Exploring Medical Language: A Student-Directed Approach (10th Edition) – PDF

The eBook, “Exploring Medical Language, 10th edition” by Myrna LaFleur Brooks and Danielle LaFleur Brooks, provides a unique approach to learning medical terms. The worktext allows you to gradually understand medical terminology by first learning word parts and then combining them into full medical terms that make sense. This resource is the only one on the market that incorporates all the proven methods for mastering medical terminology that works best for today’s medical students and learners.

The eBook contains over 400 flashcards that enable readers to review word parts when and where they want. Plus, there are new pronunciation exercises that focus on the importance of correct pronunciation of terms. Updated drawings and photos keep readers informed of current technology and healthcare processes. Simulations of electronic health records introduce readers to the growing use of EHRs in healthcare settings.

The eBook also includes updated terms and abbreviations that reflect the latest developments in technology and the healthcare delivery system. Case studies introduce medical terminology in context and encourage critical thinking and information application. Additionally, integrative medicine boxes are updated and introduce terminology related to integrative medicine (formerly complementary and alternative medicine).

The systematic presentation of medical terminology provides a foundation of word parts (prefixes, word roots, and suffixes) and then builds words by combining the parts. An “AudioTerms” study companion can be easily downloaded to portable media players and includes over 3,000 terms, each of which is defined and pronounced. Margin boxes detail important information such as medical terminology facts and tips, weblinks, historical information, and complementary and alternative medicine terms.

The comprehensive coverage of words that are built from word parts and other important terms creates a distinction between terms built from word parts and those not easily recognized as built from word parts. This approach provides thorough coverage of both types of terms.
