I've seen mixed comments and not all the "acceptable" abbreviations are listed on the USMLE website.
Is it ok to abbreviate the following in this way?
CV / Heart: -m / -r / -g = no murmurs, no rubs, no gallops
Chest: -r/-r/-s/-w = no rales; no rhonchi; no stridor; no wheezing
what about this?
"d/t" for "due to"
what about this?
"d/c" for "discharge"
what about this?
"nsvd" = normal spontaneous vaginal delivery
lolz...guys dont be Innovative, USMLE CS has these abbreviations ( if you use others you fail ...so stop inventing or using which are not advised by USMLE) , look for FA or the patient notes how to use an which one's to use .
Go to official website of usmle orientation stuff you get it there
that is funny d/t : not there sorry
