5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the RN!!!, September 20, 2006

By	C. Lewis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Student Laboratory Manual for Physical Examination and Health Assessment (Paperback)

This Lab manual and text are an excellent pair! This text and lab manual are the best I have had in my years of nursing school. I guarantee you will want to hold on to this for the rest of your career! I only wish I had the text in my ADN program, sorry I had to wait to read it! The manual is a great practice and assessment tool!

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless busy work, February 2, 2009

By	M.G. - See all my reviews

If you aren't required to use this book for a class, don't bother getting it. The questions are very broad, and essentially involve copying large passages from the textbook. What makes it worse is that the space given for each question doesn't even accommodate this. Even if they expect you to write in a concise manner, it is near impossible to answer many of the questions in just 1 or 2 sentences.
Basically, this manual is just busy work that doesn't really help you study. Studying the textbook on its own is good enough!
