The Kindle version did not come with the access codes for the online portion of the class. After I spoke with the customer service rep for 40 minutes, I was told that the hard cover does but not the Kindle version. You need the access codes. I have no idea what they are thinking by not including them. The digital version is not cheap, it should have them.
This book has many many discrepancies, so it is very important you double check with your instructor all the data!
Never in my life have I owned a textbook so full of errors. Really, the author and editors should be ashamed. I am normally one to keep my books forever, but I cant wait to dump this one.

Its a great book with lots of detailed info about full assessments. Good for nursing.
Received just as stated, wouldn't mind doing business with you in the future
Brand new with awesomely fast delivery. Would purchase again.
Product arrived in great shape and as promised.
