Synopsis

Designed for self-instruction or classroom use, this quick and easy textbook is ideally suited for one or two credit medical terminology courses. The text is brief yet sufficiently comprehensive to give users a sound understanding of terminology. Part One covers the basics of word analysis, word parts, and word building; Part Two focuses on the major body systems. Each chapter includes word tables, review exercises, and illustrations. A bonus CD-ROM includes a pronunciation glossary with approximately 1,500 terms, plus interactive exercises and a final exam. "LiveAdvise: Medical Terminology" online faculty support and student tutoring services are available free with each text. An online course for use with WebCT or Blackboard is also available.

About this title

Review

, T.W. -- The chapters are easy to read and understand. Medical terminology is broken down and easily applied to the units covered for practical nursing students. , Roberta L. Pohlman, PhD -- There are so many wonderful activities presented to the student, that he/she should have no problem scoring well on a quiz, if all the activities are completed. These types of activites are also a good way for a student to know his/her weaknesses in the chapter. The crossword puzzles are usually fun for everyone, but I really liked the activity on pronunciation. What a novel idea to help students learn the terms., , Roberta L. Pohlman, PhD -- The new text is colorful and "chock-full" of learning activities for the student. I will continue using this text as it is one of the best books available for a 10-15 week course.,
