"This book is worded in a such a manner that even those who are just beginning their nursing careers can understand the concepts. The workbook that comes with the book also is a great companion for learning the information. I highly recommend this text for other nursing schools. It sure has been a great asset in my plethora of nursing textbooks." A student of Abilene Intercollegiate School of Nursing, Abilene, TX
