Drug search by classification
Subject: Drug search by classification

I'm back in acute care, and until the new Sauder's drug book comes out next month, are there any sites to look up drugs by category? I just want to put in a key word like "antibiotic" and have a list of them pop up. Ideally it would say what they were used for.

Surely there is such a thing as that?
mucocysteine is a drug classification
Subject: mucocysteine is a drug classification

is a mix up of saying Mucomyst and acetylcysteine
(Mucomyst is N-acetylcysteine). I could not document a US classification; only in Canada. The rest of the statement should be 100 mg per meter squared written as

100 mg/m2

I would suggest leaving a blank if you cannot document.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps!
