This is the book to have if you have any questions about patient care. It has everything from patient transfers to fitting a patient for a wheelchair. I know I will be referring to the book when I become a license PT.

I received this book tattered and torn pages. The binding was loose and pages fell out after one use! Not happy with this purchase.
