DESCRIPTION:
David Lee said Clinician's Critique: Acute Care Handbook for P. T.. Congratulations to the authors of this valuable reference text! The Acute Care Handbook is, first of all, anything but a "handbook" in the traditional sense. It is lengthy and detailed, qualities which would make a more leisure-oriented read a sure bet for the bedside table. But, this useful book is not for dozing through. Rather, it makes for much easier quick searches or in-depth reviews of most topics critical to effective acute care physical therapists.Two brief observations that might strengthen the utility of this reference book: First, a chapte. "Easy to read and well organized!!" according to Book Nerd Pooks. I have many different books on this topic. All of these book lack organization and conciseness. The edition previous to this one was my favorite until I lend it to a colleague. Then I purchased this book. To my surprise, the book is well organized so much that I was able to read through most of the book in a couple of sittings. The appendices are well though out and appropriately placed. I recommend this book for any PT beginning a career in acute care and for PTs currently in acute care that need a reference book.. Devin Edvalson said Good easy to use handbook. Good easy to use handbook for the acute care setting. Needs more pictures to enhance its usefulness but overall a nice reference.
