All nurses, as well as many other medical disciplines, use medical terminology in documenting in the patient's medical records, in medical reports to the tending physician, in filling out many forms required by Medicare, Medicaid, and private medical insurance companies, etc. They also use this to communicate with other medical professionals. The reason for using medical terminology instead of conversational language is because conversational language have different meanings for words and phrases. In medicine it is very important to be able to understand what is being said/written. Medical terminology used Latin language because it is a dead language and will never change which means the meaning of medical terms will always be the same.
