4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and detailed book on examination
Reviewed in the United States on 26 September 2009

This book has lots of good review and gives detailed instruction on examination techniques. The book starts with health history and then proceeds head to toe and ends with documentation. The writing is easy to read and there are enough illustrations to get the information across. I like the spiral binding so the book can lay flat while open. This is helpful when you are practicing on someone and want the book open for instructions.

I have no idea why the word "rapid" is on the cover. The bulk of the book seems to be more along the lines of thorough yet efficient rather than rapid. There are some places where emphasis is place on speed.

I honestly never used this book!! Can't believe I actually wasted my money. It's a decent book, but all of the information can be found in all the other books that we actually really needed for class. The only thing that this book had that my other ones didn't was a BMI chart. Don't buy this book unless your professor is going to assign homework out of it!
