In my sentence I need to include:
Left vs right side of the body
Regional terms (e.g., brachial, femoral, pectoral, antebrachial, axillary, among many others…see your PPTX for a list)
Orientation terms (e.g., anterior, poster, lateral, medial, proximal, distal, superior, inferior).
Bone, suture, muscle landmarks that will help you pinpoint the location.
DISTANCES (you can use inches or cm) as needed to increase specificity.
Explain using anatomical position and terminology the following common medical complaints (headache, indigestion, asthma, tummy ache)
what is the Narrative documentation of the following senario?
Mr. Smith is one day post-operative (Post-up) abdominal surgery. He complains of (c/lo) "severe pain" to his abdomen and rates his pain level as an 8 on a scale of 1-10. he is grimacing.
