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).

Subject: Answer!

Don't know about BOS, but leukocyte esterase is just a test for an enzyme that might indicate a uti...so in my experience, it's either a positive or negative result. If he gives you actual numbers or ranges (10-20), then he's talking about actual white blood cells (leukocytes).

At least that's my understanding.

Hope that helps!

If you cannot find it in the BOS, then chances are it does not matter.....unless the client profile specifically says not to abbreviate it should be OK.......


Answer
Subject: Answer

There is NO hyphen in followup. It is either one word or two words.

Verb is follow up. (The patient will follow up with me).

Noun is followup. (The patient will be seen in followup in 1 week).

Hope that helps! Never use a hyphen with followup.

also sometimes in just reading the board.....the one-word answers to a newbie I think might seem a little curt...so I like to help and give a little extra even though NOBODY taught me a thing about transcription, had to learn everything on my own back in the decades pre-computers.  *LOL* - so it's nice for me to read a more complete response to somebody....which is why I sometimes, au occasion, do go the extra mile to explain, especially since for years I, myself, thought that Mohs was MOHS....until just a couple of years ago.....
