Visually appealing and easy to use, An Introduction to Medical Terminology for Health Care: A Self-Teaching Package, 6th Edition, is designed for readers with little or no prior knowledge of the language of medicine. This popular text offers a highly effective approach to medical terminology by breaking words into their component parts and applying knowledge through exercises and examples from patient care. Throughout the book, information is organised into friendly and accessible learning modules which are presented in a helpful, templated format and can be studied independently. Abundant fill-in exercises and easy-to-understand diagrams also aid the process of analysing and learning medical terms.

Includes anatomy exercises relating the components of medical words to anatomical positions, pathology notes with descriptions of common medical conditions associated with different body systems (including new descriptions of ADHD, autism, eating disorders, and other mental health conditions), a comprehensive glossary, and lists of common abbreviations—all fully revised and updated for this edition
Features helpful drawings and diagrams, many new to this edition, including details of the formation of atheroma and decubitus ulcers, the principle of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), and tubal ligation in women
