cliff's notes for the textbook

Excellent for when you need the information and don't want to read an entire chapter to find it out. I call it the Cliff's note's version of the textbook. All major diagnosises are included, their etiologies, assessments, diagnostics, and treatments. Useful in clinical.

Awesome book!

This book is so helpful. I have the big textbook version but this is so much easier to take with you to clinical or where ever and be able to quickly look something up. I love this book! Definitely recommend this to anyone who has the main texts.

BUY THIS BOOK

LEWIS IS THE HARDEST BOOK TO READ, BUT THE LEWIS CONPANION IS SO EASY TO READ. JUST LOOK UP THE MEDICAL PROBLEM AND READ EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. I GOT THIS BOOK IN MY 2ND YEAR OF NURSING AND I WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND IT THE FIRST YEAR.

A Survival Guide!

This was a fantastic book! I call it the "Cliff Notes" version of the textbook. If you're having trouble with the amount of assigned readings in your textbook, I highly recommend you get this book. My whole class is jealous that I got this book because they had to wait months for their copies.

Great for writing pathophys cards

Give quick resource for pathophysiology cards for preparation in medical conditions and surgucal procedure. LISTs etiology, clinical manifestations, pathophys, diagnostic tests and theraputic management. A must for preparing for clinicals.
