- Healthcare policy and law

- First-aid procedures

- Human anatomy and body parts

- Medications and their applications

- Instructive tables covering important elements, vitamins, trade and generic names of commonly prescribed drugs, and much more

Many terms are supplemented with instructive line illustrations, and extensive cross-references help guide you through the book.
