Excellent book in an outline format about Perianesthesia nursing. Especially like the information about a disease process and then application of that information to nursing practice in PAT, preoperative, postoperative, and teaching for extended recovery. Easily understood and broad coverage of diverse populations and physical systems.

Great book excellent review for for capa or cpan ànd a great refrence to have.

Great book for studying for the perioperative certification.

Holy wow. This book is completely outline, almost no pictures/diagrams/visuals. Very difficult to read, but I was expected to have it for CPAN review. There are 1,378 pages in it, so prepare for your mind to feel like mush. Great for reference, terrible for a slightly interesting informative read.

All in outline form. And a lot of information. But thorough.

Didn't care for the format

For my husband, preparing for his certification exam, great informations inside the book!
