ACTIVITY PACK


The printable Activity Pack is a resource full of instructional support for using the textbook and ancillary products.
It has been broadened and enhanced to meet the challenges of today’s instructional needs.
It is available in PDF format on the Instructor’s Online Resource Center. The fifth edition of the Activity Pack
includes the following materials:


  • Course Outlines.Suggested course outlines help the instructor determine a comfortable pace and plan the best
    method of covering the material presented in the textbook.

  • Clinical Connection Activities.These activities integrate clinical scenarios in each chapter as a solid reinforce-
    ment of content. Instructors should feel free to select activities they deem suitable for their course and decide
    whether the students should complete the activity independently, with peers, or as a group project.

  • Student- and Instructor-Directed Activities.These are updated teaching aids with new ones added for this
    edition. They offer a variety of activities for each body system chapter. Activities can serve as course require-
    ments or supplemental material. In addition, instructors can assign them as individual or collaborative
    projects. For group projects, Peer Evaluation Forms are provided.

  • Oral and Written Research Projects.The research projects provide an opportunity for students to hone their
    research skills. The Community and Internet Resources section offers an updated list of technical journals,
    community organizations, and Internet sources that students can use to complete the oral and written
    projects. This section also includes an evaluation template for the oral and written research projects.
    These projects will add variety and interest to the course while reinforcing the learning process.

  • Anatomy Test Questions.Instructors can use the anatomy test questions for anatomy review or as a testing
    device. These questions also include an illustration for each body system chapter. An answer key is also
    provided.

  • Supplemental Medical Record Activities.We have updated the supplemental medical record activities and
    added new activities to this edition. As in the textbook, these medical record activities use common clinical
    scenarios to show how the student would use medical terminology in the clinical area to document patient
    care. Each medical record includes activities for terminology, pronunciation, and medical record analysis. In
    addition, each medical record focuses on a specific medical specialty. Instructors can use these records for
    group activities, oral reports, medical coding activities, or individual assignments. The medical records are
    designed to reinforce and enhance terminology presented in the textbook. An answer key is also provided.

  • Crossword Puzzles.These fun, educational activities reinforce material covered in each body system chapter.
    Instructors can use them for an individual or group activity, an extra credit opportunity, or just for fun. An
    answer key is included for each puzzle.

  • Anatomy Coloring Activities.Anatomy coloring activities, included for each body system chapter, help
    reinforce the positions of the main organs that compose a particular body system.

  • Terminology Answer Keys.In response to requests from instructors, this section summarizes the answers to the
    Terminology tables in the medical records sections of the textbook. This added feature provides instructional
    support in using the textbook and assists instructors in correcting terminology assignments.


POWERPOINT LECTURE NOTES


Simplified,5th edition, contains a completely updated and expanded PowerPoint Lecture Notespackage that instructors
can easily integrate, modify, or enhance to meet their classroom needs. We have developed over 1,270 slides for this
edition, including numerous, full-color illustrations with captions from the textbook and other sources. The Power-
Point Lecture Notesslides also contain pedagogical notes for each chapter (at the bottom of the slide) to reinforce
comprehension and offer suggestions for a higher retention level for material discussed. In addition, instructors can
also arrange to use the PowerPoint presentations for independent study purposes.
The PowerPoint Lecture Notesprovide an outline-based presentation for each body system chapter. Each presen-
tation contains a chapter overview, the structure and functions of each body system, and selected pathology, vocabulary,
and diagnostic medical and surgical procedures for each body system chapter. In addition, various exercises, including
clinically related exercises, are included to verify retention of material presented.
