Please help if you passed CS recently or received high score on ICE section.
1- Did you use any abbreviations in your denial section?
Is it ok to write on PN: *denies N/V, changes in GU AND GI symptoms*
or does it have to be *denies NAUSEA, VOMITING, changes in bowel movement and urination*?
2- Do we spell out all these terms for main ddx? Such as IBD - IBS - MDD -DVT - SLE- UTI - PKD - RCC - PSGN - BPH?
3- Is it ok to go for 2 ddx in all cases?
4- If one of the VS is abnormal do I copy and paste all of the VS on the PN? Do I have to mention tachycardia, bradycardia, HTN ..
5 - If pt wants letter to be excused from work due to joint pain, do I say after physical exam I may give you a letter. And if they are in pain on physical exam is it ok to say " I will come back and give you a letter since you are in pain"?
when do I deny the letter and how do I handle it?
