"...I would recommend this as a useful text for undergraduate nursing students and for clinical nurses. In particular, I think clinical nurse educators and clinical nurse specialists would find this a helpful resource for designing and evaluating patient instructional materials."

"I highly recommend this new textbook for academic faculty teaching about patient education to basic nursing program students and to master's students who have not been involved in patient education. Also, it would be excellent for hospital staff development persons. It is a valuable resource for my lectures. Especially Chapter Two by M. Janice Nelson, in which she includes 'Economics in the Education Process,' in addition to the ethical and legal foundations."

"While there are several books available on patient education, I am not aware of one that provides such an easy to read, quick reference. This book is a must for nursing students, novices, and anyone needing to refresh their patient education skills."
