I need to take care of a husband who had a stroke. I took the nursing assistant course to help me. When there was no text, I bought this, and it has been and will be perfect. I used it as a review text in class, and I now use it as a reference when I need to brush up on a skill. Oh, I passed the registry examination easily.
