Get ready for your nursing school admission assessment, the Elsevier HESI® A2, with a complete, illustrated study guide covering every academic exam your nursing or allied-health program can assign: Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and General Knowledge, Grammar, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, and Physics. Each section teaches the tested concepts with worked examples, labeled diagrams, and quick-reference tables, then ends with the high-yield points to remember.
