Customer Reviews:
it is okay.......2007-03-24
I think there needs to be a book that explains why the answer is that answer to go with this book. This book just has answers and questions in it. Great if you want to test your knowledge on it but not if you need a study guide. There isn't a study guide that i have found to go with this book yet if you have let me know..........
All inclusive, best overall review book.......2006-02-02
I am the Program Director for a Medical Assisting Program and highly recommend this book to all of my students. It has more questions than any other books I've used but the best part is that every question has a rationale/explanation. Not errors noted. I got a 729 (98%) on the CMA and I had a student that studied only from this book and got a 711 (97%.
Worst Review Guide Ever!.......2003-02-14
The CD-Rom that contains the extra tests does not work.
There is a known problem with the software, and there is no patch or support. You cannot use the practice tests, unless you are inclined to look up the answers for each of the 3 tests, at 300 questions per test.
When I called Prentice Hall, they basically said they were sorry, and hung up.
Book Description
Designed to provide learners with a foundation in medical law and ethics, this book uses case studies from actual legal procedures to illustrate key points of law, interpretation of statutes, as well as ethical dilemmas. This newly revised edition helps the medical office professional interact with the legal profession, recognize when they need legal advice, and protect their employers from medical malpractice complaints. In addition to understanding their rights as an employee, the rights of the patient are explored, as well.

Workplace Bullying: A Costly Business Secret
ASIN: 0415253594 |
Book Description
Over the last decade or so research into bullying, emotional abuse and harassment at work, as distinct from harassment based on sex or race and primarily of a non-physical nature, has emerged as a new field of study. Two main academic streams have emerged: a European tradition applying the concept of 'mobbing' or 'bullying' and the American tradition, primarily identified through concepts such as emotional abuse and mistreatment. One focuses on the perpetrator, the other on the victim. In addition, research in this field has also started in Australia and South Africa. All are brought together in this work, in a synthesis of research and analysis of practice in the field. Bullying and Emotional Abuse in the Workplace aims to document the existence and consequences of the problem of bullying, to explore its causes and to investigate the effectiveness of approaches aimed at mitigating and managing the problem, as well as to offer suggestions for further progress in this important new field.

Biomechanics Of Musculoskeletal Injury
ASIN: 0471246972 |
Book Description
From the reviews of the Second Edition:
"[This book] represents a distillation of the authors' combined years of experience in applying biomechanics in various industries and work situations . . . I recommend this book to anyone, regardless of discipline, who is interested in understanding the many biomechanical factors which must be considered when trying to effect the prevention and reduction of musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace." -Journal of Biomechanics.
"Impressive descriptions of biomechanical concepts and worksite considerations . . . based not only on mechanical and mathematical principles, but on solid anatomical and physiologic constructs . . . a very valuable reference source." -Research Communications in Chemical Pathology and Pharmacology.
Now in its third edition, this volume stands as the definitive text on occupational biomechanics-a science dealing with the physiological loads and stresses placed on the musculoskeletal system during physical work. It expertly weaves engineering and medical information from diverse sources and provides a coherent treatment of the biomechanical principles underlying the well-designed and ergonomically sound workplace. In this revision, the authors update the state of current knowledge in several key areas, including epidemiological support of occupational biomechanics, mechanical aspects of muscle actions during work, biomechanical models of exertions, postural-analysis methods, materials and load-handling evaluation methods, guidelines for various types of work, design considerations of VDT workstations, hand tools, and more.
Complete with 75 new illustrations and over 200 new references, Occupational Bio-mechanics is an excellent one-stop reference for students and professionals in industrial engineering, product and process design, medicine, and occupational health and safety.

