More than 4,500 questions make this the most comprehensive medical terminology resource on the market. Each chapter begins with enough coverage of anatomy and physiology to provide the context for learning the medical terms, followed by Word Part and Terminology Tables that provide strategies for figuring out the meaning of new words and connecting them to the appropriate body system. Exercises in every chapter progress in a meaningful way from recall and review, to word building, to comprehension, and finally to application and analysis. This approach allows student to a see their vocabulary grow and to connect what they are learning to a real-life context. The Second Edition has been updated to reflect the most current and actively used terms in today's health care settings, new Study Tips help students develop the study skills they need to be successful in future courses, and new PrepU icons direct students to chapter-by-chapter adaptive quizzing and more. |
