Using Medical Terminology 1 It Is Very Helpful To Use The New Words You Are

Using Medical Terminology 1 It is very helpful to use the new words you are learning in the context they will be used
It helps you relate the terms to their meaning
The technique allows you to build upon what you already know
Each week you will practice using the new words
Add as much as you can to your discussion posts so you can obtain feedback from faculty and peers on whether you have it correctly
Exemplar: 6 yo male presented with likely gastroenteritis
C/o nausea without emesis, diarrhea, flatulence, and eructating
Denies rebound tenderness, r/o appendicitis
No pyrexia, but anorexia for two days
Definitions:Gastroenteritis:Nausea:Emesis:Diarrhea:Flatulence:Eructating:Appendicitis:Pyrexia:Use medical terms in a short paragraph of your creation
Include the following aspects in the discussion: Choose three medical terms from chapter 2-cardiology,  anesthetize  comatose  Each paragraph should be long enough to ensure the term is used with as many other medical terms as possible (see exemplar) Each term should pertain to anatomy and physiology Underline each term and place definitions for each at the end of the initial discussion post (see exemplar)   Discussion #2 is the opposite of Discussion #1 You will need to turn a layperson’s paragraph into a medical professional paragraph
Learning is increased when students practice going in both directions; formal to informal, and informal to formal
The primary focus is the Pathophysiology in this discussion
Anatomy and Physiology show us how the body is supposed to work
Pathophysiology is the study of something that has gone wrong (accident, injury, disease, congenital)
  Exemplar: Casual: I fell off my motorcycle and broke my arm
It hurt something terrible and the bones were sticking right through my arm
The medic said it was cutting off my blood flow and my fingers were numb and purply
I was really worried the doctors would have to cut them right off
But when I got to the hospital, I saw a special bone doctor and he fixed me right up
Formal: The patient sustained an open compound fracture of the radius
He was complaining of severe 10/10 pain
Circulation distal to the injury was decreased
Fingers were pale with paresthesia
The patient asked if his fingers would have to be amputated
The patient was referred to an orthopedic specialist
Produce a casual and formal paragraph describing the terminology for a pathology
Include the following aspects in the discussion: The response should be long enough to ensure the chosen terms are used The terms should be from the assigned chapter and pertain to pathophysiology Underline the terms and supporting terms, and place definitions for each at the end of the initial discussion post
