Miller-Keane Encyclopedia & Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing & Allied Health Paperback - 2003

by Marie T. O'Toole


From the publisher

Reviewed by experts in virtually every professional specialty, this definitive dictionary is highly regarded for its readability, accuracy, clinical usefulness, and multidisciplinary approach. Revised and expanded, this seventh edition includes more than 2,000 new entries, numerous new definitions for complementary and alternative therapy terms, new encyclopedic entries, printed thumb tabs, and a companion website. A new, more compact size and soft cover allow for greater portability and ease of use.

  • A strong multidisciplinary emphasis facilitates effective communication between health professionals of all disciplines and specialties.
  • Enhanced readability and accessibility with clear, complete, straightforward definitions helps readers master new, unusual or complex terminology and makes this dictionary particularly valuable for students whose first language is not English, or whose language skills are limited.
  • Pronunciation guides enhance verbal communication skills.
  • Subentry style of organization (similar to Taber's) allows related terms/information to be located in close proximity.
  • Tables provide at-a-glance information on a variety of subjects such as insurance-related terms, abbreviations used in health care reform, and many other topics.
  • A list of stems, prefixes, and suffixes teaches students how to analyze the meaning of unfamiliar words.
  • "How to Use Miller/Keane" visual guide on the inside front cover illustrates this reference's many features.
  • Insightful commentaries by prominent experts in nursing and allied health appear in 42 unique "Windows."
  • The vocabulary of the Unified Nursing Language System (UNLS), including NANDA, NIC, NOC, and the Omaha system provides a quick reference for standardized nursing languages.
  • Approximately 3,500 new terms provide extensive coverage for all areas of nursing, medicine, and allied health.
  • Smaller trim size (5 1/2 x 8 1/2) and soft cover enhance portability and easy of use.
  • An updated 32-page full color atlas of human anatomy and an expanded 8-page full color atlas of common disorders provide detailed visual references.
  • Printed thumb tabs enable users to access desired information quickly.
  • Numerous new definitions for complementary and alternative therapy terms.
  • Dorland's spellchecker software is included with each copy to facilitate spelling medical terms correctly in writing.
