1. Imagine you are a radiologic technologist working for a neuroradiologist. You talk to the patient before assisting with a procedure and take notes using abbreviations. The neuroradiologist asks you for your assessment before beginning the procedure. In this activity, you will translate your notes into medical terminology. You will use the drop downs below to fill in the translation. ***Use Unit 6 lesson 3 and Unit 6 lesson 6 to help you with this translation*** Step 1: Read Over Your Notes 45-year-old female pt, VSS, PERRLA with h/o CVA and CVD c/o HA and N/V for 3 days Tests: CSF, CT head R/o inflammation of the blood vessels, hernia of the spinal cord (12 points) Translate into medical terminology by using the dropdowns below: 45-year- old female , , with and and for 3 days Tests: , head inflammation of the blood vessels, hernia of the spinal cord Question 2 2.

Question 1: Translate into Medical Terminology

Translation:

45-year-old female patient, vital signs stable (VSS), pupils equal, round, reactive to light and accommodation (PERRLA) with history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) complaining of headaches (HA) and nausea and vomiting (N/V) for 3 days.

Tests: cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), computed tomography (CT) of the head to rule out (R/o) inflammation of the blood vessels, hernia of the spinal cord.


Question 2: Break Down the Meaning of the Term Electroencephalography

Response Areas:

  1. Electro - relating to electricity
  2. Encephalo - relating to the brain
  3. Graphy - process of recording or imaging

This breaks down the term "electroencephalography" into its component parts where electro refers to electrical activity, encephalo refers to the brain, and graphy refers to the recording or imaging process.
