About the Book

This resource is a detailed "how-to" guide to history-taking and physical assessment, from the specific complaint to the performing of a complete "head-to-toe" physical examination. Organized by system, each chapter begins with a summary of the anatomy, and follows with a step-by-step explanation of the process used to assess that particular system. The process includes a list of equipment required, a discussion of complaints and symptoms, an illustrated explanation of physical assessment techniques employed, and a discussion of the nature and significance of normal and abnormal findings. An instructor's manual is also available, ISBN 0-7216-1468-X.
