. 

Just can't find the "Enbalsta, Enbalston, anbolston, inbalston" place. 

Any help? 

Objective: Thought process within normal limits.  No s/l SIH or psychosis. 

Does anyone know of this (or a close) psychiatric abbreviation?

Thanks.

I am working on a psychiatric progress note and he says ... "Our plan at this time is to increase the ~foquan or zoquan~ to 20 milligrams a day"  This doesn't sound familiar to me and didn't know if it may be new or if someone can offer any help.  Thanks in advance.

Capitalize verbal, performance, and full-scale?  Should I leave the subtest scores in a vertical list arrangement or use a different format?

On this administration of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III, Mr. ___ obtained a verbal IQ of 57 (range 53-63), a performance IQ of 64 (range 59-73), and a full-scale IQ of 56 (range 53-61). These scores fall within the mild range of mental deficiency.

The following scatter of subtest scores was obtained:
VERBAL:
Vocabulary: 2
Similarity: 3
Arithmetic: 2
Digit Span: 3
Information: 3
Comprehension: 2

PERFORMANCE:

All the scores above fall within the mentally deficient range and are relatively even.

It is listed in the Assessment portion of the dictation, and the preceeding text gives no indication as to what this could be.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Things like "Release activation with the HIS and all conduction was concentric," and ""pacing drive trains" are foreign to me.

Can anyone point me to an online source which specializes in EP terminology?

Thanks.

You either were taught wrong or misunderstood what your instructor was trying to tell you.

Try your theory of "any combining form can be put with anything" out here. You will not find cardiovascularity.

Hi, I'm writing a H&P for work and I need help!! The paitent is having ankle pain,

There is really no bony tenderness to the medial or lateral myleal(??) line. What "line" is this in the foot? Sounds like meleal/mylea line? Any help would be greatly appreicated!

in terms of titrating CPAP pressure.  Maybe you can get the word titrate or titration in there.  Maybe it's just a misspeak and he means as the pressure of CPAP went up. 

I need a good website for GYN surgical instruments--Hulka Cannula? Found Hulka clip, but not cannula?
