I cannot document it in any of my books, but if I remember from my QA person correctly, it has to do with measuring the fundus from the umbilicus. I have one doctor who always says fundus is firm at U and nontender. She also says fundus is firm at U/2 or U/1. Depending on how he/she said it, I would put U-2 or U/2. Not positive on this one, just a suggestion! Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 I think it is a direction meaning 2 fingers (width) below the umbilicus. U/2 Aloha, Pam ----- Original Message ----- > In discharge summary, Dr is dictating Postpartum discharge exam: (C-sec) > > The incision is clean, dry, and intact.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 The Dr dictated U minus 2, so would that be " U-2? " Thank you for your responses. Vikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Not sure how the doc used it, but there is a u-score method that is used by OB/GYN's, Hope this helps, Postpartum exam > The Dr dictated U minus 2, so would that be " U-2?
