Student Laboratory Manual for Physical Examination and Health Assessment

Through exercises and questions, key terms, and regional write-up assessment forms, this workbook has been adapted to reflect the Canadian textbook. It can be used as a study guide to reinforce the content of the text and as a clinical tool in the laboratory setting.

· Purpose - a brief chapter summary, including learning objectives

· Reading Assignment - the corresponding chapter and page numbers from the Physical Examination and Health Assessment text

· Audio-Visual Assignment - the corresponding video assignment from the Saunders Physical Examination and Health Assessment DVD series

· Glossary – key terms from the textbook chapter, with accompanying definitions

· Study Guide - short-answer, fill-in-the-blank, and critical thinking questions; key anatomy illustrations are reproduced from the textbook for labeling exercises

· Review Questions - multiple-choice, matching, and short-answer questions, with an answer key

· Clinical Objectives – intended goals for assessment activities

· Regional Write-up Sheets - physical examination forms to use in the skills lab or clinical setting
