He is currently on BiPAP at 14/10 cm of water via a full face mask with heated humidity and no chin strap.  He was decreased from an original pressure of 16/10 secondary to s/l "aerodynia" problems as well as mask leaks.

Thanks

Mental retardation is a medical condition. The doctor is not using the term in a derogatory manner, he is merely describing the patient's condition. You have no right to change this to anything other than what was dictated!

Help with mental status term

"The patient did have difficulty following the procedure.  She had some mental _____ and whether or not this is related to anesthesia or to her severe blood loss is not quite clear but she is doing very well now.  She is pretty sharp.  She is accompanied by her caregiver and seems to ask the appropriate questions."

It is checked...doesn't capitalize after well, site, knee, that, health
Subject: It is checked...doesn't capitalize after well, site, knee, that, health

Sorry to use the word board for this question. I probably should have put it in another forum. Thanks for any suggestions.

If the words well, site, knee, that or health come at the end of a sentence, the next sentence doesn't auto capitalize.

I'll probably just have to very carefully check every sentence throughout the document, since grammar check doesn't want to work properly today. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

I've honestly never heard it abbreviated like that, but I did google *MRCP cerebral palsy* and that's what came up. Given the symptom of hypotonia, it definitely makes me think of cerebral palsy. Was there any sort of mental status testing done (just as a check)?
