The vocabulary was a great review of terminology and made introduction to nursing/health assessment easier because of the defintions of the terminology. The questions in the back were also good practice questions to test your knowledge.
This was only mildly useful. I purchased this as a required book for the Indiana State LVN-BSN program and didn't find anything in it I couldn't get out of the text book. But if you want a few practice questions per chapter you need it. I stopped using it half way through the semester.
This workbook complements the textbook nicely. It includes a list of terms with definitions at the beginning of each chapter, multiple choice questions, diagram to fill out, and additional exercises.
I LOVE Jarvis in general as the baseline for Physical Assessment. I bought this book to see if it would be useful as an adjunct to the health assessment course I am teaching; it was not as useful as I would have guessed. I think the information at the end of each chapter in her text will give you as much or more.
I was required to buy this for class but we hardly even used it. Not one page. I started using it when I found out it had study guide sections but the study guides really aren't that great. Now it just sits on my shelf, I don't even bother with it anymore.
This is a very basic text. May not be adequate for those with more than average knowledge of assessment such as doctors, PAs, NPs, and student nurses. The material is clear and it may serve as a basic introduction to the Physical exam.
This book is an amazing book for lab and preping you for tests. I forgot to get this when purchasing all of my othe books and when I ordered it the book was literally at my door the next day. Thank you
Won't order from this company again. The item was described as good with minimal use. But it's more like acceptable with a lot of use. This is a lab work book with pen writings all over it. I have to use this book for Nursing school! What a waste of time and money. Won't be ordering from them again.
