Unit 5 Project
This project allows you to show your mastery of medical terminology and
abbreviations.
Directions:
There are four sections in to the Unit 5 Project. Each section is worth 25 points.
You may use your text, medical dictionaries or web resources to assist you in your
med term search.
•Section One - Supply the correct prefix.
•Section Two -Supply several word roots, and then to “translate” from the patient to
the health care professional.
•Sections Three - Supply the correct suffix or word root.
•Section Four - Proofread a short medical report and then identify and correct
misspellings or misuse of medical terminology.

Inpatient Progress Report
Attending Physician: Morales, Javier
Patient: Sally Romper
DOT: 03/01/19XX
•CHIEF COMPLAINT: Sally Romper is a 53-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital for recurrent chest
pain.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This patient has a long history of stable angina pectoralis. She had a positive
treadmill stress test in 2006. A Thallium exam in 2006 showed reversible ischemae. In May 2007 she underwent
cataract surgery, and during her postoperative care she developed severe chest pain. An EMG at the time showed
ischemic ST changes in the anterior leads. Subsequent canary angiography revealed a 90% focal stenoma left
anterior descending coronary atria. The patient then underwent angioplasty of this lesion. The 90% stenosis was
dialted to a 20% stenosis. The patient had an uncomplicated course.
Over the last 10 dailys the patient has had at least five episodes of chest pain, all relieved by rest or a single
nitroglycerin table. She had an episode yesterday while gardening, which lasted almost 5 minutes before subsiding
after a second nitroglycerin tablet. She went to her cardiology office yesterday. An electrocardiograph (EEG) was
performed, which showed marked anterior T-wave inversion in the anterior leads and she was immediately sent to
this hospital for further evaluation. Atherogenic risk factor for her age includes hypercholesterolemia and
hypertension; she also smokes one pack of cigarettes per day. She is not a diabetic. Her family history reveals a
brother who has had a coronary artery hypass graft.
Small arterial calcification is present.
PHYSICAL EXAM: On exam today, blood pressure is 138/86. She has tachycardia with a pulse of 120. She is no
acute distress. Her plugs are clear and she has regular rhythm without a murmur. There is no edema or distention
neck veins.
CURRENT MEDICATIONS:
Lovastatin 20 mg with evening meal
Enalapril 20 my bid
Nifedpine 10 mg tid
Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg sublingual prn.
PLAN: Cardiac catheterization with possible coronary stent if necessary. Serial ECGs Creatine Phosphokinase an
troponin will be obtained to rule out myocardial infarction.
