If you haven't already subscribed, hit the subscribe button and if you want to get notifications click the bell because then you'll get a notification when my vlogs go up but thank you either way for tuning in. So the lovely amazing people at Sage Publishing have asked me to do some reviews for some of their books which I am psyched about because I know a lot of you. The first question you ask me is one of the ones is what books do I need for nursing and I've said before in previous vlogs I haven't really read any books and stuff so I'm really excited to finally review some books for you so that I can give you advice at last. So the first book that I am going to review, funnily enough matches my lovely green jumper. So I have got this one which is the nurses anatomy physiology and path... oh I can't say these words... pathophysiology, yes glossary. So this is the one from Sage Publishing. They're also giving all of my viewers 25% off. I'm going to put the code below, use that code if you want to purchase any books from them. Have a look around and see what sort of ones you want and yeah but I'm going to review a few books. So the books that I actually have got to review I have got this one and I've got this one. It's in a sealed paper and everything and this one is my... oh I'm really excited for this one. The coloring book. So back to this book. So this book this was written by Neil Cook, Andrea Shepard, Jennifer Boer or Boer, B-Double-O-R-E sorry if I've said that wrong and Stephanie Dunleavy and this is literally just a load of terminologies and definitions in this book. So key features of the book on the back says prepare for practice, clear definitions and commonly used terminology, learn the language so it's also got which is good for me because I can't speak as you know. Learn the language so phonics based guidance on pronunciation. Yes I haven't even read this book and this book's amazing. Deepen your knowledge breaks down complex terms to aid understanding. This why wouldn't you want this? This is I needed this at the start of my first year. Why have I only just discovered this? Anyway as you know people that watch my vlogs I really struggle with terminology and pronouncing things. So the first part of this book, part one is all about dissecting words to aid understanding. So you have prefixes. A prefix appears at the beginning of a word usually provides a clue as to what to expect in the words meaning. Usually described location and intensity for example a depot at the beginning of a word usually means it will refer to fat or lipids in some way. Breaking down the adipocyte is a good example of where adipo refers to fat and the suffix explained below. Okay so then suffixes are placed at the end of words to change the original meaning not to confuse you or anything. In terminology associated with anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology a suffix usually indicates a procedure condition or disease. Lovely so here we go. So we've got a list of prefixes here. You've got a slash an which means without ab away from add towards adding pertaining to gland aero like aeroplane a depot fat if you think a depot like lipo maybe you can think fat relate that maybe af is towards anyway I'm not going to go through all of these but yes you get it the prefixes are at the front and the meanings of them there's quite a few pages of that and then on page seven it goes into the suffix so the suffix is these sort of things if you can see that you've got able or able ability to be capable of like being able to emia or emic pertaining or referring to blood so we know anemia or being anemic is the blood is to you know it's to do with the blood and the iron acesia condition of sedation um owl or r is pertaining to algae referring to pain yeah that makes sense algae so like analgesia analgia referring to pain anyway again I'm not going to go through all of these so I'm just going to go through to part two part two is the alphabetical glossary of this book and so you've got the again the term and the definition which is a running theme throughout this book you'll always have the term and definition really really simple and easy to understand by the looks of it so you've got abduction which is movement away from the middle line of the body abscess a collection of pus restricted to a specific area in tissue organs or combined space I've seen an abscess and it's not especially when it explodes and you're not expecting it oh okay I've got a word sorry this word we'll give it a go so dynamic equilibrium actually that wasn't that bad but it's not underneath how to say it so it says equa equilibrium equi equi equilib I can't say it now I'm trying to focus on it I can't say it I said it perfectly to start with dynamic equilibrium equilibrium anyway this is the maintenance of the body position in response to sudden movements and is perceived through rotational movement okay dynamic equilibrium what else have we got in here let's just actually let's just go okay here we oh no why would you do that to me okay so okay it's not that bad myoglobinuria myoglobinuria and underneath it says myoglobinuria here you go oh i love this this is great which is presence of myoglobin in the urine okay what is myoglobin lucky for you the word above it is myoglobin so myoglobin is a red coloured oxygen transmitting protein found only in muscles used to bind to oxygen it consists of one heme molecule and one iron molecule attached to a single globin protein chain wow i'm learning i'm qualified i've got a degree guys what is wrong with me this book is just amazing okay let's do one more okay okay i found a cute word which i had no idea so this is ossicles it's like icicles but ossicles ready for christmas guys so this is said like osic ills okay ossicles ossicles ossicles now i like ossicles let's keep it that okay tiny bones in the ear that connect with the eardrum transferring and magnifying sound vibration from the auditory canal to the inner ear ossicles oh that's cute i like that and then at the very end of the book you have part three for notes you've got a few pages to make your own term and definitions and put things into a way that you're going to understand it from the book which is what i like to do like i was giving examples then i like to relate things to different things that really helps me remember everything so all in all this book has over 1900 essential terms explained this book's amazing like i said this is great i wish i had this in my first year because this would have been a massive massive help i think and your terminology just froze me as you know so this has been really good really good to read and now when i do my vlogs in future i'm going to refer back to this because i'll know how to say a word so all in all this book is yeah i love this book not only does it match my jumper but it's actually a really good read it's really helpful really useful to student nurses and qualified nurses out there that really struggle with terminology and how to pronounce things this is a lifesaver and if i was going to rate this book between a one to five one being the lowest five being the highest i have to rate it a five this is really simple really easy to understand it's got white pages which i know is a really silly thing to judge a book on but i love crisp white pages i don't like that off creamy colour it makes me it makes it really hard for me to read and i'm not a reader as some of you know i like a white clean page and pictures that's the other thing um so this is just it's really nice it's really handy it's quite small as well sort of fit into a nice little backpack if you've got a small backpack or a small handbag if you're taking it to uni or onto the wards with you or into the community wherever you are out there working or on placement it's really handy and it looks like it's wipeable as well like the cover's quite nice i think probably not waterproof but it does definitely look feels wipeable and massive thank you for letting me review this book this is amazing this has been a really good read and it's going to help me in my future as a newly qualified nurse a hundred percent so thank you thank you thank you so much for allowing me to review this and i'm going to give this five out of five
