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!

I would make just a few changes -
Subject: I would make just a few changes -

If you're asking whether the sentences look right, most of it looks okay to me, but at the very least, I'd suggest the following changes:

1. BioMed AGC anatomic femoral component, 60 mm, left.

2. BioMed all-poly patellar button, three-post, 34 mm diameter. (you might be able to expand all-polyethylene if okay with account specs).

3. Biomet DCN AGC molded tibial component, interlock finish, posterior stabilized, 12 mm thick x 65 mm wide.


Someone else may do it differently, but this is how I would type it.

BTW, did you mean BioMed on #3, or is it actually Biomet in this case?

Certainly, if there is any kind of stricture or lesion that might improve his nutritional status, this certainly could lead to his improved comfort and increased survival.


The pt has dysphagia and has lost weight, so doc is sending him to an ENT physician.
