This popular introduction to patient care has been completely revised and updated! An organized format and the text's easy-reading style allow students to better grasp concepts. Pre-post tests reinforce learned material; and laboratory reinforcements challenge the reader to perform newly learned skills. Case studies act as critical thinking exercises to tteach the reader how to think. Chapter glossaries provide definitions forcommonly used key terms. New features in the fifth edition: New material includes the most current material on tracheostomy, suctioning, gastrostomy tubes, parenteral nutrition, drug administration (with an emphasis on IV drugs), condom catheters, and special procedures. Chapter outlines provide an overview and introduce the reader to key concepts; a second color highlights text and illustrations; and learning objectives in the form of Expected Outcomes establish learning goals. A new chapter on pharmacology offers essential guidance for administering and understanding drugs related to the clinical setting. Unique to this edition is an appendix with key phrases in Spanish that teaches the reader to communicate with patients who do not speak English.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Needed book, Must buy,
By A reader (Edison, N. J.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Medical Techniques and Patient Care in Imaging Technology (Paperback)
I used this handy reference in school, and it not only helped me to get excellent grades but it also is what I consider a needed reference for the American registry exam for radiologic technologists. This book covers quite thoroughly the section on Patient Care for the american registry exam. I was also recommended a few other books from someone who previously took the american registry exam and passed.
The other books are: "The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography:Key Review Questions and Answers" by Leonardi (Volume1) (Volume2) and (Volume 3). These books had all the questions and answers one needs to make sure they know before taking this test. I know because they helped me to pass.
