This text book which I used for a nursing course is an absolutely outstanding book. I had rented it, but have now purchased it because it is a keeper. I know that my studying the content has improved my knowledge and clinical skill level exponentially.

This was a very helpful book for assessments. It tells you exactly what to do and is a very visual book. There are many pictures to help with the correct placements for the assessments and it even tells you which findings are normal and which are not. I really liked the way that the book is organized. Complete system assessments make up a chapter such as " cardiac, gastrointestinal..ect" the book even includes questions as the end of the chapters to help evolve your critical thinking. I needed this book for class but I am keeping it even after ad a reference to look back on.

This is my very first purchase of an eBook; and I love it! If I have to search for a topic; there's a section for that, and it brings up the different page numbers, definition, and so much more. The book itself is good, but I'm still stuck on all the things I can do with the electronic book! 5 stars from me!!!

This book is easy to follow and easy to read.I had to have it for a class. We only used 3 or 4 chapters and the rest of the book went unread. If I would have had more free time (something a nursing student never has) I may have taken the initiative to finish the book because of the good info and how easy it was to read. It does seem to go on and on on some of the more simplistic topics.

Due to circumstances, I was forced to get the kindle version even though i prefer the physical text. I found the ebook version still usable and sometimes convenient. I'm still able to highlight and do all the typical textbook uses for it. Would recommend getting the textbook but that is personal preference I suppose.

Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing...very complete manual...covers everything I think...even cultural competency. Authors have gone to great pains to make sure that chapters contain an interesting layout and the whole layout is understandable. Book came on time when ordered from .com and was in good condition. Just what I needed for school. Thank you.

This book is very well organized. The orange section is the health assessment, purple is the focused interview and the green is teaching. I went from Chapter 1 through Chapter 28 in my summer NUR 307 class. I am keeping the book. It is a great investment.

great book to have when entering medical field classes. Gives vital step by step instructions for assessments ranging from taking vital signs, to assessing nerve reaction/functionality
