4 out of 5 stars Great Textbook for Resource   September 25, 2008
This is a great textbook for any health assessment nursing course or for anyone who just wants to know more about the human body and its functions. I like the way each chapter is broken up into subjective and objective data as well as providing age appropriate information for each topic. There are great pictures and a CD that help to better understand the subject matter.


5 out of 5 stars Great deal!   February 24, 2008
I purchase this book for an online class and the price I got was $12 better than at the university bookstore!


5 out of 5 stars Finally...an easy-to-read nursing textbook!!   January 23, 2008
I absolutely love this book. It is so much easier to read than any of the other 50 or so textbooks I have weighing down my bookshelves.

I don't know if it's the un-fussy writing style, or the abundance of pictures that make it more interesting than others like it, but I will say that for once, I do not dread my reading assignments.

Thanks for such an interesting book!
(When I start my career, I will upgrade to the next edition for sure)




3 out of 5 stars Paying more for shipping does not provide better service.   November 1, 2007

After reading another review, I discovered a CD may not be part of the book I purchased. This is not good. The CD is part of the learning process and allows the student to assimilate the learnings from the book with the CD information. Also, I paid for 1 day fed. express shipping and the book did not arrive on the date expected.


3 out of 5 stars College student   October 7, 2007
This book does have good layout by using seperate chapters for the different systems and has abnormal findings with pictures in every chapter. But It is not detailed enough. I would sometimes find myself looking for more information because it doesn't go too much farther then describing something briefly. I would like to find a more detailed book but this is the one my nursing class required. And it has no glossary for definition of terms.
