Rating: - Aided successful semester
I bought this book at the request of my 26 yr old son because it was recommended by his professor during his ob/gyn clinical rotation in nursing school. He told me he used the book to help complete his assignments and it was easy to use and had quality information. Yeah!!!He passed the semester with flying colors. Grateful Mom
