TOL stands for Tolerated. It is used in notes to record that a patient coped well with something, such as a treatment, a meal, or an activity, without bad effects. For example, tolerated PO well means the patient managed food or drink by mouth without problems, and tolerated procedure well means they came through a procedure without difficulty.
Recording that something was tolerated is a quick, reassuring way to show that a patient handled it safely. If a patient did not tolerate something, that would be noted instead, as it might mean a change of plan is needed.
TOL appears often in nursing and medical notes, especially when describing how a patient responded to eating, activity, or treatment.
