I purchased this book to study for the NCLEX in nursing school and it proved very very helpful. And I reciently used it for studying for the Medical-Surgical Certification exam. I am so glad I kept this book, i have gone through it many times and it's very helpful. I especially like the pre & post tests, along w/ study material. THE BEST!

This review is from: Fluids, Electrolytes, & Acid-Base Balance: Reviews & Rationales (Prentice Hall Nursing Reviews & Rationales Series) (Paperback)

After completing questions at end of chapter, I used the computer disc to retake the quizzes. Questions were the same, but not the answers. A little confusing for someone preparing for a F&E test or studying for NCLEX.
