Pain scale in leukemia patients
Subject: Pain scale in leukemia patients

Hi,

Is there a pain scale that is commonly referred to for leukemia patients? I'm doing a clinic note on a patient, and in the PE section, I hear something that sounds like ecot 0 (zero). The first thing that pops into my head is Ficat, but I don't think that's what it would be. I often hear doctors mention the pain scale rating right along with the vital signs, and that's where this is dictated. I'm googling and researching this, but I'm not even sure where to look. Any suggestions?

1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy
Subject: 1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy

You heard it right. It is "1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy."

It basically means the patient received 1.2 mg of a particular chemotherapeutic agent (which would be "specific" to her malignancy and which would be documented in her medical record/chart), mixed in 12 ml of a solvent which could be normal saline/dextrose water/or others, so that that particular chemotherapeutic agent that she is on, can be administered to her in the form of an injection.
