should we change the dictated layout of the report? - Aggers


Posted: Dec 27, 2011

This seems crazy asking this while taking the final exam, but this layout seems spitefully incorrect. A few chapters back, it stated "going forward with the course, transcribe the report layout exactly how the dr. dictates it". In this final exam, its an operative report and she has the pre-op and post-op diagnosis' at the end of the report! Should I put them at the beginning where they have been with all the other reports we were given? So confused!

Best of luck on your exam. I know it can be confusing, but that is sometimes how it is on the job too!

Placing an apostrophe at the end of a noun that ends in "s" does not make it plural. What would diagnosis' mean?
