I was surprised by how much information is in this book! The information is put forth so it is easily understood with many great photos to help also! Each step in the nursing process is broken down and explained with reasoning why each step is needed. This book is a must have for beginning students. It will also help those going from aides to the nursing field. Learn the procedures the correct way the very first time and you'll have it made.
