We are required to do a Medical Terminology quiz each week from a med term book, we use Taber's. And I have to say it really helps having that extra amount of knowledge. There are activities through out the books that really help you get the hang of using all the word parts. I would strongly recommend working through one of these.

Sleepy Mom:

Seems this is an older question and may not be useful to you but may help someone else :-)

amb = ambulate

amb c ass = ambulate with assistance

as tol = as tolerated

str = straight - as hooking a catheter to straight drainage is the best I can do on this one. I've not encountered this one!

I just bought a book last night at Barnes and Noble on medical terminology, it was a $70 book I got for $8, huge book and looks like it will be very helpful once I get my pre reqs done. They may have it on sale where you are (in the bargain books section)

Ive got a question. What do you do at the firm? Do you like it? and Are you a RN? How did you get your job? Did you have special training? Ok so theres a bunch of questions. Its just that I have really loved law and thought it would be neat to do review. Ive been in case mgmt and have some good exper. what ya think. Ps I dont punctuate on this site mostly because Im lazy by this time of day.
