I used this as a resource all the time for a vast majority of my assignments. I love this book and for see myself using it even as quick, concise reference when I start practicing. It even offers patient teaching leaflets too that is simple and easy to read for patient education material. Review: AWESOME BOOK! A must have - Love love love this book!
