This review is from: Fluids and Electrolytes with Clinical Applications (Paperback)

I didnt find exactly what I was looking for in this book. I wanted a breakdown of Fluids and Electrolytes so I could grasp the concept a little better. This book seems to be a good one for AFTER that concept has been mastered. It is loaded with questions that would be a great study guide, however, it lacks in information needed to arm you with the knowledge to ANSWER those questions. I will need to find addtional source to help me master those concepts before I start to tackle the review questions. SO, all in all, LOTS of questions, very little information.

This is our required text for our pathophysiology class. It is organized in a easy to follow format and full of valuable tables.

This review is from: Fluids and Electrolytes with Clinical Applications (Paperback)

This book maybe helpful but just not for me. The format is weird. You get a bookmark to cover up the answers and you read the book and as you go you "fill" in the answers. This is weird to me because I cheat. I don't force myself to read and think about the answers because the answer is next to the paragraph.

Another irritating thing about the format is the their is no information before the "fill in the blank". It isn't formatted so you read a paragraph and fill in the blank with the answer, you fill it in as you are seeing the information for the first time.

Overall, Not helpful.
