Subject: I know, picky picky but - fundal height in PE

When doing the PE, the doctors usually dictate the fundal height along with the vital signs. I was always taught in the hospitals where I worked that fundal height went along with the abdominal exam. Thoughts?

I work in a hospital and they voted x2 as an unacceptable abbreviation. We currently have to spell it out. We also have to spell out q as every, qid as four times daily, bid as two times daily and so on and so on. I would ask the dictator or your QA person before making a final decision.
