1. Healthcare terms that are built from word parts are easier to
understand because the standard, prefixes, suffixes, word roots and
combining forms have standard meanings- once you learn them.
Acronyms do not produce the same type of information that terms made
of word parts do. This makes some of the jargon difficult. Also, using
word parts to build health care terms provides a way to name disease,
procedures, and instruments that have not yet been discovered or
invented. How do you interpret this information? Discuss and define 3
medical terms and 3 acronyms which you have encountered. You may
use what is listed in the book; however, many have encountered medical
terms in everyday life. Try to think of something you have heard on TV,
the doctor's office or hospital, or maybe at work, and discuss those.
2. Why is it important to learn correct pronunciation and accurately
spell health care terms?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of dividing medical
practice into specialties?
4. Using a medical dictionary, research some of the prefixes, suffixes,
and combining forms you have learned in the attached PowerPoints.
Upon completing this task, compose a discussion of your findings. Were
there differences in ease of discovery between prefixes, suffixes and
combining forms? Were definitions different in one dictionary compared
to another?
