I am in my last semester of nursing school, and this book has been by-far the least helpful, most poorly written, error filled, contradictory piece of kindling I have laid eyes upon.
There are omissions of crucial information. There are contradictory statements, often within the same paragraph. Most recently the book explained that ammonia should be used to kill parasites. It mentioned that Lysol is one product containing ammonia. Lysol does not contain ammonia. Just one example of hundreds in this book.
Probably most importantly, this book uses advanced medical terminology without explaining or elaborating on it, making the chapters unreadable without constant clarification - and I have very high grades, so I doubt it's me. The entire class has complained. Most infuriatingly, the book often defines very simple terms unnecessarily, only to use a complex key term in the next sentence without any definition or hint. I find myself reading wikipedia to clarify the book. The best is when one chapter will contain statements contradicting another. That's because each chapter is written by different people, and for the huge price of this book, they couldn't properly proof-read and standardize it. It feels like reading the rantings of a lunatic. Even the organization of the material is a massive jumble in many of the chapters. This book is totally lacking polish.

good textbook. There charts are helpful for summarizing the information in the chapters as it can be a bit overhwelming trying to memorize everything!
