Common Mistakes

  • Junte os prontuários médicos relevantes.

    ‘Junte’ is the subjunctive form; the correct imperative for a direct request is ‘Junta’ (or ‘Junte’ only in very formal written orders).

  • Junta os prontuário médicos relevantes.

    The noun must agree in number with the article; use the plural ‘prontuários’.

  • Junta os prontuários médicos relevante.

    Since ‘prontuários’ is plural, the adjective must also be plural: ‘relevantes’.

Alternatives

  • Reúna os prontuários médicos pertinentes.

    Gather the pertinent medical records.

  • Colete os registros médicos necessários.

    Collect the necessary medical records.

  • Junte os arquivos médicos relevantes.

    Put together the relevant medical files.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, the term ‘prontuário’ refers to the complete patient chart, including notes, test results, and prescriptions. In a hospital or clinic, using the formal imperative ‘Junta’ is polite when speaking to staff you have a professional relationship with, but you might also hear the more formal ‘Junte’ in written directives.
