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.
-
- Provides interactive exercises that help you quickly learn and remember the meaning of medical word roots, prefixes, and suffixes; repetition within the exercises enables you to rapidly learn the language of medicine
- 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
- Contains case histories that familiarise you with how medical language is used by doctors
- Provides a comprehensive list in each unit of associated words that are often used in combination with specific medical terms in patient records and medical publications
- Includes self-assessment tests for every main topic, including 16 new self-assessment tests relating medical terms to anatomical positions, as well as final assessment tests that cover all units
