1. Before starting this assignment, I recommend that you watch the video posted in Unit 2 of our course titled, “Words of Wisdom from Your Instructor: How to Deconstruct Medical Terms”. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO: “Words of Wisdom from Your Instructor: How to Deconstruct Medical Terms.”
2. Find a root in the appendix of our textbook or in an online search of medical terms. Then change the root into three other terms by adding different prefixes and/or suffixes. These must be “actual” words that are of accepted use in medical language.
3. Deconstruct each of your three medical terms. Tell what each word part is (prefix, root, and/or suffix) and define each word part.
4. Give the definitions for each new medical term.
5. Then use each term correctly in a sentence IN A MANNER THAT MAKES THE MEANING OF THE TERM CLEAR FROM CONTEXT.

Also, do not use the examples given in the video or in these instructions for your post. (Don’t use the roots “thyroid”, “card”, “cardi”, or “nat” which are used in examples. Also, do not use the roots “derm” or “dermat” You will not receive assignment credit if you use these roots.)
