Review :
"All healthcare workers will find this book relevant, from healthcare assistants seeking information on normal physiological signs to experienced practitioners seeking guidance on the interpretation of blood results. It will be particularly useful for those who are newly qualified, returning, or undergoing supervised practice. As an educational tool, it will also support learning in practice and practitioners who are mentoring. Overall this is a useful text in an accessible format." - Nursing Standard "Students and nurses will find it helpful and easy to use - Invaluable." - Nursing and Midwifery Council "As well as being a reliable reference guide that promotes best practice care, this pocket book is also a handy time saving tool..." -Nurse Education in Practice "The updated Second Edition of this clinical pocket reference is easy to use, with clear understandable text.

It would be useful for students... or qualified nurses needing a refresher. This is an essential tool for nurses and nursing students to use as a quick flip guide to the most common problems." - Nursing Standard
