If you don’t buy another health assessment book in the Nurse Practitioner program buy this one!! It is easy to use and has some great illustrations for derm terms that let’s face it everyone needs a refresher on now and then. It has been very helpful and I refer back to it frequently.

I found this book to be very helpful. Based on symptoms instead of disease, which was easier to understand and help formulate differential diagnoses in clinical practice.
