Jarvis' book is compact, colorful, relates the basics to the nursing diagnosis, and does so with a "window" style format that is color coded. No long narrative paragraphs. Highlights that are usable, quick, easy to look up, and reference. The book is small enough to fit into your pocket, bag, purse, or laptop case on top of the 17" traveling computer. Head to Toe assessments, broken down, what it means, what you look for, how it relates to nursing diagnoses. Quick, easy,userfriendly, portable. Meets the need for balancing work, quick study, and travel requirements all in one place. Good memory jogger.

This is very convenient to have on hand if you need a quick review over a particular assessment. It is broken down by system and gives some examples of abnormal findings as well as common related nursing diagnoses. The last chapter has a complete head-to-toe assessment. This is much easier to carry around than a textbook. I wish I had found it during my first semester of nursing school, it would have helped out a lot more then. I don't use it a lot now, but I'm definitely holding on to it for quick reference.
