Medical Terminology Complete! takes a programmed approach to presenting the most current language of healthcare. Organized by body system, the text conveys the medical terms used in medical offices, hospitals and clinics, together with essential A&P information.
You'll get step-by-step guidance in building medical terms. Word Part Reminders show you how word parts combine to form a term, while Word Part Breakdowns identify word parts. Some exercises offer word-building practice, while others use medical reports to show how medical terms are used in practice.
The 4th Edition improves clinical training for students poised to a launch a healthcare career. New types of chapter-ending exercises, such as Define the Combining Form and Complete the Labels exercises, round out a comprehensive series of practice opportunities.
