You and your EMT partner are responding to a medical aid call in the rural West County area. The dispatcher advises that the caller is reporting the patient as having a history of plegia. Why would it be beneficial to have the dispatcher clarify a prefix for the word plegia?

  D) There is actually no need to clarify the word.
