Unit 3 Project

In this project you will find a medical report for Ima Goodbar. This operative report covers Ima’s Case Study, Preoperative Dx, Procedure, Microscopic Examination, and Postprocedural Dx. You are asked to read the report and translate this report into Layman’s terms. This should be limited to 1-2 paragraphs but with complete sentences. Then you will choose 15 medical terms found in the medical report and place them into the Medical Term Chart. Please take a look at the chart below for an example.

You will also notice this Project is APA formatted with a title page, Body (Assignment), and Reference Page. You will need to provide the correct APA citations on the Reference Page most likely you will be using your textbook and dictionary. As an example, here is the proper reference citation for your textbook: You cite the dictionary.
