About this title

Review:

-- "Presented in a clear and concise manner and accomplishes all of the objectives for learning that are set in the beginning of the chapter; also, it's focused on the pharmacy technician and not the nursing student, so thank you for that!" -- "The text is well done, accurate, tight, clear, and appropriate for pharmacy technician students."
