As seen in medical jargon... PRN abbreviates the Latin "Pro Re Nata" which translates to "as matters stand." Nurses have told me more than once, it means "Patient Report Need" which would seem to be technically incorrect, but is much closer to the functional meaning. (1st Example) When seen in a prescription, it means "as needed"... the same as "patient reports need" but with no further requirement to report to or consult with the doctor." (2nd Example)
"As Patient reports no further pain or weakness at left knee, no additional followup is scheduled. Patient was instructed to return to the clinic PRN." "Take two tablets three times a day PRN for pain."
This means that the person is comfortable with all pronouns(they/he/she/it etc). also, use them respectfully regardless of what the person presents as because gender identity ≠ pronouns gender expression≠ pronouns Also, it depends from person to person if they prefer neopronouns(eg. ze/zir) or not so its always good to ask before!

We all know you have these in your town. The 'odd one out'. A black human being who is demonstrating their 'uniqueness' by shopping at Hot Topic, galavanting around with the white kids who have mohawks. they come complete with spikes on their jacket, lace-up stomp boots, and custom made band shirts. The classical black kid makes fun of these PRNS. You kinda feel bad. But then you laugh. I guess you could say these sex pistols-loving niggas march to the beat of a differant drum. (A non triabl african one, of course.)
"Yo, Hannah and Jackie--LOOK AT THAT PRN (Punk Rock Nigger)! IM MORE BLACK THAN HIM!" "Yeah, so my son is a PRN (Punk Rock Nigger). I dont know where i went wrong, Latisha."
