Medical Conditions in the Athlete, Third Edition With Web Study
Guide, equips health care providers with the information they need
to develop a framework for decision making when working with
injured and recovering athletes and active populations. The updated
and streamlined third edition provides comprehensive medical
information that assists health care providers and athletic
trainers in recognizing and identifying underlying and potentially
serious medical conditions that may affect their chosen course of
treatment. The highly esteemed authors, Katie Walsh Flanagan and
Micki Cuppett, have combined their professional skills and
educational expertise to revitalize the content of Medical
Conditions in the Athlete, Third Edition, with current,
research-driven assessment and treatment information for medical
conditions that affect the physically active population. The
updated content aligns with Board of Certification (BOC) and
Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE)
standards. The book addresses medical conditions by body system,
their mechanism of acquisition, signs, symptoms, differential
diagnoses, referral, treatment, and return-to-participation
criteria. The 18 comprehensive chapters are organized into three
sections: Introduction to Medical Conditions, Pharmacology and
Interventions, and Medical Conditions by System. Throughout the
text, more than 380 updated, full-color illustrations and
photographs visually enhance readers' comprehension of anatomy,
physiology, and pathophysiology. Pharmacological tables organize
drugs by categories that include generic and trade names,
therapeutic uses, adult dosage information, and possible adverse
effects. Important terminology is highlighted throughout the
chapters, and a glossary appears at the end of the text. At the
beginning of the text, a Condition Finder serves as a quick
reference so health care providers can easily flip to the
information they need on specific conditions. Throughout the book,
learning aids draw attention to important facts and figures,
presented in three practical categories: * Red Flags are warning
signs that health care providers should look for when working with
clients. * Clinical Tips discuss information that is critically
important to professionals. * Condition Highlights cover specific
medical conditions common to athletes that require special
attention or medical care. New to this edition is an accompanying
web study guide that houses case studies corresponding to specific
chapters. Each case study is followed by questions to help students
apply the strategies covered in the text. Instructors who adopt the
text will have access to a comprehensive collection of ancillary
materials: chapter quizzes, a presentation package of slides, and
an image bank that can be used to enhance presentation slides or
student handouts. Medical Conditions in the Athlete, Third Edition
With Web Study Guide, provides readers with research-driven

Athletic trainers are often the first ones on the scene when an
individual sustains an acute injury. Therefore, knowing how to
assess injuries and illnesses and begin treatment quickly is of
vital importance for aspiring athletic trainers. Acute and
Emergency Care in Athletic Training With Web Study Guide teaches
students how to recognize and manage emergency conditions so they
can provide appropriate patient care between the field and the
emergency department. Authors Michelle Cleary and Katie Walsh
Flanagan take an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from
literature, position statements, and guidelines from numerous
professional health care organizations to offer current
evidence-based clinical best practices. The book’s comprehensive
coverage adheres to and incorporates guidelines from the Commission
on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) and the
Board of Certification (BOC), and it is one of the first textbooks
to align with the competencies outlined in the CAATE 2020
standards. To prepare students to effectively provide appropriate
care before getting an injured or ill athlete to the hospital,
Acute and Emergency Care in Athletic Training includes the
following learning aids: • Case studies in the web study guide
offer practical scenarios that will facilitate critical thinking
and decision-making skills. • Clinical Skills sidebars guide
students through the process of completing specific tasks such as
splinting, wound care, and airway maintenance. • Red Flag
sidebars indicate areas where significant caution is warranted. •
Decision-making algorithms and decision trees lead students through
selecting the most appropriate treatment option based on a
patient’s signs and symptoms. • Key terms are boldfaced in the
text and are defined in the glossary section. With a full-color
presentation and more than 280 photos and illustrations, the text
takes a systematic approach to acute and emergency care, with the
content divided into two parts. Part I provides critical
information on prevention and risk management strategies, including
developing an emergency action plan, conducting an emergency
examination, and administering emergency medications. Part II then
provides the basics of emergency evaluations, describing how to
examine, treat, and manage common acute injuries and illnesses to
limit the severity of these potentially life-threatening
conditions. To aid instructors using Acute and Emergency Care in
Athletic Training in the classroom, there is a full array of
ancillaries, including a test package, an instructor guide with
sample answers to the case study questions, and a presentation
package plus image bank. When an athlete is injured on the field of
play, time is of the essence. Acute and Emergency Care in Athletic
Training is an invaluable resource for training and preparing the
initial responders to recognize critical situations and treat the
acutely injured or ill patient.
