This convenient reference is the only pocket-size dictionary with a strong emphasis on nursing and allied health terminology.

Word roots and pronunciations are included when appropriate to help readers learn and correctly use medical terminology. Screened "thumb tabs" assist in quickly locating definitions, and a hard yet flexible cover increases the dictionary's durability. This handy resource offers an alternative to students and practitioners who seek a comprehensive reference at a lower cost or who prefer the convenient size.
