  This edition offers updated coverage of the ever-expanding vocabulary of the nursing professions, explaining all the terms and concepts likely to be encountered by nurses, therapists, radiographers, and those in similar professions, during the course of their work. In addition to specific nursing terms, there are many entries in the fields of medicine, surgery, anatomy and physiology, psychiatry, physiotherapy and pharmacology (including the trade names of commonly used drugs). A special feature of the dictionary is the inclusion in each entry of an easy guide to correct pronunciation, without the use of special symbols, which will make the dictionary particularly useful to those for whom English is a second language.
