first patient has a musculoskeletal complaint. Using musculoskeletal medical word elements construct 10 medical terms that would reasonably be involved in a complaint dealing with the muscles and/or bones. For example, you could say that your patient had a herniated disk (rupture of a vertebral disk’s center that puts pressure on the spinal cord), perhaps due to lifting heavy weights, as part of her complaint. Each term should include its meaning in parentheses. Then list 3 tests or procedures that would reasonably be involved in evaluating a patient like this.

Your second patient has a gastrointestinal complaint. Using digestive medical word elements construct 10 medical terms that would reasonably be involved in a complaint dealing with the digestive tract. For example, you could say that your patient had glossitis (inflammation of the tongue), perhaps due to overindulging in jalapeno peppers, as part of his complaint. Each term should include its meaning in parentheses. Then list 3 tests or procedures that would reasonably be involved in evaluating a patient like this.

Your final patient has a respiratory problem, so something having to do with her breathing or lungs needs to be described. Again, use at least 10 terms especially using the respiratory medical word elements . Also, you need to include 3 tests or procedures that will help you to discover what the problem with your patient is.
