vitamin K? - greengrass
Posted: Oct 21, 2014
Are you supposed to type "vitamin K" as dictated or is it one of those dangerous abbreviation things. I seem to remember it means potassium or something else but haven't come across it in a long time.
It's a vitamin - and
[ In Reply To ..]and is transcribed vitamin K. K is the chemical symbol for potassium and is sometimes dictated that way in the labs.
Vitamin K is given to patients who have been on warfarin to reverse its effects if they have been having blood loss.
Thank you! - greengrass
[ In Reply To ..]Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I had already sent the report in before I got an answer but I did type it as "vitamin K" so it's good to know I did it correctly. The patient had been on a blood thinner and was going to be having surgery so it fits.

How To Accurately Transcribe Vitamin D3 5000 Units Daily?
Nov 23, 2011
Question...I've been looking all over trying to figure out the best way to transcribe number/number combinations with medications on a list of meds where using parentheses doesn't seem to be right. For example: Vitamin D3 5000 units daily, vitamin B12 500 mg daily, etc. Is there a way to transcribe this where it doesn't look so number-heavy and the dosage is clearly separate from the vitamin? TIA! ...
