Addresses issues by category, e.g. what to work up with complaint of nausea, pain, chest pain. It is a good skeleton for guiding you through what to think about. Not comprehensive, you will still need to look up drug doses, or specific medications.

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2011

Pretty good, but it often leaves you wanting more treatment info. Waste a lot of time with stuff you don't need to know and gets a little off track being complete to describe disease processes or "questions to ask." I was hoping it would have more - first give 500mL NS bolus and if no improvement try x y or z
