    With words that indicate portions—percent, fraction, part, majority, some, all, none, remainder, and so forth —look at the noun in your of phrase (object of the preposition) to determine whether to use a singular or plural verb. If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.

    Examples: Fifty percent of the pie has disappeared.
    Pie is the object of the preposition of.
    Fifty percent of the pies have disappeared.
    Pies is the object of the preposition.
    One-third of the city is unemployed.
    One-third of the people are unemployed.

    NOTE: Hyphenate all spelled-out fractions.

    Some of the pie is missing.

    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!
