How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
Subject: How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm

I have been typing: Deep tendon reflexes +2/+2. Does that seem correct?

For half plus tenderness of abdomen, I have been typing: Abdomen with ½+ tenderness. I make sure it changes from 1/2+ to ½+ so that it doesn't look like one over two plus. Does this seem right?

Thanks.
