Subject: Cranial nerves

I know that cranial nerves are counted in Roman numerals, II-XII.  When the doctor dictates the number first, though, how do we type it?  7th nerve?  Seventh nerve?  Is there a standard.  I don't have access to the handbook.  Thanks!

Initially BOS dictated that we not use the possessive forms of these names, i.e. Parkinson ds and Alzheimer ds. Now BOS says to transcribe as dictated. This makes it a lot easier for us poor MTs. So, both ways are correct, depending on what was actually dictated.
