Blood type

Subject: Blood type

The doctor dictated such: The patient was typed and close-matched for surgery with a blood type of O plus.


Does close-matched sound right ( I'm not even sure if that's hyphenated) and do I use O+  or O positive? Thank you!

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps!