Book Description
What would you do with three extra weeks each year? Travel? Relax? Spend more time with family and friends? Studies suggest that the average businessperson squanders some 150 hours-more than three workweeks-every year looking for things in his or her cluttered office or cubicle. Taking the time to organize is making time to enjoy the things you really love. In this book, the author of The Well-Ordered Home develops her step-by-step and amazingly easy program for clearing the clutter and making sense of the mess.
Where other books on office organization offer the same advice readers have heard a thousand times, this book cuts straight to the real, deeper reasons people become disorganized-an inclination to procrastination, a yen for perfectionism, a habit of being easily distracted. Drawing on her experience as an organizer and practicing psychologist, the author offers simple strategies for overcoming these issues once and for all. Readers will learn to organize information, make the most of electronic media, and handle interrupting phone calls, coworkers,and e-mails with confidence and grace. Readers who practice these simple techniques will instantly enjoy greater peace of mind as well as saving time, money, and aggravation.
Customer Reviews:
Fluffy.......2006-06-29
On the plus side, this book was cheap and a quick read. However, I found very little tangible, useful information in it. Seemed to be mostly common sense stuff.
Not worth the time.......2005-11-29
"The Well-Ordered Office" is about techniques that can be used to reduce stress in your office. Author Kathleen Kendall-Tackett gives 50 techniques to get things under control.
I'll be honest... I didn't like this book. The title suggested to me that this book would be about specific office organization techniques like filing and equipment. However the author only gives a brief overview and ends up offering no help whatsoever. A good example is the chapter on good programs for your PDA where she only offers categories of programs and no specific programs whatsoever. Sure.... list management software could be helpful but only if you have a good program! Which one is the best!?!?!
The book also contains several "filler" chapter that I have no idea why they are in this book. Chapters such as "Travel safely and in style" and "Balancing work with the rest of your life" are completely unrelated to the title. If I want travel advice, I will get a book on traveling. If I want advice on how to balance my life, I'll get a book that deals with that topic, not a book that spends 2 pages on such a broad topic.
In summary, don't waste you time or money on this book. It isn't worth it. While there are 1 or 2 pieces on advice in this book, I would recommend "Getting Things Done" by David Allen instead. 2 out of 5 stars.
Well-Ordered Office Covers All the Bases.......2005-03-01
Any book can give tips for organizing your life, but The Well-Ordered Office gives you more. Because the author is a psychologist, Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett is also qualified to address the thoughts and feelings that work against our best intentions. In addition, she provides the tools for dealing with them so that we can get our life on track. On a more practical level, this short book covers an amazing range of specifics including: address books vs. PDAs, managing people and time, creating a portable office for traveling, getting rid of clutter, even office feng shui. Despite its small size, this book is incredibly comprehensive. Three cheers for The Well-Ordered Office!
A Fresh Look at Organizing Your Office........2005-02-17
I have attempted reading several books on how to organize my life or home in the hope that I would become more organized. In all honesty I have never finished any of the books due to them being too time consuming and boring. Not so with "The Well Ordered Office" it was very easy to read from beginning to end. I loved that each chapter although very informative was kept short and to the point.
Dr. Kendall -Tackett has managed to cover every issue of having a more efficient office. Many of the things that she has written about in this book are practical techniques that can be used in your home office. As a matter of fact this book motivated me to organize my home office as soon as I finished reading it.
I highly recommend "The Well Ordered Office" to anyone looking for a book that will be quick, entertaining and full of fresh new ideas about organizing your office.
Even I can do this!.......2005-02-04
I came home from work and got comfy on the couch with this book and some leftover Chinese. As I read, I could feel my shoulders come down from around my ears. My breathing slowed. I peacefully glided through the advice of this book while my psyche responded to the assurance that all was going to be well. I did not want to put it down to go to bed. I woke knowing that I was up to the task of getting my stuff in order, and ready to do it. I went looking for the book, and found it in my purse. I felt better knowing it was easily accessible. When I am done, it will live in my night-stand and go with me on trips. I brought it to work today because as soon as I have a few moments, I will be reading. It should be titled, "Tweak Your Life Towards Sanity." For those who have never known sanity, you will when you are done with this. Dr. Kendall-Tackett has delivered more than she promised.
