Answer

1. **a) The patient is a 40-year-old male.** Hyphens are used for compound adjectives before a noun.<br /><br />2. **b) She is moderately obese, but she is otherwise well nourished.** A comma is used before a coordinating conjunction (but) joining two independent clauses.<br /><br />3. **b) The patient noted some lightheadedness as well as chest discomfort and shortness of breath that was seen on his 12-lead EKG.** "12-lead" is a compound adjective requiring a hyphen. EKG (electrocardiogram) does not require periods.<br /><br />4. **b) The patient arrived for her preoperative appointment.** "Preoperative" is a single word and does not require a hyphen.<br /><br />5. **a) He denies exertional chest pain, orthopnea, or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.** Commas are used to separate items in a list of three or more.<br /><br />6. **a) An appointment is to be arranged with Samantha Kane, dietitian, after cardiac catheterization.** Commas are used to offset appositives (dietitian, in this case).<br /><br />7. **a) PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:<br /> 1. Sleep apnea syndrome** This option uses correct capitalization and formatting. Option b has spelling errors and incorrect capitalization.<br />
