DNR status
Subject: DNR status
In assessment if dictates DNR-how would you transcribe that? I know I have to expand, but would I capitalize it or just leave it do not resuscitate?
Status
Subject: Status
No, I said status means "with." Replace the word "status" with the word "with" since they mean the same thing and then you don't need a comma. :-)
Status
Subject: Status
Maybe you're getting a different vibe from the doc than I would. I would think that he meant decreasing performance in say- his activity level. If he meant decreasing performance status, he would actually be saying "decreasing performance condition." Really doesn't make much sense, even for an ESL, while a lot of them do put the noun before the adjective. :-) Status usually means at the present time where status post means the time afterwards. I wouldn't think he meant "decreasing performance status" meaning the condition of decreasing performance but rather "decreasing performance" with nausea, diarrhea, etc. It doesn't seem necessary for him to add the word "status" after "performance, where "decreasing performance," status, i.e, conditions of nausea, diarrhea, etc. would be necessary. But, the doc's ESL, so who really knows. :-)

Status post
Subject: Status post
I have never seen/used a hyphen either. I guess it also depends upon what the doctor wants. I have one doctor where I use a hyphen in follow-up no matter what, and I know that is not "correct" just they way he wants it.

Performance status
Subject: Performance status
Since the word "status" means "with" the sentence would read, decreasing performance with nausea, diarrhea.... You wouldn't put a comma before with. It would be bad grammar, IMHO. :-)
