Great condition, honestly the book looked alot better than i thought it would. There was no torn pages just a couple of markings but they described all that in there description. Over all i give a A++++

A must read with older parents.

Again, a must read with older parents. I thought the book was great with the course taken, and reading the book beyond any lecture provided information. And being the son of a very old father, it gave me much insight into the needs and care for father.

Mosby's Textbook for Long-term care Nursing Assistants

I bought this book along with other recommended reference books for CNAs, and in my opinion this one is the best. It is absolutely a pleasure to read, easy to follow procedures, great color pictures and illustrations. Very user-friendly format. I was actually looking forward to study time using this book. I would also recommend the Workbook that supplements this textbook.

Mosby's Textbook for Long-term Care Assistants

As a teacher of nursing assistants, I find the book to be the most helpful. Easy reading, descriptive drawings for the procedures they must learn and practice. I am looking forward to an addition of a "student Workbook". Although this textbook does has excellent chapter reviews with practice questions and answers. The State exam is 100 questions long and this helps them with not fearing answering multiple choice questions.
