Sinossi

This phenomenally comprehensive text teaches the veterinary assistant student literally everything they need to know. It gives a well-rounded overview of the basic and clinical sciences, then proceeds to specific clinical applications, nursing procedures, and even administrative skills.

Up-to-date content, most notably in the areas of pharmacology, anesthesia, and emergency procedures -- for state-of-the-art information in these rapidly changing areas. Separate chapters on anatomy and physiology, legal/ethical issues, dentistry, geriatrics, and wildlife. Numerous summary boxes throughout cover important assessment and monitoring parameters, signs and symptoms, drug data, and more -- providing rapid access to key information. Step-by-step procedure boxes clearly identify the technician's role in performing independent and interdependent functions. Learning objectives, key terms, and end-of-book study questions help students assess comprehension. Instructor's manual features lecture outlines and a 500-question testbank to assess student performance.
