Write a research paper outlining the five fundamental word segments used in medical terminology.
We will begin our journey by decoding the fundamental components of the words that define and encompass the human body so that you can begin to understand the medical terminology that you will encounter in the medical field.
Each week, we will build upon this word knowledge, moving through the terminology associated with each body system until you are able to fully integrate these unique and exciting words into a useable and understandable medical language! Without this ability, important and often life-saving information passed from patient to nurse to doctor to insurance company can be lost in translation.
Let’s discuss these concepts, suffixes, and prefixes as we explore the body structure!
After fully completing the textbook readings and learning modules, Concepts, Suffixes and Prefixes of Medical Terminology and Body Structure:
Think of an experience in which you had to explain an illness or injury to a nurse, doctor or loved one to receive care. How did you describe the symptoms, location of injury or illness, and body structures affected? Considering the terminology, you learned this week, how might you now change how you previously described this illness or injury? What terms would you now use for this experience (symptoms, location of injury or illness and body structures affected) and why would you use them? Do you think these terminology changes would have facilitated your care?
