What's New
Features

  • The Tenth Edition includes 130 new figures to visually link important chapter concepts to practical applications, many of them focused on real-world healthcare topics.
  • The authors have rewritten the Concept Summaries presented at the end of each chapter and formatted them as bullet lists to make this important material easier for students to scan, understand, review and reference.
  • New Health Career Focus features open every chapter with detailed information on careers students may be interested in or actively training to enter. These engaging vignettes are written in the first person to help readers imagine being in the featured position, and they are reinforced by Career Description features that conclude each chapter with a review of the role's responsibilities and qualifications required to attain it.
  • More than 500 end-of-chapter questions are new or updated for the Tenth Edition, covering a wide variety of topics that are current, engaging and relevant to today’s students.
  • The authors have added 168 new examples, many featuring step-by-step solutions to help students master relevant processes and apply them to new problems. Most examples are also followed by Learning Checks that model and reinforce the key concepts involved.
  • Numerous Learning Check features allow students to complete brief self-assessments based on either chapter examples and their solutions, or on discussions of important or challenging concepts, providing a helpful way for students to gauge their progress and identify areas where they may need additional study.
  • Talking Labels integrate key facts and figures into selected visual features, helping students follow the illustrated processes and understand exactly what is happening without having to consult separate captions and draw their own connections.
  • Learning Objectives are integrated throughout each chapter and reinforced within summary sections to help students identify and focus on key skills and concepts they need to succeed.
  • Health Connections features connect chapter content to students' own health and that of the patients they may care for as future allied health professionals, while Environmental Connections features highlight current chemistry-related environmental issues, such as ozone health hazards and the impact of carbon dioxide emissions.
  • In addition to end-of-chapter exercises focused on individual topics or sections, numerous Additional Exercises feature more complex problems integrating multiple concepts, and Chemistry for Thought exercises ask students to apply their cumulative knowledge across several areas to further deepen their understanding and confidence.
