BONNIE BERGSTROM – YOU are the superstar on my winning team of authors in this 3rd edition. You stepped into the picture at midstream and added your editing expertise and gave of your very special kind of nurturing when we were all under time pressure with manuscript deadlines. You are one-of-a-kind and I'm deeply grateful!

BERTA STEINER and the Bermedica Production, Ltd. staff (including Megan Westerfeld, the copyeditor)—You were invaluable in helping me maintain a vigilant eye for quality control—finding gaps and inconsistencies, and giving shape and form to a complicated manuscript during stops and starts in the editorial process. Above all, you were there for me and my co-authors—we worked as a team.

BOB BUTLER—You were there for me as a conduit in the F.A. Davis communication chain. Your support served as a beacon for decisions in putting my ideas into print.

BOB MARTONE—You contributed important ideas to make this 3rd edition the best yet for visual emphasis, with unique features that are designed to help the user be successful in nursing school exams and NCLEX-RN^®.

A special personal thank you also to NEIL KELLY and ROB CRAVEN, whose support for this resource over the last eight years and three editions made it a happy "happening." Contacts along the way with each of you went beyond the ordinary and are much appreciated.
