Musculoskeletal System and Patient Encounters

(graded)
Class, in this thread we will be looking at musculoskeletal system terminology and related
patient encounters. The purpose of this thread is to familiarize you with the Key Concepts
found in TerminalCourse Objective (TCO) 3. You must address all of the questions located
after the example of dischargesummary and patient encounter of Carol Champion.
Discharge Summary
Admission Diagnosis: Multiple compression fractures of T12, L1, L2, and L4
Discharge Diagnosis: Same as above, non-acute fractures
History of Present Illness: This is a 70-year-old African-American female with a long
history of multiple fractures dating back to 1992. She has a history of significant
osteoporosis diagnosed in 1998. The patient also has a history of osteoarthritis and had a
right total hip replacement in 2000. Two days prior to admission, the patient missed the final

step coming down the stairs in her home. She caught hold of the railing but twisted as she
did so and developed some back pain. This became progressively worse over the next 2
days to the point where she was having difficulty ambulating and she went to the
Emergency Room.
On evaluation in the ER, it was noted that she had compression fractures of the T12, L1, L2,
L3, and L4 vertebrae. However, these could not be ruled out as new or old fractures due to
lack of previous X-rays in this area. The patient was admitted for further evaluation.
Past Medical History: The patient is retired and lives in an independent living apartment in
the Pine Valley retirement community. She does not smoke and has no alcohol intake. She
has osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Also of note is that approximately 10 days prior to
admission, the patient had sustained a distal radius fracture of her left forearm for which she
was treated with a splint by an orthopedist.
Physical Examination: This is a well-developed, well-nourished elderly female in no acute
distress. She had moderate discomfort on movement. Her HEENT exam was essentially
normal. Her lungs were clear. Heart had a regular rate and rhythm. Abdomen was soft and
nontender. Her rectal area showed good tone. Her back showed moderate tenderness to
palpation in the upper lumbar and lower thoracic area. Neurologically, she was completely
normal with cranial nerves being intact. Motor was 5/5 in all extremities except for the left
extremity, which was not examined secondary to the arm being in a splint. She had deep
tendon reflexes 2+ and equal. Her sensory exam was normal.
Hospital Course: The patient was admitted and on the day following admission, she had a
bone scan that revealed moderate degenerative joint disease of the T&L (thoracic and
lumbar) spine with no evidence of acute compression fractures. The patient was placed on
bed rest and was started with physical therapy and ambulation with which she has steadily
progressed with decreasing pain and tenderness. The patient is now ambulating using a
walker with a platform for her wrist splint.
Social Services and Physical Therapy were consulted. She is ambulating well with her
walker and it is felt she will do well staying with members of her family over the next 10 to 14
days, after which time she will be able to go back to living in her apartment.
The patient will follow up with the Orthopedic Clinic in 10 to 14 days. She will follow up with
her private physician for the wrist fracture upon discharge.

Discharge Medications: Tylenol #3, one or two p.o. q 4-6 h. p.r.n.; Fosamax 5 mg daily,
and she will continue with her Calcium t.i.d.

TCO #2

In your Terminal Course Objectives for this course, TCO #2 states:

Given a list of common medical words and phrases, some of which are misspelled, correct the spelling
and pronounce the words correctly.

Each week, you will record your Pronounciation Assignments using the Pronounciation
Tool embedded within the course, located in the iConnect Voice tab under Course

to record your pronunciations of the medical terms assigned each week, to ensure that you
are correctly pronouncing each of the words. Your pronunciation of the medical terms will
be graded based on the following grading rubric designed for this assignment:
