Step 1: Define Terms

Question

The following terms were used to describe the nine regions used in the grid method, but they were not defined:
Right hypochondriac region
Epigastric region
Left hypochondriac region
Right lumbar region
Umbilical region
Left lumbar region
Right iliac region
Hypogastric region
Left iliac region
Look up the medical parts of those terms (hypochondriac, lumbar, umbilical, and so on) so you can define what these regions are referring to. Use your prior knowledge of English terms as well as what you’ve learned and add any images you can find for each region to develop a comprehensive and easy-to-understand definition for each term. Write your definitions in a word processing document. Your definitions should also include any additional notes or memorization techniques that might help you remember how to use and reuse each term, such as what words they sound like or what their roots mean. You will need these to complete Step 2.
Step 2: Label Injuries
Imagine that you are reading another clinician’s charts and find the following reports. Identify where the pain is presenting in each of these patients by pasting the following body diagram into a word processing document and typing the letter represented by the person’s name onto the body diagram in the proper location. You can also print the body diagram and use a pen to label the various areas; you will then need a digital camera device to take a picture of your finished document to upload.

Step 1: Define Terms

Below are the definitions for each of the abdominal regions mentioned, along with explanations of their components to help you remember.

1. Right Hypochondriac Region

• Definition: The area of the abdomen located in the upper right quadrant, beneath the ribs (hypochondriac refers to the region under the ribcage).
• Anatomy: Contains parts of the liver, gallbladder, and right kidney.
• Memorization Tip: "Hypo-" means below, and "chondriac" refers to cartilage or ribs, thus forming the "region below the ribs."

2. Epigastric Region

• Definition: The upper central region of the abdomen, located above the stomach.
• Anatomy: Contains the stomach, liver, and part of the pancreas.
• Memorization Tip: "Epi-" means above; thus, it's directly "above the stomach."

3. Left Hypochondriac Region

• Definition: Upper left abdomen area, below the left rib cage.
• Anatomy: Includes parts of the stomach, spleen, and left kidney.
• Memorization Tip: Similar to the right hypochondriac; note that it's on the left side.

4. Right Lumbar Region

• Definition: The right middle section of the abdomen.
• Anatomy: Houses parts of the ascending colon and right kidney.
• Memorization Tip: "Lumbar" refers to the lower back area; think "middle region of the lower back."

5. Umbilical Region

• Definition: The central region of the abdomen surrounding the navel (belly button).
• Anatomy: Contains parts of the small intestine and portions of the transverse colon.
• Memorization Tip: "Umbilical" directly relates to the "umbilicus" or navel.

6. Left Lumbar Region

• Definition: The left middle section of the abdomen.
• Anatomy: Contains parts of the descending colon and left kidney.
• Memorization Tip: Similar to the right lumbar; remember it's the left side.

7. Right Iliac Region

• Definition: The lower right section of the abdomen, also known as the right inguinal region.
• Anatomy: Houses parts of the appendix, cecum, and right ovary.
• Memorization Tip: "Iliac" refers to the ilium, or hip region; think "lower right hip area."

8. Hypogastric Region

• Definition: The central lower region of the abdomen.
• Anatomy: Contains parts of the bladder, small intestine, and female reproductive organs.
• Memorization Tip: "Hypo-" means below, with "gastric" relating to stomach; think "below the stomach."

9. Left Iliac Region

• Definition: The lower left region of the abdomen, also known as the left inguinal region.
• Anatomy: Includes parts of the sigmoid colon and left ovary.
• Memorization Tip: Similar to the right iliac; just remember it's on the left side.

Step 2: Label Injuries

1. Download the body diagram image to label the areas.
2. Based on the injury reports provided in clinical charts, locate the region on the diagram where pain is noted.
3. Type each letter (representing a patient) onto the body diagram in the correct region as described.

If you have additional specific injury reports, please share them for accurate labeling on the body diagram. Otherwise, follow these steps to finalize the document!
