An engaging and hands-on way to learn the language of health care,
Stedman’s Medical Terminology, Second Edition uses a proven “work
text” approach that helps students master the information they need
to communicate successfully in the health care world. 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 byWord
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.
