Pocket Medicine is a good one to have, just buy it already you won't regret it!
You're talking about inpatient medicine, right?
Get yourself one of these pocket medicine books if you haven't already.
Don't just read anything for 30-45 minutes a day. Read about your patients. You're going to need to talk about their pathology, possible diagnoses, and treatment options in the coming days.
On presenting your patients - practice, practice, practice. Print out a template of things you want to go over in your presentation so you have something to follow. (I always tended to get off track or out of order if I didn't follow a set routine.)
A pocket medical guide that she can keep in her coat. AFAIK this is one of the best ones that doctors use.

This has everything you need to present and treat internal med patients, and that'll cover a large proportion of what you get on other rotations as well.
