Synopsis
A knowledge of medical terminology is essential for many health care professions. This self-teaching text provides a interactive, comprehensive guide to the language of medicine. Following a brief introduction to the basic components of medical words, each unit deals with a different body system and includes a word exercise, an anatomy exercise, a word check, and a self assessment. By breaking words into their component parts and applying knowledge through exercises and examples from patient care, the reader learns how words are formed and becomes familiar with the common roots and suffixes of medical words as well as how they will be encountered in practice. The text also provides a comprehensive glossary/index which cross-references the text, as well as a list of common abbreviations. This third edition has a unit on pharmacology and microbiology, and case examples to illustrate how words are used in practice.
