Question about how to type a drug

I have a friend who QA person told she did not type out right and should read: "q.6.h. According to their guideline book that we have the book says q.6h. Book shows no period between 6 and h. Also found another discrepancy in the word gram. One page says type "g" and the other page has it spelled out in a drug list. I always type it "g". If I was my coworker I would question this especially since it has it two different ways in their book. They are using Book of Style. I have sent a message asking them to explain this one. How would anyone else type it? Thanks

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!
