I found this text to be well organized. The instruction is straightforward and easy to follow. The short quizzes & FAQ's were particularly useful.

By Bob S.

The book is wonderful and organized well....BUT.....SLAM FULL OF TYPOS AND INCORRECT ANSWERS THAT MADDENED AND FRUSTRATED CONFUSED AND WASTED PRECIOUS TIME! Someone needs to do some major proofreading and editing! I found mistakes on page after page...in the text portion and the answer keys. I almost want my money back......As a nursing student studying drug calculations for the first time, I expect my texts to be 'gospel'.
