citation		separate terms are used for the _______ __________ and the disease or organ
when		when searching the ____ database in PubMed, enter search terms one at a time, veiw tree to see if shouldn't explode, select send to search box and select subheadings an boolean operators, click search PubMed, click history to review search strategy, limit using Limit fxn; make all decisions at once; consider tox and poisoning when thinking about disease state; DON'T USE full text limit
