(1,379 posts)Mucous Membranes Normal is a standard documentation within the ENT exam. ENT is "Ears, NOSE, and Throat". When the standard documentation states MMN (or mucous membranes normal) it can also refer to the lips and pharynx. All of these structures have mucous membranes.
Reading this documentation there is no indication that it is the nasal mucous membranes they are referring to.
That does not mean it isn't, but you can not state, Mucous Membrane Normal and state there was not injury to the nose, or that the nose was not broken. One does not preclude the other.
I am not taking a side, (I haven't been following the story closely enough), but for you to state because the dictation state "Mucous Membrane Normal" means that GZ didn't have a broken nose is just flat out misleading.
