How do you type q. hour of sleep?
q. hour of sleep
Subject: q. hour of sleep

I e-mailed AAMT with this same question about a month ago.  Their response to me was as follows:


"He may be dictating "hour of sleep" because he expects you to use the abbreviation h.s. However, this particular abbreviation is on the Dangerous Abbreviations List, and we are encouraged to transcribe this as either "nightly" or "at bedtime." If the dictator questions you about this, you can show him the appendix in your Book of Style or refer him to the Dangerous Abbreviations List under Patient Safety Goals on the JCAHO web site (www.jcaho.org)."

Regarding letter h (hour) per BOS...please sm

Letter h. (with a period) is the abbreviation for the Latin word hora, meaning hour.


q.6 h. (every 6 hours)


In instructions for medications, Latin abbreviations may be coupled with English terms, such as hour. These may be transcribed as dictated or the English translated to Latin.


every 4 hours or q.4 hours or q.4 h or q.4 h Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription.  So does this mean we can do the q.4 h without the period at the end of h, because I am constantly having to remove capital letters from words following the h with a period.  Thanks.

This is for a patient brought into emergency after a roll over motor vehicle accident. He has a subdural hematoma and the RN states he was given what sounds like "row checks" every hour.  I am not familiar with ER procedures- can anyone interpret this for me?

I am sure you get tired of helping "stupid" people, with "stupid" questions, but it was very early in the morning and I just did not use my head before I posted. I will be sure to look before asking anything again. Have a good day.
