Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) No Review To REport [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Unfortunately I ordered this product on May 10 my class started on May 27 and still no book. I have not even received the book. I received the diet analysis cd but that's it. I have submitted a claim.2) Good Conditions [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The book has no damage when I received it. And the price is decent for a new book. Thank you!3) half an advertised product... [Rating: 2 out of 5]
The book itself is fine, however the access code is no good and when you contact the company for help, they never respond to your email. If all you need is the text book, go ahead. However, if you are taking this course on-line like I am it's essentially useless with a non-working code.4) Awesome!!! Thanks!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Thank you so much for this wonderful item. It was in great shape and very useful!!5) It's, well, easy to digest. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
All jokes aside, while students may gripe about having to shell out the bucks for this textbook, it is well worth the money. I've got an earlier edition and have used it a lot in the past. I found the later editions to be very up to date and quite useful as a reference for some of the clinical questions I encounter while working with patient education issues. In the days of picky insurance reimbursement, it's vital that all the stuff we do be based on sound clinical information showing that what we do is indeed effective.Easy to understand, and a well laid-out text with many good illustrations, there's a good reason why it's a standard in the field. Can also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for people who have trouble sticking to a healthy diet. After all, what good is nutritional advice if no one is motivated enough to follow it?
