5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book,

This review is from: Assessment Made Incredibly Easy! (Incredibly Easy! Series) (Paperback)
This book was so helpful to the new nursing student. Prior to exams I would read the chapter related to the topic and always receive further clarification. The diagrams and examples always helped things make sense. Other classmates ran out to buy this also as well as the visual assessment guide. I have since purchased more of the Incredibly easy series books and have been very pleased.
