Freezing point depression is not a medical term, but a term of physics. It refers to the scientific concept of when the freezing point of a liquid is lowered by adding something to it. For example: The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celcius, but if salt is added to water, the freezing point is lower, and will still be a liquid at 0 degrees.

How do you solve freezing point depression problems when given only the molarity?

Calculating the freezing point depression of a solvent requires three pieces of information: 1) the molal freezing point depression of that solvent; 2) the molality of the solution; 3) the number of distinct entities produced in solution per molecular formula unit of solute. Hopefully you meant molality instead of molarity (if the solvent is water and it's a dilute solution, assuming that molality = molarity isn't a bad approximation). I suspect you've been told what 1 and 3 are (or been given enough information to figure them out) but simply didn't mention it; otherwise you're pretty much boned.
