This book effectively explains mental health problems, causes, treatments, and how to care for patients with mental health issues. The information is easy to read and understand. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone working in a SNF/LTC.
It is a simple read that really breaks the content down to the core. Easier to understand and a sure thing to have if you want to pass any test about mental health.
My instructor integrates a lot of the end of chapter quizzes into our daily assignments, so that's pretty helpful. It's so easy to study out of. Love the way it's formatted.
I brought it for my class it is very informative, i have enjoyed it
Very fast shipping from ! Item arrived as described. Great book! All evolve products are wonderful. This book was very helpful in class, plus the online extra practice is wonderful also.
I love that it came in a day early from what the original delivery date was and that the book was new. It was just what I needed for school and just when I needed it.
Perfect, what else can I say!!!
My book was missing two chapters and it put me behind in my class. I don't think I will be buying used books again. Everything else was just okay.
