Family Practice Guidelines: Second Edition PDF
I am in my second year of an online FNP program, just beginning my clinicals. This book is an excellent source for writing history/physicals, case studies, looking for basic information for subjective data, follow-ups, referrals, etc. It is not an in-depth text but is crammed with a wealth of "basic" information on many diagnoses. It is not the "cheapest" book out there. For a text that is not required, the cost certainly has a bit of an "ouch" factor to it for over $70. But, it is worth the bite to took to my budget. I would recommend it! But if you are hesitating, take a look at it (it does have the "look inside" feature here on Amazon).By D. Frank
If you buy this book through kindle, there is no table of contents or way to search where to find a specific topic only by number and it does not give you page numbers. How do you possibly search topics. I had to return it and buy the paper back. This is a reference book but no was to reference what your looking for.By Shelly
