I liked how this book was written. It was clear and concise. However, I wish the book had more information on burn care and that the procedures were taken out of the book in order to fit more room in for information. The procedures are included in the workbook, so why is there a need for them to be in the textbook?

This is the worst text book I've ever had to read. It is full of incomplete sentences and is terribly written. I can't believe after 4 editions it has not been corrected. The sad thing is that it is the recommended text for LNA training throughout the US.
