Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 Yes, range-of-motion exercises would be hyphenated because it is showing possession of the " exercises " , however, from what I have been told, something like " the range of motion was good " where it does not show possession or it is not linked with the next word it would not be hyphenated. For example, this is what I was told: 3-mg tablet the tablets comes as 3 mg or guaiac-positive stools the stools were guaiac positive is this making sense? I never knew this until I started this new job, and they are really big on this stuff.
