Reviews

...explores the subject through the eyes of an imaginary student, leading readers through the material in different scenarios, facilitating reflection and application of concepts. Images are relevant and enhance understanding. The authors might consider in the future what an excellent resource the book could be for exploring interprofessional conflict and principles. ...This is an excellent resource for entry level nursing students on how behavior influences human choices and care. -Gretchen Schumacher, PhD, GNP-C, FNP, NP-C, Michigan State University College of Nursing, Lansing, USA
