Break each word into its separate parts with their meaning. (you have had MOST of the parts of this terminology, there may be a few you did not know)
Then look up the diagnosis, procedure etc and give a brief description of what it is OR make some connection to something you learned and/or how you may be caring for that patient.
Example: Orthopnea Â
Ortho-straight  pnea-breathe Â
This is when a person has to sit straight up to breathe. We learned a patient with CHF may have fluid overload and can’t breathe well lying down and they sit straight up to try to catch their breath. I would make sure I accurately charted their pulse ox reading and checked the wall flowmeter for the O2

EGD – Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
