Word Associations
This study sheet is used to help you recognize key words and patterns associated with certain diagnosis. It is NOT intended to steer you to remember answers to test, but instead to help you recognize the intent or most likely diagnosis. The information of that specific diagnosis is up to your level of knowledge. Its to help narrow that differential so you can focus on the specifics of the most likely diagnosis.
