drug dosing

What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.


ex. metformin 875 mg


When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?


Drug dosing q.4h.
Subject: Drug dosing q.4h.

What is the latest AAMT BOS standard for drug dosing such as "q.4h."  I thought I heard that it was changing to "q.4 h. or q. 4h."  Can someone clarify this for me?  Thanks!


Medication dosing
Subject: Medication dosing

If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone.  I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day.  Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility?  Thanks!

This can be very crippling disease.  I have a friend who is only 33 and cannot even scratch her own nose.  She cannot turn over in bed or do anything for herself.  It is a progressive illness.  When she was little, she could walk and do everything a normal child could and by the time she was a teenager she was in a wheelchair.  Now she is completely disabled.

The HIDA scan showed a normal ejection fraction of 60 percent. The gallbladder study showed a tiny gallbladder polyp but no stone or sludge. There was necrogenic density in the right lobe of the liver thought to represent hemangioma. There was also moderate gastric distention with concern about possible gastroparesis or outlet obstruction. EGD would therefore be recommended

This is from aamt.org regarding the CMT exam.  The CMT exam is taken in a testing center; therefore, there will be no internet access available, i.e., no chance of asking test questions at MTStars during the exam .

May I bring my own reference materials?
Reference materials are not allowed in the testing center, and none will be provided. Electronic aids such as spellcheckers and abbreviation expanders will not be permitted. One of the consequences of using secure testing centers is the elimination of reference materials. However, the exam has been designed so that a level 2 medical transcriptionist (as defined in AAMT’s "MT Job Descriptions") can pass using their critical thinking and problem solving skills and without using any reference materials.


Do I need to find my own proctor?
No. The new exam is being delivered at proctored testing centers.


That is all the info I have about it. Thank you
