Posted: Jan 07, 2011
Has anyone ever used this textbook and accompanying workbook? I was wondering if the answers were provided for the workbook before ordering it.
Thanks
Probably does not have answers. - sm

On Amazon, one purchaser noted that it did not include answers.
The publisher's website (Delmar-Cengage) doesn't mention answers. You might want to call them at 1-800-648-7450 and ask.
Textbooks intended for college use often do not include answers. It's very common that you cannot obtain them unless you can document that you are an instructor, and sometimes you have to use the book in a course before you can obtain the answers.
Other types of instructional books, for instance, those published by the AMA or some professional organizations, for which there is a "self-study" assumption, are more likely to provide answers.
When I look for book information, I usually check Amazon, since they offer both the product information and the user feedback. After that, I check the publisher's website.
Thank you - AML

Thank you for your reply. I did read the Amazon reviews (love Amazon for that reason!) for the textbook and workbook and noted where it was said there was not an answer set but wanted to be sure that with the book and workbook combined that was true. I have emailed Amazon also asking the same question.
I have a second edition versus a third edition Book of Style, which I cannot afford right now to buy. Can someone help me and tell me what it saysabout putting meals/food. This is a verbatim account and I typed what dr said but QA changed meals to food. She left message per BOS page 217.
This accouint I am is verbatim on samples from hospital that I noted headings were different from every MT. I never what is right or wrong until it comes back from QA and the ...
Hello everyone. I was wondering about the changes from the BOS 2nd edition to the new 3rd edition. I have heard the changes are few. Is there any way to find out what they are without buying a whole new 3rd edition book, which, from what I understand, is mostly book #2 rewritten? I appreciate any thoughts, comments. Thanks in advance. ...
Not sure if this is the place to be, but am starting here . . . am looking for anyone out there who would be able to point me in the direction of where to obtain a free download for the BOS 3rd Edition. Any info or pointing in the appropriate direction would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!! :) ...
Do different medical transcription companies prefer 2nd or 3rd Book of Style? Seems as if I could buy a used 2nd edition from a website such as Amazaon cheaper than the 3rd edition, but I don't want to buy an edition that is not used by medical transcription companies. Your comments, please? TIA- Jane ...
The pdf electronic version of BOS-2 was so handy and easy to use. Wonder what made them decide to do away with that & make it to where you have to open a browser, find the link, sign in, find the BOS page, etc., for the 3rd edition. It's so much more time-consuming, not to mention the search feature doesn't work nearly as well as the BOS-2 pdf version. For the first time ever, I can't wait for the 4th edition because surely nobody likes this & they will g ...
Since I was terminated February 11, I have been reviewing some things in case I need to apply for some MT job in the future. When I worked for M-Modal, I was supplied with Book of Style, 2nd edition. I now have a copy of the 3rd edition, and they say some things are changed.
They say changes have been made include dropping the period after courtesy titles like Dr. and Mr. I always typed Dr. with a period in the report. If it said patient was to follow up with Dr. Sm ...
I cannot get the software to give me totals except in tab delineation, and then I only get totals for each report, not the total sum, which I have to count manually. It keeps showing the documents being counted in the background as read-only, but they are not, unchecked box several times. Anybody?
Thanks in advance.
just me ...
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find a list of all the Figures and Tables in the American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th Edition?
I work for an ortho who specialises in medicolegal and insurance examinations and we often need AMA 5 references in our impairment reports but because he travels and is generally disorganised, he often can't find his AMA5 book. Short of going to a library and photocopying a million pages mysel ...
I have never been more motivated to get away from this company. Did you know there are other places to work?? I know - I forget that too sometimes!! When I tell the people in my life what happens to me at work, they are in disbelief. "What company is this??!!" they say. "My God - what in the world - I would never let anyone keep me shackeled to my computer all day!!" said another. "So let me get this straight, when you 'run out of work,' you have to keep checking back...lik ...
I found this book in a used book store. Bought it becuase it has puzzles in the back I would like to do. The DVD with supposedly the answers is missing. Does anyone have this disk who can copy/paste the answers? ...
Does anyone know what this code is? It keeps popping up on my blank document prior to CTRL-S to bring in a standard.
<non-s> and another one with the letters "red-s". I can't type it in here, because when I do, it leaves a blank instead of those letters in brackets "red-s"
Thanks! ...
The truth is that transcription has changed and it will never go back to the good old days. Mmodal sees this too. They are shifting as is the norm these days. Nothing is static. They are transitioning and they are inviting you to go with them. I am glad to see a training program for coders. There are not enough coders out here. Please be prepared to work your butt off. Take it, work it, and learn it. Coding is a unique, important, challenging ...
Hi coders, I'm an MT with many years of experience and am trying to break into coding and billing. I am starting with an on line course to get the basics and overview of the process. When I am done with that I will take a class at my community college to refresh and hopefully network. Does this sound like a good plan to anyone? Anything to recommend to be supplementing so I will do well on whatever certification tests are necessary when the time comes? Thanks! ...
Can anyone tell me when we receive NJA do we sign out immediately and then sign back in with the WRKA procedure highlighted in teamwork and without closing out docqscribe and waiting for the 15 minutes and say we do get work within 15 minute period do we just continue to be signed in until we are ready to sign off? I'm confused with this. I know they want us to do the coding now in the teamwork for this 15 minute pay. TIA ...

Op report reason: Screening and Diarrhea. Colonoscopy done, polyp found and removed. The reason for the colonoscopy is both Screening and Diarrhea. In fact, doc documents prime reason for colonoscopy is screening and second reason diarrhea. What is the diagnosis code for this? If a coder has to code by the documentation and the doctor's final answer is that it is for both a screening and for diarrhea, what is a coder to do?&n ...
