1. Recently the patient began to suffer pain and swelling in both knees with loss of mobility. Blood analysis reveals an excess of uric acid in the blood. What is the diagnosis __________________________________________________________________________ 2. Where would this condition of hypertension be mentioned in the record? Make sure to go over the Chapter #2 medical charts to determine the diagnosis ____________________________ 3. A 63-year-old male was diagnosed as having carcinoma of the esophagus with metastatic lesions in the lung. The condition had progressed to a point where an x-ray examination showed a chronic dilatation of the bronchi of the lung. In addition, the medical history reported that the patient had suffered a coronary thrombosis within the past month. What are the proper diagnosis ___________________________________________________________________ 4. Terms like hematuria, hemoptysis, and hemorrhage begin with the word root hem- which means blood. This root also is used as a suffix and when so used, the syllable -ia is added to it to produce -hemia. Thus, the term polycythemia means abnormal increase of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood. Sometimes the his omitted, such as in the word hyperglyc(h)emia which means abnormally high blood sugar. Can you think of a condition with the suffix -emia which is characterized by an abnormal reduction in red blood cells ________________________________________________________________________ 5. You have seen the term bronchiectasis (bronch = bronchial tubes of the lung) + (-estasis = expansion, dilatation). This is a condition characterized by the chronic dilatation of the bronchi. The suffix -ectasis means dilatation; the suffix -stenosis means constriction or narrowing. Therefore, a condition opposite to bronchiectasis would be bronchostenosis — the stricture or abnormal diminution of the caliber (diameter) of the bronchi. Select the word which is described in each of the following statements. Emphysema, abnormal swelling or inflation of the lungs, is known as: _________________ A tumor located near an artery could expand causing the artery to be constricted. Such a condition would be known as:___________________________________________ 6. You know that two different medical terms can have the same meaning. Two different suffixes can also have the same or similar meanings. An example is the suffix -(i)asis (condition of, formation of, presence of) and the suffix -poiesis(formation of, production of). Some words using these two terms are as follows, now give their definitions lithiasis _________________________________ nephrolithiasis __________________________________ hemopoiesis _____________________________________________ 7. A medical record noted the presence of a severe asthmatic attack one week prior to admission. Would this most likely be due to _______________________________________ 8. As cancer progresses, it is not unusual for the lymph nodes around the primary site to become affected. Also, certain types of cancer — Hodgkin disease, lymphocytic leukemia, and lymphosarcoma — are closely associated with the lymphatic system, especially enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck and groin and enlargement of the lymphoid tissue of the spleen. Fill the blank in the statement with an appropriate term._____________________________ 9. Recently a male patient began to spit up blood. Also, he has experienced shortness of breath and, in general, has been having difficulty breathing. A physical examination of the lungs revealed obstruction in the passage of air. The patient’s breath was fetid (bad smelling, stinking), and he admitted to severe coughing spells in recent days. Identify the diagnosis ________________________________________________________________________ 10. This is the first admission for this 55-year-old white male. He appears in general good health. For the past two weeks he has experienced dysphagia, an occasional hemoptysis. Four days ago, he had a severe asthmatic attack relieved only after receiving Adrenalin. X-rays show a carcinoma of the bronchus. Name the diagnosis.____________________________________________________________________ 11.

He has found it increasingly difficult and painful to swallow. In the past week, he began having breathing difficulties (dyspnea). About three months ago, he experienced some dizziness, and he fainted during once of these episodes. However, these spells have not occurred for the past two months. Identify the symptoms that might be recorded in the medical record _________________________________________________________________________ 13. A 58-year-old man noticed the development of dry, scaly patches on the back of his hand. On two or three occasions within the past month, he rubbed off portions of this scaly layer and bleeding occurred. Eventually, this condition was diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. What is the significant symptom? ________________________________________________________ 14. A variety of diseases, including bladder or prostatic cancer, may produce urinary symptoms.

As part of a physical examination, the examining physician notes the ability of the patient to move his or her limbs, the ability to feel, and the ability to speak, remember, see, and hear in a normal fashion. The absence or malfunction of these abilities can be associated with nervous or neurological disorders. Loss of the ability to move parts of the body or to receive sensations will be noted. In many of these instances, the record will state that there seems to be some type of paralysis associated with the cranial nerves, the spinal nerves, or some condition of the brain tissues. Find proper medical terms to describe the condition. ____________________________________________________________________________ 18.
