I am an RN and found this book to be extremely helpful! It is easy to read and follow - even for the layperson. It has helpful diagrams. I have read many medical books about fluid and electrolytes and found this book the most helpful and easiest for me to understand. I now feel as though I truly understand how the body reacts to different fluid and electrolyte levels and how it compensates for the loss. Prior to reading this book I had the basic knowledge that I learned in nursing school but still had trouble relating this to certain disease states & deficiencies. This book explained in detail how the body uses certain electrolytes - for example potassium, I now understand what happens to other body systems when their is an excess or deficit of potassium and how other body systems are affected by this change. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about fluid and electrolytes!!

I am an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and ACLS Experienced Provider (ACLS-EP) Instructor and use this book in my classes. It is a great book to teach electrolytes, and is very clear. I am also an Excelsior student, and this book was essential for Nursing Concepts 2 test. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing this book if you plan on taking NC2 or ACLS-EP. If you are ever confused about why you have electrolytes infusing, this book is clear and to the point.
Great For Nursing Students! October 2, 2002

This book helped me get through Pathophysiology. When you are learning about Fluids and Electrolytes, it really breaks it down into an easier to understand format. The quizzes and questions at the end of the book are also helpful. They do not only give you the correct answer but also tell you why it is correct. I would reccommend it to any nursing student, even if your program does not require Patho!
Wonderful book. Got an A on my test! December 19, 2004

This is a wonderful book. Fluid & Electrolytes is a very complex subject and this book was able to simplify and reiterate important topics. The book went over essential topics such as electrolyte imbalances, acid-base imbalances, fluid shifts and made it interesting to learn all at the same time. I highly recommend this book to nursing students.
