A friend who was going through nursing school asked me to get this book for her. She was pleased with it,and said it helped her in her studies.
Good Supplement

The study guide does an adequate job at trying to touch upon subject matter in the text book and test you on that. But it is not a substitute for reading chapters. Overall I would recommend the study guide as a review to what was read in the text book.
