The Third Edition of Beasley’s Understanding A Practical Approach retains the popular 5-step approach to EKG interpretation and straightforward presentation of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology. It is a perfect for the courses in EMS, nursing, cardiovascular emergencies, and monitor tech training. This new edition contains more than 300 review questions as well as review strips at the end of each chapter to allow for learning reinforcement. New to this edition are Key Points to Remember and a Heart Rate Calculator, which together emphasize and expand upon core material in the text. Assuming no prior EKG knowledge, this Third Edition remains an ideal resource for EKG interpretation in it simplest and most understandable context.
The chapters were short, straight to the point, and concluded with multiple choice questions as well as rhythms to analyze. This was a very engaging book, and it was a wonderful review that has made me more confident in approaching patient EKGs.
Very simple and straightforward for learning the basics of EKGs. Would highly recommend for nursing and medic students when first learning how to interpret EKG strips.
