Reviews for Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing Practice

The QR codes in this book are great, very easy to use and give immediate online access to the material that you are studying. I just scan and have the videos playing on my phone and can link it to the page of the book that I am working through with no confusion. -- Louise Ormond, Nursing Student, University of West Scotland The book is very informative and gives you detailed insight into the topic. The QR codes were easy to scan and the videos came up very quickly after scanning. The QR codes allow you to look further into the topic and because you are using a device and the paper copy of the book, you are able to look at the book and watch the video at the same time. -- Katy McWilliams, Nursing Student, University of West Scotland I like this book is because it sets out each of the chapters into four components, it gives you the key concepts that you′re gonna be covering and the learning outcomes. The main reason I love it is because it comes with a matching revision colouring book that allows you to learn in a slightly more relaxing way. -- Chloe
