Looks good-I'm excited! This will help me get back into Med. Record Coding. Looks more interesting & accessible than the other book I ordered. Finally, a new book with all the perks- -like computer access! .com, authors, & the seller are terrific! Thanks a million!
This book isn't in-depth. It covers the basics, and the book does so in a way you can understand. It does not seem geared towards a class that requires a more extensive knowledge of pharmacology. This textbook is being used by my medical coding class to give us an overview of pharmacology. The chapters are relatively short.
Highly recommend this book for the LVN/LPN student entering school. Really helps with familarizing yourself with Drug Dose Calculations. Also, this book gives you an overview of the different drugs prescribed for different diagnosises. Awesome cross reference book!
I ordered the book for a pharmacology class. Delivery time was about average, I got it in time for my class. However, the first ten pages were all torn up like they went through a shredder. I had to keep the book, though, because like I said, I needed it for my class and couldn't wait to send it back and get another one.The book itself was good, useful detailed drug information on med safety, administration, classifications. It did the trick for me to get an A in this class.
Book was brand new when I bought "like new." I don't like the book itself...I personally like scenarios with different drugs. Regardless of the book however, would definitely go with this company again.
I really like the book. I got it in a timely manner and it is simply superb. I love this book, I am learning a lot from it. And it is easy to peruse through it for tests with hardly any hassle. Thank You :)
This book contains information as well as worksheets with answer keys. Very user friendly for the first time pharmacology student.
This is very good for any student. It is very easy to read and understand. The layout of the book and the presentation of the material is very consise. There are a lot of great examples of the material that is being covered.
