Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It is a comprehensive skills manual
is designed for students and qualified NPs in health care who are learning to talk to patients, examine them, and to understand and assess
their problems. It deals with the health history, common and important symptoms, and the assessment of mental status. In sections devoted
to body regions and body systems, the book describes the sequence and techniques of physical examination, and helps the reader to identify
selected abnormalities. It emphasizes common or important problems (rather than the infrequent or esoteric) found in both adult and childhood
conditions. The sections are designed to help readers apply their knowledge to interpreting symptoms, examining the human body, and understanding
physical signs. It is an invaluable resource written specifically for Nurse Practitioners by Nurse Practitioners.
