Question on Post vs Status Post - Cindy

Posted: Oct 22, 2009

Sometimes I'm not sure what to do when they say "post" ... something.

I know if it is postauricular (for example), it is attached ... but how about post aneurysmal surgery? It does not seem like it would be attached. - Is it proper to leave it stand-alone or should I change it to status post ... or actually attach it?

Thanks in advance!!

type it as dictated - XanaX

took me a while to get used to that, too. but, if a doc says patient is post C-section, then that's the way i type it...

thx, I had - cindy

a QA person told me to stick "status" in front one time, but I just didn't feel comfortable with that.
