Find this to be a great textbook to keep around for answering those periodic questions needing relevant information involving patient care issues. As to myself, I've always purchased the paper editions rather than the electronic versions for ease of accessing the large volume of material within and would recommend the same to others. A very good book and glad I held on to this one!
Thanks so much, I forgot I needed this book and found out the first day of class it was mandatory. Ordered it On The Spot, and it was here faster than the other books I had ordered 2 weeks earlier that hadnt arrived yet. Well worth Prime Membership.
This is the book to have if you have any questions about patient care. It has everything from patient transfers to fitting a patient for a wheelchair. I know I will be referring to the book when I become a license PT.
The copy I received did not have back cover on it. It was not advertised on the listing that the back cover was missing. Otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it. If I didn't need it for school right away, I would have sent it back.
This book was really useful in preparing me for the acute care setting. It was laid out nicely and easy to understand.
Not my favorite book, but not written too badly! What my class required so there's that. Some parts are difficult to understand and the pictures don't always match up, but overall it's a decent text.
Book showed up with back cover completely out of the binding. I had to undo the binding myself and reattach the cover. Terrible quality from seller. Very disappointed.
I would recommend this,arrived on time,nice price, does have its flaws but I don't really care.Any college student should rent this if needed.
