Yes, the trend is away from hyphenating words like reevaluation, intraabdominal, etc. I don't care for it, but I would follow your QA's directions in this regard.

Allergies are usually transcribed in all caps, sometimes in bold text, but it varies from account to account.

Penicillin is a generic and should not be capitalized as a general rule, but follow instructions as regards allergies.

Hope this helps!
