Excellent book September 4, 2002 36 out of 37 found this review helpful
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.
Wonderful book. Got an A on my test! December 19, 2004 A nursing student 19 out of 19 found this review helpful
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.

Excellent Book! June 28, 2002 Shawna Kopchu (usa) 31 out of 31 found this review helpful
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!!
A great aid in learning.... December 27, 2006 L. Burrell (St. Louis, MO) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
There are many different types of learners, and while my text was often hard for me to understand, these books have been great "helpers"....often I would read the text, come to these books, then go back to my text and have an "Aha" moment....I highly recommend this and the Pathophysiology book at this point in my education...
