Synopsis:
Excellent assessment text for health care providers. "This is a must! It has great tips and is an easy read. I would highly recommend it."-Rose, Online Reviewer Perfect for nursing students. "Has great detail on the assessments and what steps to take. Love it!"-Samantha W., Online Reviewer A practical, real-world approach-focus on what's normal to identify abnormal. Here are all of the how-tos, what-tos, when-tos, and why-tos you need to master in a well-organized, well-illustrated text that makes the material easier to learn now... and reference later. First, it focuses on the normal and the normal variants of the adult, child, elderly, and pregnant patients seen most frequently in practice. Then, when a finding falls outside of those parameters, you'll be able to identify it as abnormal. Second, assessment is presented as a linear and consistent process, so you will always do the same steps in the same order, assuring that you don't miss anything.
