Happy with choice:
I had never ordered online before. It was quick and easy. I have learned a lot from this book. I'm happy I found it online for less money.
Poorly organized, and far too many typos:
Unfortunately, this is one of the few books on the subject of neonatal respiratory care. I found the book to be cumbersome and poorly organized. The book offers conflicting information on several topics, and there are far too many typos. It is also frustrating that the answers to post-chapter questions are not available. The book does contain a lot of information, but good luck finding it!
Resp Care:
The book has some good information in it. The only down side of the book is it does not have an answer key for review question and a workbook.
A good deal.:
I bought this book because it was required for a class I was taking, it was very specific and yet easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone who has the need to better understand the proper care of neonates. I was also surprised how cheaply I was able to purchase this book on Amazon. It was far more expensive on other sites and at the college book store.
