Patient is W/N, W/D and in NAD...

I guess NAD is for "no apparent distress" ....what are the other two for??


  #2

As long as they aren't in the official abbreviation list you cannot use them, so why bother?

Yeah, not in the list. You cannot use them in the real exam!

W/D (well developed), W/N (well nourished).


  #4

NAD = no acute distress.
