Books that are written by this trend are great for the LPN student. They have excellent study guides that really have you search out the information, and makes it easy to learn and retain information. I am using another med-surg textbook, actually, but, for maternal child nursing, my school used Introduction to Maternal and Pediatric Nursing by Gloria Leifer. Got an A because of the way information was worded and that fantastic study guide. Once I knew that they had a med-surg text, I immediately purchased it, although I only have one semester left. I got an A on my first exam, while most people used the required text and got Bs. Also consider purchasing Basic Pharmacology for Nurses in this thread. That particular one can be for RNs OR LPNs. You'll be ahead of the class, trust me!

i doubt proof reading was done. poor grammar, poor spelling, conflicting calculation

one chapter for example say aids is more a chronic sickness because 0% aids patient live 8 to 10 yrs. how can it be 0%. one section says inr is 2 to 3 another section says it is 2 to 4.5, one section says normal platelet count is 1400000 to 440000 next section says it 130000 to 330000 the list of conflicting info goes on and on. i have done medical studies before and this book will let you kill patient. IT IS MISLEADING DUMB BOOK. PLEASE SPENT TIME and GET the FACT STRAIGHT AND PROOFREAD.
THIS BOOK IS TOTAL TRASH AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKED AND REVISED .

The book was not as expensive as the other sites I went to. The book came much faster than I thought. It was brand new and well kept.

What an Awesome Book!! It is in Superior condition. Very Informative.
Thx so much.. CMc

This book is horrible, It states in chapter 3 pg 43 Edema is caused by body's ability to pass water and sodium to excrete has failed, which would be noticed for hypernatremia, but on pg 45 hyponatremia, the book basically says hyponatremia is the cause of edema. it says next paragraph on pg 46 that hypernatremia is results of dehydration, mentions nothing edema. i confirmed from google, hypernatremia is the cause of edema, limit salt intake and fluids, but the book says hypo and you limit fluids and sodium.
the instructors said there is lots of conflicts with this book, they are right.
It doesnt even mention Hyperkalemia tx kalexate causes stool to change color.
also, it mentions pancrease po but not mentioned you have to take with your food in Cystic fibrosis.
if your school uses this book, just know, they are setting you up to fail, you will notice your instructors using other sources if information, because Evolve sucks! i dont know anyone who passed nclex by using evolve text materials.

The book was used but in perfect condition! I received it quickly and it helped me tremendously with my school work. I would definitely use this seller again. Thanks again!
