mcg is preferred as the other
Subject: mcg is preferred as the other
symbol is on the "additional" list of dangerous abbreviations, for possible future inclusion. Most clients prefer mcg, but you would want to check that with your client profile.
As for liter, if using liter without a prefix, I do not abbreviate it. My clients prefer it written out. When using as in milliter, my clients' preference is mL (it's much easier to recognize).
But these are things you should definitely verify with your client profile.
mL is preferred...sm
Subject: mL is preferred...sm
Both "cc" and "mL" are equivalent, but in medical literature "mL" is now preferred. JCAHO also has "cc" on its list of "dangerous abbreviations" because when written poorly it can be misconstrued as "U" (less of an issue for typed records). The mL vs. cc preference can be client/account specific. But I humbly disagree with your mentor. I've *never* heard of mL for intake and cc for output. I believe usage should be consistent throughout depending on client preference. just my 2 cents....

Abbreviation preferred by
Subject: Abbreviation preferred by
AAMT Book of Style, 2nd Edition, p. 217.
If we transcribe a numeral for the dose, it is best to use the abbreviation.
If you wanted to spell it out (like if it started a sentence), it is acceptable to use the word itself. One gram of Ancef IV was administered prior to the procedure. but The patient was administered 1 g of Ancef IV prior to the procedure.
Best to check with your supervisor or account transcription guidelines to see which method they prefer, but I figured the BOS standpoint might be helpful. Happy Holidays!

My Stedman's ortho book has main listing "tendinitis" with subentries under this spelling. It also has "tendonitis" as a "variant of tendinitis" with no subentries. As backup I checked Vera Pyle and the entry in the silver book is as follows:
tendinitis - not tendonitis (her italics)

and if you want to continue your investigation, if you delete the header on page 2, it will still carry over to page 3, so you have to delete on all subsequent pages. Personally, I really dislike that feature. I do not have an answer for that one. It is a formatting question and perhaps someone else with more formatting knowledge might help you. good luck.
