Real-world primary care scenarios help your students develop clinical reasoning skills! Case Studies in Primary Care: A Day in the Office, 2nd Edition includes 50 case studies on the most commonly encountered situations in primary care. Demonstrating the range of health problems that a family or adult-gero practitioner might see during a typical day, case studies cover patients from various cultures and all ages. Students are asked to analyze data and think critically in reaching accurate diagnoses and planning treatment; they can then submit their responses online for grading and instant expert feedback.

    • Real-world scenarios offer students the opportunity to analyze clinical situations likely to be encountered in today's primary care settings, providing practice in clinical reasoning skills.
    • Six NEW cases are included (for a total of 50), with three focusing on older clients with more complex health challenges, one addressing unplanned pregnancy, and two addressing practice management issues.
    • NEW! Online answer submission allows students to write Assessment and Plan answers in the printed book, then submit answers online for grading and feedback, for personal review and remediation.
    • NEW! Updates to all cases ensure that case studies and feedback are consistent with the latest research evidence, clinical practice guidelines, and national and international treatment standards.
    • NEW! Grading rubrics are provided on the companion Evolve website to help students develop their answers and help instructors standardize grading.
    • NEW! Enhanced patient diversity includes cases for all age groups, and reflects a more contemporary appreciation of cultural diversity and gender/gender identity. 
    • NEW! Emphasis on follow-up care addresses patients coming to the primary care setting from retail clinics and other settings, rehabilitation settings, or acute-care settings, and underscores the importance of interprofessional collaboration.
    • Day in the Office format presents cases hour by hour, in the way a typical clinical day might unfold.
