(Or a "quiz" for those already in the nursing program to review terms listed.)If there's a nursing "Bible" then this is it as it's essential for nursing students. Around 90% of all the nursing books you'll purchase are so thick that there's no room for a glossary. Enter Taber's, problem solved. There are many excellent reviews for you to read here. My purpose of writing is to share some of the terms that nursing students awaiting entry into nursing school should go ahead and learn as they were mentioned over and over in my first year nursing books:ADL, advance directive, adventitious, alveoli, aphasia, ascites, asepsis, aspiration, atelectasis, blanch, BP (and go ahead and learn how to take correctly,) Braden scale, bradycardia, bradypnea, bruit, BUN, cachexia, CAD, calculi, capillary refill, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, chloasma, cholecystitis, colonoscopy, colostomy, contracture, contraindication, COPD, creatinine, CSF, defibrillation, diastolic, digoxin, distention, diuretic, dysphasia, dyspnea, dysrhythmia, dysuria, ecchymosis, edema, emesis, epiglottitis, erythema, exacerbation, excoriation, febrile, flank, fundus, glaucoma, heart, Heimlich maneuver, hematuria, hemoptysis, HPV, hypertension, hypotension (orthostatic), hypoxia, idiopathic, infiltrate, insensible (loss), inspiration, ischemia, jejunocolostomy, Korotkoff's sounds, kyphosis, leukocytosis, living will, lordosis, maceration, mastitis, MCH, MCHC, metastasis, MI, NANDA, NLN, NCLEX-RN, necrosis, Nightingale, F., NPH insulin, nystagmus, obese, oliguria, opioid, orthopnea, os, osteoporosis, otalgia, O.U.
