This book and the study guide were required for my school of nursing. This book was very, very helpful for both pediatric nursing course and my maternal-child course. It helped so much with all homework assignments and careplans. The way each topic is broken down and labeled is extremely "user friendly". Each illness/disease has a nursing diagnosis as well as nursing interventions. Well worth the $ it cost. I highly recommend. :)

The study guide work book is okey. I've only read a few chapters on the actual txt book and doing the study guide really helps because it summarizes the content of the txt book. I recommend this study guide work book for both OB and Peds.

Mostly general information. I had a hard time finding some of the information that I needed. Honestly, I don't feel like I have gained a whole lot of studying out of this text. Some of the chapters were hard to understand.

This study guide makes up for everything that the text book lacks. I got the study guide in time for the 2nd exam and oh boy has it helped. I have recommended to all my fellow class mates to get this book.

This text is not only hard to find information you need, some of the chapters are hard to follow and read. The illustrations are good but information can be hard to come by. And talk about typos! Someone needs to proof read this text before it goes to the printer the next time.
Overall I think two stars is being very generous.
I am sure there is a better text to pick from.
