I got this book to study for my CNA license. The book covers much more than just information for your CNA license; from making beds to making a resume and everything in between. The pictures are black and white but you can still clearly see what is going on in them. I think that after I complete the book I will be more than ready to take my exam and have more medical knowledge than I bargained for, which is great!
Although the photos are in black and white, it's a pretty good textbook,even though i'm already a CNA, i like to read them to refresh my mind or to make quick reference, but there is one problem that i have with the textbook, i see that theres multible choice questions, but where are the answers? i believe i checked the whole textbook, but anyways for twenty five bucks its still good though.
This book is an excellent resource for students who are training to become CNA's, and/or are preparing for CNA certification tests. Professors of CNA courses..there is no other book to use!
