Help students master the terminology they need to communicate clearly and confidently in the healthcare setting! Using small learning segments or "chunks," Mastering Healthcare Terminology, 7th Edition makes it easy to learn medical terms and definitions. Concepts and terms are immediately followed by exercises to reinforce and assess student understanding. Organizing terminology by body system, the text covers prefixes, suffixes, and word roots, and realistic case studies help students apply their knowledge to practice. Special boxes provide alerts to terminology pitfalls. Ideal for programs that do not need heavy coverage of A&P, this book includes an Evolve website with medical animations, flash cards, quizzes, word games, and more.
