Medical Dosage Calculations (9th Edition) Review

Medical Dosage Calculations (9th Edition)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We used this book at my college for our math class. Did the publishers or editors actually read this book? In every chapter, and I mean literally, EVERY chapter, the example problems had typos in them. There were numbers in the calculations that even my math instructor could not figure out where they pulled it from. And don't bother to try to check your work with the answers in the back of the book... in every chapter, our class (and instructor) found at least 3 problems that had the incorrect answer listed in the back.
I would love to know how the people who have created this book (as this is the 8th edition) have managed to not have this book pulled and not used from schools due to the inconsistencies. It was a miracle that my class made it through this semester having to use this book.
I would not recommend it to anyone, except maybe an editor.

Love the online access that comes with the book; just type in your drug and voila, you have your info. The book is very easy to use compared to other drug guides. Instead of just having actions and intended uses, this book has therapeutic effects--my Mosby's 2010 did not have this, nor was it easy to sift through.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have always really enjoyed the Review & Rationale series but this was the first book that fell a little short for me. I am not giving this book a bad review because it is a good book; it is organized, clear, and easy to understand. This book probably would have been more helpful to me when I was in nursing 101 or Med/Surg. I purchased this book during my final semester in nursing school while taking a critical care class. Most of the medications I learned about in critical care were not covered in this book which I didn't realize when I made the purchase. I spoke with another nursing student in my class who also has this book and she agreed: OK book but not a favorite. I don't exactly know why but I always reach for other references first before looking at this book. Perhaps one should look through a copy of this book before buying it to make sure it fits your specific needs.

This book was a tremendous help to me in nursing school. It is a must keep even though I have taken and passed the NCLEX. I love it's use of the terms and explaination of care plans giving you an easy step-by-step planning method. It did take a little while to learn how to use it and how to look up things, but I love the diagrams and use them often as references in my work.

Human Diseases: A Systemic Approach (7th Edition) Review

Human Diseases: A Systemic Approach (7th Edition)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used this text for a pathology undergraduate course, along with a more complex text (Concise Pathology by Lange). The Mulvihill text did not solidify the concepts; rather, it skimmed over the topics in a cursory manner without giving each topic the attention it needs. A good book for someone with little background in the health sciences, but not enough for anyone who needs something more comprehensive. One plus in this book are the charts at the end of each chapter, which categorize diseases by signs and symptoms, treatment, etc.

This book presents the basic principles of human disease, organized by human organ system. It provides practical information for both health career and non-professional readers—unlike other books, which are generally too high level or specialized for this purpose. Newto this edition are:new diagnostic tests and lab procedures; enhanced coverage in treatment and diagnostic sections in disorders to include common treatments and general pharm options; increased coverage of disease statistics, prevalencies, risk factors for diseases and conditions; addition of prevention and aging to Diseases at a Glance table at the end of each chapter; A new page will be added at the end of each chapter which walks the readers through the multimedia resources that are available for each chapter; and much more!

Prentice Hall's Reviews & Rationales: Comprehensive NCLEX-RN(R) Review Review

Prentice Hall's Reviews and Rationales: Comprehensive NCLEX-RN(R) Review
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have 8 NCLEX-RN review books and this is my favorite. This is a very comprehensive review of what they taught in Nursing school, so it seems overwhelming at first. But, it has a great feature--the content that shows up in NCLEX tests most often is highlighted with an exclamation point in the margin. So, you can review the content with the exclamation points and feel fairly confident that you're studying what usually shows up on the test. This is also a great book to have while in school. For example, after you study Cardiovascular disorders in theory, you can review the Cardio disorder chapter and the Cardio pharmacology chapter. Each chapter has a section of NCLEX-style questions with rationales, so you get good experience answering NCLEX-style questions while you're in school. There is a separate section of pharmacological and parenteral therapies that is wonderful. If you just need to brush-up on meds, you can go to this section. Some of the pharmacology chapters are: Dosage Calculations, Peds Dosage calculations, IV therapy, Blood Therapy, TPN, Maternal and newborn meds., psychiatric meds., respiratory meds., Cardio meds., etc. I've read that NCLEX tests ask more pharmacology questions now, so I appreciate these medication-specific chapters. The tables and charts are also very concise and complete. All-in-all, this book was easy to read and has everything (content-wise) that you need. I haven't taken the NCLEX-RN test yet, but did well on the HESI predictor test that they made us take right before graduation. I know that as a nurse, I will also use this Reviews and Rationales book to review content that I'm starting to forget. Definitely worth the money--probably the best Nursing book I've bought.

Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests with Nursing Implications (7th Edition)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just purchased the updated version of this book since mine has become very outdated since I graduated from nursing school seven years ago... This book does a great job of outlining the basics of what various tests are looking for, normal results, and what abnormal results could indicate. It also tells you pre-test and post- test nursing considerations. The book is divided into sections of laboratory tests and diagnostic tests, so you can easily flip to a section to find what you're looking for.
The book is better at lab tests; the informaiton on imaging studies and such isn't as helpful. For instance, a DEXAscan was not included in this version and I've had difficutly with other tests as well.
Overall, great reference material which I refer to often.
