My copy is used constantly for review. I update in margins since this is a 1997 copy and some changes in management have occurred. It is still a good reference Bible that I use daily.
I wanted to get this book really badly to help me out as an FNP student, and as a great study aid for the boards, but I saw that the newest edition is pretty pricey and I can't afford too much more on books than i've already spent, so I bought the older edition. Very glad I did, all the information is basically the same, and laid out in a really great format! It has everything you need, practice algorithms for things like treating diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc., practice guidelines for acute presentations of illness, formulating differential diagnoses, common labs and diagnostic testing to order such as radiography and other tests, interpretation of these tests and labs and then also algorithms to help you decide when and how to appropriately refer your patients on. I love this book already and it is possibly the best purchase I have made as an FNP student so far!!If you found my review at all helpful to you, it'd be wicked awesome if you'd tap the "yes" button below, thanks so much!
I actually got online to see if there was a newer publication (found only 1997 one at first - hope they correct that) mine is 2004 - this is a very valuable book for me, simple, to the point but great ideas on so many things. I keep it as a tool for my every day practice and write notes in it - patients love it when I show it to them and the "list" of interventions - to make sure we don't miss something. I still have my larger books but they don't make the examroom! This is a wonderful book and a great resource for a quick look. D. Rogers, ARNP
The strength of this book is in its simplicity and that it provides a good review for anatomy / physiology. I used it to review for the FNP exam and found it to be a keeper on my shelf, next to other primary care across the lifespan books.
LOVE this book because it is concise, although it certainly does not provide the level of detail or range of diagnoses that you would find in other sources. LOVE it just the same. Have worn out several editions.
HEENT, in particular, leaves something to be desired. Not as straight foward as similar publications. Not comprehensive enough. Pricey.
