Learning new words can be daunting especially with words that are pertaining to the body such as medical terminology. I was in a medical program in high school and I always had difficulties when it comes to learning medical terminology. My prayers were answered when my teacher introduced us to the Basic Word Structure chapter, which the first chapter of this course. I have learned how to break down each part of a word and find the meaning of each part such as the prefix, suffix, root and what the combining form of the word mean. Throughout this course I plan to use the same concept which is to learn the structure of the words such as the prefixes, suffixes, abbreviations and try to master at memorizing the terms that are pertaining to the body.

However the roaring twenties did not convey complete euphoria, agricultural prices plunged and also the Stock Market Crash of 1929 led the country into one of the worse economic downfalls in its history, the Great Depression. Although many scholars tend to argue that the tension between the traditional and modern values arose as a result

All students need direct instruction of vocabulary, but it is especially imperative for ELLs. They need much more exposure to new vocabulary than their native-English-speaking classmates. ELLs need to learn cognates, prefixes, suffixes, and root words to enhance their ability to make sense of new lexicon. Beginning ELLs and more advanced ELL students should actively engage in holistic activities to practice new vocabulary because learning words out of context is difficult for these students. If they memorize the meanings of the words on a list, they will not be able to use the words in their own writing or verbal production until they really understand the meanings. When vocabulary instruction includes explicit, implicit, and strategy instruction, students are repeatedly exposed to the target vocabulary in a variety of contexts which increases their individual vocabulary development and the other resources that help in doing so is the Semantic Mapping primary focus on visual relationships, which is helpful to students from all backgrounds.

The learning challenges I'm having is figuring out what code comes first, when it's more than one code for the ICD-10. It's stressful trying to figure out which medical term or diagnose to look up first. I'm having a little challenge with finding the correct alphabetical category to look under for a medical diagnose. For example the medical diagnose might say cancer but be under Neoplasm category. Another challenge is not knowing what the medical disorders or diseases mean like asympotomatic. How I will overcome this by following directions, asking questions, and continue taking notes. I can google the medical disorders or diseases to find out what they mean and always ask Mrs. Pavey. When Mrs. Pavey tells us the diagnose or medical term can

A website by the name of Globalrph and it was the clinician’s ultimate references. It was a good website. It gave me all the combining forms, prefixes, roots, and suffixes that I could ever imagine. I copied them onto note cards and used them when it was time break down a word and figure out its meaning.

Decoding is very important because then it becomes easier to understand medical terminology. You should first break down the word by evaluating the meaning of the suffix, then prefix, and then the word root. This will in able a worker to identify what it is that is going on and be able to describe it to their patient and to the doctor or physician when asked. But first the worker needs to have a good sense of the origin of words which is called etymology. (Theirer & Breitbard, 2007, p. 1-4)Once you have the basic rules down you should be able to put words together and take them apart by decoding them. You also need to make sure that the spelling and pronunciation are correct because if a medical term is used incorrectly, it can become very dangerous and sometimes life threatening because you diagnose wrong procedures and medication. It creates a communication for health care professionals to make sure that a patient is treated with the highest amount of service and to ensure that they are being treated with the right medication.
Knowing the correct medical terminology is important because there are some terms that is similar in some way by the way it is spelled and the pronunciation.
