5.0 out of 5 stars Essential guidelines, April 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Guidelines in Family Practice 3rd Edition (Paperback)

"Clinical Guidelines in Family Health" is a great tool for the NP or NP student. It contains research backed protocols for managing various problems in the primary care setting. This book served as the core text in my introductory clinical course as a NP student and was considered an essential reference tool by staff and students alike.

This book is an essential clinical reference for both NP students and practicing NPs. It is organized in an easy to use format. It contains up-to-date information on diagnosing and managing common illnesses seen in both children and adults. It also contains thorough information on health promotion. I would recommend this book to all students and new clinicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable Reference Tool, March 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Guidelines in Family Practice 3rd Edition (Paperback)

As a nurse practitioner student, things were much easier once I discovered this reference. As a new graduate nurse practitioner, I KNOW I couldn't survive without this reference. With the focus on evidence-based practice, a provider MUST follow true, tested, approved guidelines to stay up-to-date and free of trouble! Worth every dime and then some.
