Happy shopper, 2010-02-09
Needed this book for an on-line course. It arrived much quicker than expected. I live in a very rural area with few options to shop. It is reassuring to know you can get great service shoping the net.

Physcial Examination & Health Assessment, 5th Edition, 2010-02-01
This book is fantastic! I cannot give it enough praise. You can see the author really cares about what she is writing and imparting her vest wealth of knowledge to the reader. This is not your typical textbook. The subject matter is particularly interesting and combined with Ms. Jarvis' easy to follow style of writing, hours pass before you realize how much material you have covered and absorbed. I highly recommend this book to nurses, students and faculty alike as an invaluable took for sharpening your assessment skills and taking your patient care to the next level.

 physical exam & health assessment by Jarvis, 2009-11-15
The book itself is great - very informational and an easy read. However MY book (s) that I received from the seller both smelled of something rotten - either mold or bad glue. Actually after smelling horrible things (as a nurse for the past 20 years) to me they smelled of death or some other funk. Totally nauseating and unable to hold within 2 feet of my eyes so...I ended up ordering from a university library borrowing program to get thru my class - the only thing that saved me! Fortunately the seller was nice enough to refund my charges and told me to throw away the stinky books which I did.

Review of Jarvis Physical Examination and Health Assessment, 2009-10-12
This is a major reference book for a Health Assessment course I am taking. It is easy to read and develop study guides from it. I would recommend for a reference book for nurses.
