Docs mispronounce words all the time.   99% of my docs say Perm-a-Cath, but it is PermCath.    Docs spell things and spell them wrong all the time.  One of our jobs as MTs is to know enough to know doc is saying/spelling something incorrectly and correct it.

Subject: No, I do not have any reference books with the word "supertherapeutic" listed. (sm)

Stedman's electronic dictionary gives the definition of the prefix "super" as: In excess, above...

Webster's dictionary gives the definition of the prefix "super" as: over and above; higher in quantity.

Pharmaceutical documents use the term "supertherapeutic" doses.

Primary care physicians frequently perform lumbar puncture, because cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an invaluable diagnostic window to the central nervous system (CNS). Commonly performed tests on CSF include protein and glucose levels, cell counts and differential, microscopic examination, and culture. Additional tests such as opening pressure, 'SUPERNATANT COLOR', latex agglutination, and polymerase chain reaction also may be performed. Knowing which tests to order and how to interpret them allows physicians to use CSF as a key diagnostic tool in a variety of diseases.

What was wrong with the correct answer you got
on MTChat? By the way, are all these questions you're posting on every MT board you can find from your coursework or a test? They certainly have the appearance of school or test questions. Remember, employers read these boards, too. They can figure out which of their applicants is cheating.

Example


Orders read give "gr X" (grains 10) Tylenol® q 4-6° prn.  How many milligrams of acetaminophen do you give?


Answer:  You don't give any.  Many facilities consider the use of grains archaic and a source of medical errors.  Depending on the source, 5 grains can equal 300-325 mg.  Now consider many medications are measured and given in hundredths of milligrams: the difference of 25 mg could have disastrous consequences.  The best solution is to have the doctor rewrite the order in milligrams.


For educational purposes this calculator considers 1 grain = 64.8 milligrams however the National Weights & Measures Laboratory considers 1 grain = 64.79891 milligrams.  My nursing text book vacillates between 1 grain = 60-64 milligrams.  If you were to solve this problem using this calculator the answer would be 648 milligrams (roughly 2 plain acetaminophen tablets).
