Sheena S. Smith May 12, 2011
by Sheena H. Martenez

This textbook is excellent for teaching undergraduate nursing students gerontologic nursing, medical-surgical nursing or for integrating the content. It is also a good review and reference for practicing nurses. It's easy to locate pertinent information in each chapter with the headings and sub-headings. Unique! Nursing Process boxes provide quick and easy access to care information. I purchase my college textbooks through ecampus and the purchase is very smooth. The price is very suitable and the book arrived earlier than the delivery date and in a very good condition for a used textbook exactly as a described.
