Product Description
There can be an important gap in a student's knowledge if fundamental principles of any one of the sciences are not fully understood. This may result in an inability to apply principles to practice. A Textbook of Science for the Health Professions provides a solid foundation for understanding science at a level appropriate to students' needs.
Synopsis
To keep abreast with current developments in medicine, members of the health care team require a firm grasp of science to cope with changes in technology and understanding of the mechanisms of body function. This is in addition to developing a range of interpersonal and communication skills. There are sections covering biology, chemistry, physics, nutrition, biochemistry, medical microbiology and physiology. Highly illustrated, it includes over a hundred applications and examples to assist the reader in relating science to health care. Throughout, the text is divided into units containing a common theme, and each chapter contains a list of objectives and a summary.
