Medical Dosage Calculations (9th Edition) Review

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.

Medical-Surgical Nursing Care Plans: Nursing Diagnoses and Interventions (3rd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests with Nursing Implications (7th Edition) Review

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(More customer reviews)I just purchased the updated version of this book since mine has become very outdated since I graduated from nursing school seven years ago...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.
