The step-by-step approach to skills training makes this text both a great quick reference and an in-depth teaching tool. Ample original photographs and illustrations are used to clarify the steps in the performance of each skill. Each chapter ends with "Testing Your Knowledge" review questions and skill practice sheets to reinforce the learning experience.
