Subject: Difference between Morse and Morris taper.

A Morse-taper is used to achieve fixation between the two components (Wright Medical).

The Morris taper prosthetic neck, as the name implies, this extractor was developed to remove femoral stems, which
have differing sizes of femoral neck tapers (Wheeless Ortho online).

Subject: difference between abbreviation and

When in doubt, I refer to Stedman's Abbreviation book.  For example, I have always hated typing "afib" for atrial fibrillation, so I looked it up.  In this book, the proper way to abbreviate it is AFib.  As far as cc versus mL, that is a Joint Commission requirement, not a BOS issue.  Another example is sed rate.  There is no approved abbreviation that sounds like sed rate, but the book shows sed rt, which is something I wouldn't use.  Sed is truncated, not abbreviated, so I expand to sedimentation rate.


I work for 2 companies with slightly different approaches to a couple of BOS issues, both being very reputable MTSOs, so I have to keep them straight in my head.  One wants me to use platelets if that is what is said in the CBC dictation; the other wants me to use platelet count.


You will have to decide what path you need to take.

Or are they the same thing?  Dictator says that the infant is gradually weaned from pressure OR pressor support and transferred to p.o. medications.  The infant has congestive heart failure. 

 

The dictator has a very strong accent which makes it even more difficult... he could be saying either.  Thanks for any help!
