Quick and Easy Medical Terminology 5/e

Featuring a companion practice CD-ROM and audio pronunciations on CD,
this textbook is designed to help students begin reading, writing and
speaking medical terms immediately, giving them the tools needed for
clear, efficient communication in the health care environment. The
book presents small segments of information and immediately tests
comprehension using an approach that combines tables and narrative
interspersed with exercises. Programmed Learning Sections in each
chapter consist of several blocks, or “frames” of material in which
the reader is asked to recall and write information previously
presented. The student interacts with the content on every page by
filling in the programmed sections and checking the answers
immediately before deciding whether to proceed or to review material
presented earlier. Quick & Easy Medical Terminology is organized by
body systems, and after the first five orientation chapters have been
completed, the remaining chapters can be studied in any sequence. It
is ideal for shorter (1- or 2-credit) courses in medical terminology
and for self-study courses, in addition to traditional, lecture-
format classes.
