Exploring Medical Language: A Student-Directed Approach, 11th Edition (2021) by Danielle LaFleur Brooks MEd MA, Dale M. Levinsky MD, and Myrna LaFleur Brooks RN BEd is the definitive learning package for mastering medical terminology. A combination text and workbook published by Mosby (Elsevier), this comprehensive resource provides exercises that make it easy to build a solid understanding of medical terminology organized systematically by body system.
Medical terms are divided into two categories: words built from word parts and words NOT built from word parts. Fun, engaging exercises help learners first master word parts - then learn how to combine them into full medical terms that make sense. The text also comes packaged with paper flashcards, and students can access an accompanying Evolve website featuring games, activities, flashcards, and practice exams to build and reinforce fluency in medical language for the healthcare setting.
Key features: comprehensive coverage of medical terminology that distinguishes between terms built from word parts (usually Greek or Latin roots) and those NOT built from word parts (eponyms, acronyms, and modern-language terms); a systematic presentation providing a foundation of word parts (prefix, suffix, word root, and combining vowel); pronunciation guides for every medical term; integrated electronic health records (EHR) exercises; and the signature A & P Boost feature tying terminology to anatomy and physiology.
Topics covered by body system: introduction to word parts; directional terms, planes, and regions of the body; integumentary system; respiratory system; urinary system; male reproductive system; female reproductive system, obstetrics, and neonatology; cardiovascular, immune, and lymphatic systems; digestive system; eye, ear, musculoskeletal, nervous, behavioral health, endocrine systems; and oncology.
Essential for: medical assistant, nursing, allied health, and health information programs; pre-med and pre-nursing students; CMA, RMA, CNA, medical coding (CPC, CCA, CCS), and health information management (RHIT, RHIA) certification preparation; EMT and paramedic training; and any career in healthcare requiring fluency in medical language.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math β Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
