5.0 out of 5 stars BOUGHT WRONG BOOK BUT GLAD OF IT
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2010
Verified Purchase
Everyone in my class bought the 4th edition of this book. However, the material is very similar despite the chapters being slightly off. Somethings in the 4th edition were given their own chapter. However, the 3rd edition has just as much current and up to date information. If you want a cheaper version of a new edition this book may be a low cost option for anyone low on cash who wants to start a CNA program or even study for the exam on their own. Very thorough and informative.

I purchased this off Amazon a while back. I used this as well as some other materials and was able to pass my class. When it came time for my state exam I completed the computer portion in half the allowed time with more than 90 out of 100 questions answered correctly.

I know I was buying a used book, however I did not expect to see all the pencil markings throughout the book. I have compared it with other used books in my class and those books are in better condition compared to the one I purchased and the price is the same.
Disappointed because of my expectation on things I buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect CNA instruction
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2011

If you are taking the CNA Class for certification this is very helpful. It comes with a CD but I haven't listened to it so I'm not sure what is on it. Most colleges don't ask you to buy the workbook with this book so if you are shopping, this will be all you need unless instructed differently.

This is an excellent publication which I would recommend highly to anyone either considering or already studying to become a HCA or similar. A 'bible' to dip into continuously to update knowledge.
