Description
Providing a solid foundation in sonography, this book is designed to help students succeed in both the classroom and in practice. It promotes
study by defining important terminology, by providing a historical overview of ultrasound technology, and by describing the sonographer's
role on the medical team – adding study techniques, note taking, effective listening, and test-taking strategies. For the clinical environment,
the book covers topics such as taking a patient's vital signs, safety considerations, body mechanics, patient transfer, infection control,
and emergency procedures. This book also prepares students for the transition into practice, covering expectations in various clinical
settings, continuing education, sonography specialties, administrative roles, and career options.
