This review is from: Prentice Hall Health Outline Review for the Medical Assistant (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

A couple of items in one chapter were incorrect and I was a bit confused about the correctness of the statement and facts. Otherwise, not a bad choice of workbooks. It is a required item for the online course I registered to take.
