The content of the book is wonderful. It took me awhile to get the concept but when I did, it was easy sailing from there! The pocket card that came with the book has been invaluable. It's easy to take with you on the floor and when evaluating a patient's lab work.

I received my book very promptly in like new condition. I seriously doubt if anyone had ever even thumbed through it prior to my receiving it. The book is very concise, yet thorough, with an added bonus of a strong plastic reference card that can be carried in your pocket. I especially was pleased with the pages of exercises that will help solidify the knowledge. I have not yet completed the book, but already it has helped to increase my knowledge of blood gas analysis. Mary Bain, R.N.
