This set of Medical Terminology flash cards includes 18 medical abbreviations beginning with the letter "C." Medical abbreviations can sometimes be challenging: one abbreviation may represent several terms while one term may be abbreviated in several different ways. Use context and follow facility policy when using abbreviations. Always write out the entire term if there may be confusion resulting from the abbreviation.
