About the Book

Make the most of your study time and maximize your health assessment skills! Health Assessment for Nursing Practice, 7th Edition focuses on what you need to know, providing easy-to-understand guidelines for an effective physical examination as well as preparation for the Next Generation NCLEX(R) Examination (NGN).
