With more than 75,000 terms, Taber’s 25 gathers the language of medicine, nursing, and other healthcare professions in a single reference. Entries cover topics including diseases and disorders, while patient-care and safety statements bring assessment, treatment, and teaching information into the same resource. Full-color anatomy and physiology illustrations, disease photographs, and audio pronunciations offer additional ways to consult the material. Appendices collect laboratory values, word-building elements, abbreviations, symbols, measurement units, documentation definitions, and common healthcare phrases in English, French, and Spanish. The book also lists online learning resources and professional tools.

  • Healthcare students seeking a terminology reference for coursework or clinical settings

Five Stars! Best medical dictionary!
"I absolutely love this medical dictionary! It is worth the price. I bought the other cheaper one and have to say compared to this one it is disappointing. Spend the money and get this! You won't regret it!!!"--Online Reviewer

EVERYTHING A NURSING STUDENT NEEDS "My school did not recommend this book, but I remembered this book from LPN school and how much it helped with care planning. It's much easier to carry than all the textbooks to clinicals too! LOVE this newest version too!!"--Melissa A. B., Online Reviewer

Nursing school life saver. "This book has been a great for my clinical experience databases. I love how it's broken into sections for easy access and understanding. My school offers an electronic edition for free to us, but I like hard copy books."--P.M., Online Reviewer

Great book. "I use it for nursing school during my clinicals and it is perfect."--Online Reviewer
