5.0 out of 5 stars A practical and well-rounded guidebook for Home Health Care, February 25, 1999

This review is from: Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems (Hardcover)

This book I've subtitled "holding the bag" -- it is basically a text book for nurses, telling them how to deal with the patient after the doctor has left the room. It includes how to live with a diagnosis, a disease, and deal with the side-effects of a cure. It not only provides precise medical information, but includes psychological and 'daily-life' information as well. As it is designed for nurses, the vocabulary is technical, and the illustrations are graphic; if you really want to understand what the doctors just told you, this is the place to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reader Friendly~, February 28, 2003

This review is from: Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems (Book with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

This is the best med-surg book ever! I studied from several medical-surgical nursing books, but I used this one the most. This book is easy to understand, and straight-forward. Whenever I had to prepare a presentation on a new subject, I started with this book before reading any further. After I got some basic understanding of the subject, I moved onto books and articles filled with difficult-to-understand terms/concepts. Reading a med-surg book does not have to be a painful process no more!
