MUSCULOSKELETAL heading?
Subject: MUSCULOSKELETAL heading?

Newbie here. I'm typing an H&P and under instruction to supply appropriate headings & subheadings if they are not dictated, esp. in an H&P.

Under the Physical Examination, the Dr. dictated most headings, but under ABDOMEN, she continued with what I think is more of a musculoskeletal exam:

ABDOMEN: His abdomen is rotund, nontender, nondistended, and soft. He has no costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness to percussion. He has no thoracic tenderness to palpation. His pain begins at approximately L2 down to his sacrum, with pain greater down his right gluteus versus his left, but does have pain. He has slow movement and grimaces with any movement. He is able to stand. Decreased range of motion secondary to pain. Straight-leg reflex painful in both legs. Reflexes are diminished bilaterally.

Here is my question: I cannot find a precedent for adding the MUSCULOSKELETAL subheading. Yet beginning from "His pain" and following is not really under an ABDOMEN exam, is it? At the very least, I feel I should start a new paragraph, but then my format is messed up b/c everything else has a subheading!

Needless to say, it stresses me out a bit. Any advice is definitely appreciated!

H&P exam heading questions
Subject: H&P exam heading questions

doctor is dictating in paragraph form on the PHYSICAL EXAMINATION part sometime subheadings are givenhere it is: His vital signs his pulse is 112, his respirations are 14, his blood pressure is 157/86. His general appearance is he appears quite comfortable, his face is flushed. Non-toxic and no respiratory distress. His neck is supple, he demonstrates full motion of his neck without pain s/l orshe finds tenderness to palpatation. I believe this should be typed this way:  VITAL SIGNS: Pulse is 112, respirations are 14, blood pressure is 157/86. GENERAL APPEARANCE: He appears quite uncomfortable, his face is flushed. Non-toxic and no respiratory distress. NECK: His neck is supple, he demonstrates full range motion of his neck without pain Or she finds tenderness to palpation. I would ask my instructors about these, it seems like every time I get graded each assignment it different.
