Assignment Objectives: After completing this assignment you will be able to:

• Apply your new knowledge of terms and abbreviations related to the respiratory ear, nose, throat, integumentary, musculoskeletal, blood, eye and endocrine systems to interpret medical terms in their proper context
• Perform searches of the internet and other reference materials to answer questions.

Instructions:

Save and print your Assignment #1 which is a series of medical reports and answer the questions that follow each of the reports. 

Place your answers in the sheet below. Save as Assign1.Answers.HIIM134.Smith.J.doc (of course substituting your name). Enter your answer in the appropriate box in the table. In the first report, for example, enter the first symptom in the box in the column after #1. Do not delete the phrases I have listed in each box as a guide (e.g. “Symptom #1) since it not only helps you in completing the assignment, but it also helps me in grading your papers. The point value for each of the questions is located in parentheses after the number. When you have to type in an answer, start after the phrase that begins the box on the same line. Please note that the space within the cell automatically becomes larger when your answer goes beyond one line. You can move to the next box by hitting tab several times, or hitting the down arrow key or placing your cursor in the correct location by using the mouse (which I find the easiest to do). Save frequently as you work on the assignment so that if something goes wrong you haven’t lost too much of your work. Send your assignment answer sheet to the instructor through Canvas. Do not copy and paste your completed worksheet in the homework assignment dialog box, do not send via email as an attachment.
