where are the flashcards for terms built from word parts? Edition 1 has 97 terms and now we have additional terms in this chapter built from word parts - need to include the set 1 flashcards.

Where is the list of common abbreviations? Don't we want a consistent format for each chapter?

Nice to see the extra practice worksheet - are we planning on doing this for each chapter? An answer sheet would also be helpful for student feedback). The Open RN reference at the bottom of the worksheet needs to be edited as it says skeletal system - change to digestive.

Other practice worksheets that are needed are being able to break words built from word parts into word parts such as the suffix, word root, combining vowel and prefix (currently in the companion - however we need a line to write on, more space and an answer sheet for feedback purposes). Are we planning on getting rid of or keeping the companion workbook? Are we integrating worksheets into the textbook? If so, consider the above.

graphic is so large that it is difficult to drag and drop terms; include a show solutions tab for feedback

Question 3 - A ridge of cartilage that separates the two main bronchi... carina - more relevant to the respiratory chapter

Consists of the surface and skeletal structures that result in the outward appearance of the nose and contribute to its numerous functions... external nose - isn't a very challenging review question for this chapter.

Situated nearer to the center of the body or the point of attachment... proximal - this question woud be better in the sskeletal system

where are the set 1 terms - built from word parts??? Need to review for accuracy and consistency. This is a big part of the chapter review for students.

since these terms are in the chapter create cards for:

defecation

hernia

hiatal hernia

nutrients

paralytic ileus

peristalsis

probiotics

visceral

vomiting

add: LES (lower esophageal sphincter)

PUD (peptic ulcer disease)

where is the list of common abbreviations mentioned in the chapter?

are we creating flashcards for new terms in this section? May want to for consistency.

keep font size consistent - smaller font size here

term is mispelled - should be; laparoscope

with the first edition we had the abbreviation BE for barium enema. Are we considering continuing to include this abbreviation?

will we have flashcards for all of these as well?

Anatomy flashcards to consider?

pyloric sphincter (pĭ-LOR-ĭk SFINGK-tĕr) - located in the lowest region of the stomach that controls emptying into the small intestine.

Should we create anatomy flashcards - if so, then we should include all (or none) of the anatomy terms in each chapters.

create flashcard - set 2 - terms not built from word parts.

Esophageal varices (ĕ-sŏf-ă-JĒ-ăl VĀR-ĭ-sēz) - an abnormal condition of swollen veins in the lower part of the esophagus.

add to abbreviation list since it is in the chapter

lower esophageal sphincter (LES)

might consider adding the pronunciation of this term. Should we be consistent and include pronunciation of all anatomy terms?

This is an important anatomy term:

epiglottis - a structure composed of a flap of tissue that allows food to enter the esophagus thereby preventing food from entering the trachae and lungs avoiding aspiration.

perhaps we should have a set of flashcards for all anatomy terms. If we decide this we should be consistent and have it for all chapters.

Anatomy flashcards:

example: pharynx (FAR-ĭnks) - the throat

create flashcard for this term - set 1 - words built from word parts. (this term is not in edition 1) Xerostomia (zēr-ŏ-STŌ-mē-ă) - condition of dry mouth.

Also add xer/o to the word root list - xer/o - dry, dryness

create flashcard for term - set 2 - words not built from word parts. Digestion (dī-JĔS-tĭon) is the process by which food is broken down into absorbable units.

In chapter, so add to list

HLAs (human leukocyte antigens)

HPV (human papilloma virus - causes cervical cancer)

SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) -should be SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency disease)

Add: LAD (lymphadenopathy)

Note: some of the abbreviations have definitions - suggest we include the definitions for all abbreviations throughout the textbook. Including the definition of the aabbreviation makes the content more meaningful. We created the definitions fo the abbeviations when we did the "Aligning Bolded Words for Medical Terminology" work.

Lots of detailed abbreviations - some of this information is not in the chapter. How this is tested can however be determined by individual teachers.

Question 2 - student may wonder why this is a question since it isn't in the chapter

Large duct that drains lymph from the lower limbs, left thorax, left upper limb, and the left side of the head...

this case is more relevant. Delete case 2.

change to: white film has appeared over her tonsils (not their). The Celine Cameron case could be deleted - terms like pseudomembranes and crypts are not in the chapter and the student may wonder why this information is being tested.

difficult to drag and drop as the graphic is too big/long. Check accuracy of labeling.

add: aden/o (gland) - this is in the list in 11.2.

Move flashcards lymphadenitis (24), lymphadenopathy (25), thymectomy(43) and thymoma(44) to chapter 11 - lymphatic system - currently in chapter 10 set 1 -built from word parts.

Suggest a flashcard (set 2 - words not built from word parts)

hypersensitivity (hī-pĕr-sĕn-sĭ-TĬV-ĭ-tē) - an exaggerated immune response triggered by exposure to a specific antigen.

the definition in the flashcard (set 1 - card 4) is - Process where some white blood cells engulf invading microorganisms

Do we want to change this to - abnormal condition where (white blood) cells “eat” invading microorganisms (i.e., engulf and destroy).

osis - indicates a pathological condition / abnormal condition

this isn't really abnormal , it is part of the immune system response but osis means abnormal. how do we wish to address this suffix??

suggest this information be moved to the chapter content in the phagocytosis area rather than being in the reference list

Bold term and create flashcard (set 2 - words not built from word parts)

Immunization - a method used to trigger an individual’s acquired immune response making them resistant to future infectious disease through the use of vaccination.

add pronounciation after passive immunity (PĂS-ĭv im-Ū-nĭt-ē)

since we have innate immune respose as a flashcard term, suggest having adaptive immune response as a term (flashcard, set 2)

adaptive immune response - activated when the innate immune response is insufficient to control an infection. It requires the body’s exposure to a pathogen, recognizing it as a threat, responing to it, and developing memory cells to recognize this pathogen in the future thereby quickly mounting a defense.

Create flashcard for set 2 -words not built from word parts -

Pathogens (PĂTH-ō-jĕn) - bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that can cause infection and disease.
