thanks guys! I will put "due to". Thanks! Hi Lcg... i am plodding on slowly however the clinical decision making model I have to use is a bit of a pain! Not sure if you have heard of the DECIDE model (Gou 2008) Even my tutor wasn't impressed! Im using it with regards of mobility being the patients problem.
Maybe usage has changed things but I always understood that:
(1) 'due to' = 'caused by'
(2) owing to' = 'because of'
In this case I think 'caused by' or 'because of 'are both equally applicable so I'd say 'due to' and 'owing to are acceptable.
However, I really don't think it matters any more. I just used to follow rules like this because I didn't want the people above me, who were even more pedantic than I was (am?), to find fault with my written reports.
