Synopsis
This edition of a guide to physical assessment has been expanded to provide nursing students and practitioners with a handy reference for "health" assessment. It covers all aspects of health assessment, which reflects the current focus on holistic care. Normal findings and common deviations guide nurses in evaluation and diagnosis. "Nurse Alerts" highlight symptoms that might indicate a serious problem and offer guidance on how to avoid such problems. New to this edition is information on psychosocial, mental and nutrition assessment which prepares nurses to evaluate all aspects of health. BSI Alerts remind nurses when Body Substance Isolation precautions should be observed. There is also expanded paediatric and geriatric coverage which provides nurses with variations for these groups. Measuring tympanic membrane temperature is included to familiarize nusrses with the technique, and tips on the type of questions to ask when taking a patient's health history are provided.
