Mosby's Comprhensive Review of Practical Nursing For NCLEX-P
This is a very detailed book with a lot of information! It gives rationales for every answer. The CD is also pretty good. It takes a second to go to the next page, but it also has rationales for every answer. The book also has charts and photos with details marked. I am now an LPN, and I practiced using this book and CD.

Pretty Good !
The CD-ROM is not designed to fill your whole monitor screen which is kind of upsetting,and there are videos that you cant hear at all.Other than that it'll serve its purpose.Buy it,and you will see what im talking about.!Goodluck!

Missleading Does not contain a CD-ROM
The book does not come with a CD ROM but rather a lacking a faulty floppy disk. Mosby's customer support 1-800-426-4545 is very non supportive and refuses to adjust this. ... Read more

A valuable asset
This book is a valuable reference for RNs, LVNs and nursing students.

It contains virtually all the information needed to come to a basic understanding of this complex topic. ... Read more

Book Description

This updated third edition not only offers a body systems approach with a strong emphasis on vocabulary and basic anatomy/physiology concepts, but it also presents the basic mechanisms of disease and pathologic conditions associated with each body system. Two unifying themes are integrated in this comprehensive text - the complementary nature of structure and function, and homeostasis. Homeostasis is used to show how "normal" structure and function are maintained, whereas failures of homeostasis are shown as basic mechanisms of disease. The reader is drawn into the subject by a clear, straightforward style, superior illustrations, and student-friendly features. Included FREE with the soft cover text is Body Spectrum - Mosby's Electronic Anatomy Coloring Book CD-ROM. ... Read more

A good intro to anatomy and physiology
This book is designed to be an introduction to A & P and it does that very well. I didn't give the book a perfect 5 star rating for a couple of reasons. First, I have a background in anatomy and found some of their explanations of a few body systems to be confusing even though I already knew the information. This was particularly true of their explanation of the Autonomic Nervous System. In general, most things are explained well and have a lot of really helpful accompanying figures and tables.

The only other thing that I don't particularly like is the way the pathology is integrated. I feel like it was a little to heavy on the disease end of things. This is really sort of a personal preference, I am not really a pathologist so I didn't feel the need to have that information. It just depends on your focus of study.

The thing I really like about the book is the review section at the end. First, there is an extremely helpful outline summary, which is really handy if you didn't understand something in the chapter. Second, there is a chapter test that can help you review and test what you learned.

The only shortcoming of the review section at the end is that it doesn't have all the key terms (in bold type throughout the chapter) listed. In my studying, I generally went back through the chapter page by page after reading it and wrote down each key term and its definition instead of using the list in the review section. Also, all the key terms that are in bold print are not in the glossary, which I think they should be if they are going to go out of their way to make them bold.

All in all, a good introduction. Definitely pick up the student study guide that is designed to go with this text, as it will definitely help you study. ... Read more
