Laboratory Exercises for Competency in Respiratory Care



I didn't feel it correlated with my textbooks2
I felt like the assignments and questions inside this lab book were really difficult for me to do as a student because I couldn't find the information in any of the 3 textbooks we have. I didn't like the "illustartions" either. I would have preferred real photos.
