 Fluides & Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy!
ABGs(arterial blood gases) and how electrolytes affect diffusion/osmosis and overall homeostasis are topics that need indepth consideration. We often don't get enough time/opportunity to consider in standard classes. This book really promotes a thorough knowledge base because it explores small bytes in simple ways. Just slowly working through the book's content little by little when I have time has given me a much more confident understanding and affects my grasp of so many other necessary topics as well -- drug physiology and signs and symptoms, physical assessment analysis, corresponding pathophysiology and stage in disease or recovery. This book has helped me become established in one of the more important bases of clincial understanding and care.

Fantastic Book for BSN ( sapphire-dreams )
This book is really helping me understand what should have been learned in basic nursing classes. It is easy to read and comprehend, and it's not too wordy like some textbooks. I've just graduated, and I felt like I didn't really understand fluids and electrolytes. I want to be an outstanding nurse, and I also want to pass the NCLEX on the first time around. This book has already helped me with both!

Wonderful Book
I am currently in my first semester of Nursing School and found the book extremely helpful. Seeing that I had an upcoming test that was focused on electrolytes and acid base balances, I, along with the rest of the class, freaked. We all ran to the book stores and purchased books. This was the only book I purchased and, along with Saunders NClex Review Book, I scored a 96 on the exam- the highest in the class and the highest grade for me ever while in Nursing School. I didn't read the whole thing, maybe to page 190 or so. It sounds like alot, but there are many charts and graphs and helpful tips (with big print) to help you along the way. Plus, I have a feeling this won't be the last time reading it. I highly recommend this book as it tells you exactly what to look for (abnormal assessments) of patients with hypokalcemia, etc. I plan to get the other "...Made Easy" books as I need them. Thumbs up!!

 Fluids and Electrolytes made incredibly easy.
I'm a first semester RN student, and I wanted this book to use along with my required text, as I've heard that this topic can be exceptionally hard. I believe that it paid off, my score was a 92% when it came down to taking the test. I was hoping for more illustrations and perhaps more learning aids, such as pneumonic devices, but overall not a bad book!
