Question

transcribe it like a pro: nervous system

the purpose of this exercise is to practice reading how a lay person describes how they feel or what has happened to them and then converting it into medical terms as you enter it into a medical record. each question consists of two sentences. the first sentence uses everyday language in which a patient (or their family) explains how they feel or what is happening to them. the second sentence shows how the patients statement could be entered into their medical record.

student instructions

1. read what \the patient says:\
2. in the \you write:\ sentence there are boxes where medical terms are needed. some sentences have more than one box. each box represents a different medical term.
3. type the correct medical term in each box provided. note that sometimes there may be more than one correct term possible. enter only one of the correct terms. abbreviations may be used.
4. remember that some medical terms consist of more than one word.

the patient says:
\the doctor sent me to the hospital because an x-ray of my brains blood vessels showed i had an abnormally dilated artery in my brain.\

you write:
patient being admitted for a enter answer here after having a enter answer here

<reasoning>

Analyze the patient's statement

The patient states: "The doctor sent me to the hospital because an x-ray of my brain's blood vessels showed I had an abnormally dilated artery in my brain."
We need to translate two key lay descriptions into professional medical terms:

1. "an abnormally dilated artery in my brain"
2. "an x-ray of my brain's blood vessels"

Translate "an abnormally dilated artery in my brain"

Using Medical Terminology and Medical Word Analysis, we break down the components:

• "abnormally dilated artery": A localized, abnormal dilation of a blood vessel is an aneurysm.
• "in my brain": This refers to the cerebrum or brain, which translates to the medical prefix "cerebral".
• Combining these terms gives cerebral aneurysm (or brain aneurysm).

Translate "an x-ray of my brain's blood vessels"

Using Medical Terminology and Medical Word Analysis, we break down the components:

• "x-ray of blood vessels": The medical procedure to visualize blood vessels using X-rays and contrast dye is an angiography (or angiogram).
• "of my brain's": This refers to the cerebrum, translating to "cerebral".
• Combining these terms gives cerebral angiography (or cerebral angiogram).

Map terms to the sentence structure

The medical record sentence is:
"Patient being admitted for a [First Blank] after having a [Second Blank]."

• The reason for admission is the underlying condition: a cerebral aneurysm.
• The preceding event that showed this condition is the diagnostic test: a cerebral angiography (or cerebral angiogram).
• Fitting these in: "Patient being admitted for a cerebral aneurysm after having a cerebral angiogram (or cerebral angiography)."
