Medical Terminology Study Guide PDF | Prefixes, Suffixes and Root Words | 120 Practice Questions | Nursing, Medical Assistant | Printable

Learn the parts once and read any chart, order or lab slip.

This is a 50-page printable medical terminology study guide for nursing, pre-nursing, medical assistant, phlebotomy, medical coding and other health-career students. I'm Anna, RN, BSN, PHN. I'm a nurse educator, and I've been helping students through NurseStudy.Net since 2012. The guide teaches you how medical words are built, gives you master tables of 400+ prefixes, suffixes and roots, then walks through every body system with the terms, diagnoses, procedures, abbreviations and pronunciation tips you need, plus 120 practice questions.

What's Inside

• How medical words work: roots, combining vowels, combining forms, prefixes and suffixes, and a 4-step way to break down any term
• Word building and spelling rules (when to keep or drop the "o," the rh suffixes, silent letters)
• Prefix, suffix and root master tables (220 roots and combining forms)
• Plurals, sound-alike words (ileum vs ilium, ureter vs urethra) and commonly misspelled terms
• Directional terms, body planes, abdominal regions and quadrants, patient positions and movement terms
• 11 body systems: integumentary, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, blood and immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, nervous and mental health, eye and ear, endocrine, reproductive and obstetrics
• Each system: word parts with examples, common diagnoses, procedures and tests, abbreviations and a "Say it right" pronunciation box
• Common abbreviations (2 pages) and The Joint Commission "Do Not Use" list with safe alternatives
• Pharmacology terms and drug-name endings (-olol, -pril, -statin and more)
• Lab, imaging and pathology terms, including the order of draw
• All memory tricks on one page and a must-know quick sheet
• 120 practice questions (define it, build it, identify the part, spell it right) with answers and rationales
