Proper way to type height measurements
Subject: Proper way to type height measurements
What is the correct way to type height measurements. For example, doctor says "5 foot 1 inch". Normally when the number is pleural, it should be "feet", but the doctors always say "foot". Also, is there a comma between the foot and inches. Such as, "5 foot, 1 inch"? TIA

I know, picky picky but - fundal height in PE
Subject: I know, picky picky but - fundal height in PE
When doing the PE, the doctors usually dictate the fundal height along with the vital signs. I was always taught in the hospitals where I worked that fundal height went along with the abdominal exam. Thoughts?
TIA (yes, I probably am having a stroke from working for MQ - ha ha, but I truly mean thanks in advance).
