I believe that one of the greatest strengths of this textbook is the reflection of wellness? and caring (displayed by personal case studies). Throughout the text, reinforcement of the students' responsibility level is very dominant (as it should be), Skills are a major component with each body system and caring can be seen with positive behaviors.
