Subject: Standard exam?

Standard exam:  His TMs are clear.  Nasal mucosa shows some erythema and edema.


I keep hearing "standard exam" in front of some subcategories under physical exam, would this be accurate. Thanks.

Subject: New standard states:

And I quote: "Numerals, or figures, stand out from the surrounding text and serve a functional purpose in medical reports, where they should be used almost exclusively as opposed to spelled-out numbers.

Exceptions: Judgment and discretion are need when deciding but adjacent numbers require one to be spelled out to avoid confusion.

Use a comma to separate adjacent unrelated numerals if neither can be readily expressed in words and the sentence cannot be readily reworded.

Use numerals for fractions.

Spell out numbers that begin a sentence.

Zero is always spelled out when it stands alone.

Spell out numbers used as pronouns.

That should get you started!
