Translate into common terms the medical terms contained in a progress note for a patient with a skin condition. Spell all medical and common terms correctly on the provided template.
In this first assessment you will begin your exploration of the structure of medical terminology. The first step is to review how to build a medical term. Then you will examine the skin and musculoskeletal systems; in particular, we will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of the integumentary, or skin system. The skin is the largest organ of the body with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Your suggested resources address the three layers of skin, skin conditions, diseases, treatment, and diagnostic studies.
In the assessment, you will review a progress note. This is a common document found in a health care record in doctors’ offices and hospitals. You will then translate the medical terms in the progress note into common terms.
