Subject: gram-negative, lactose-negative rods is correct. I found a couple of interesting websites SM

after doing a google search for gram-negative, lactose-negative rods.  Basically testing organisms to see if they ferment lactose (positive) or not (negative).


Also, just FYI, gram-negative is not capitalized.


Probably too late, I'm sure.  Better late than never, I guess.

Example


Orders read give "gr X" (grains 10) Tylenol® q 4-6° prn.  How many milligrams of acetaminophen do you give?


Answer:  You don't give any.  Many facilities consider the use of grains archaic and a source of medical errors.  Depending on the source, 5 grains can equal 300-325 mg.  Now consider many medications are measured and given in hundredths of milligrams: the difference of 25 mg could have disastrous consequences.  The best solution is to have the doctor rewrite the order in milligrams.


For educational purposes this calculator considers 1 grain = 64.8 milligrams however the National Weights & Measures Laboratory considers 1 grain = 64.79891 milligrams.  My nursing text book vacillates between 1 grain = 60-64 milligrams.  If you were to solve this problem using this calculator the answer would be 648 milligrams (roughly 2 plain acetaminophen tablets).

This piqued my interest and I googled "beetle nuts" with mouth cancer.  Turns out there really is a connection.  Apparently it's a leading cause of mouth cancer in Taiwan, where I guess they chew on a lot of beetle nuts.  Hmm, you learn something new every day!

Subject: Another interesting term is distention. (sm)

There are 2 spellings for distention, but the medical references say spell it as above, not the alternate spelling - distension. I see that a lot of MTs have not noticed that one, either.

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:

* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.

The doctor's really could care less what is written BOS.  They are interested in quality work.  It is funny how some companies and transcriptionists breath/live it.  I am sure there are some doctors out there who are counting every key stroke but most just want to practice medicine.  btw....still spacing twice after periods also.....so much for the BOS.....it just doesn't have a whole lot of power these days.
