The practical nursing handbook you can use in the clinical setting! Pocket Companion for Physical Examination and Health Assessment, 4th Canadian Edition makes it fast and easy to look up essential assessment skills and techniques. This portable clinical guide helps you conduct more effective exams by referring to summaries of examination steps, normal versus abnormal findings, lifespan and multicultural considerations, and over 200 full-colour photos and illustrations. With added content on the electronic health record, charting, paediatrics, pregnant and aging adult patients, and reporting, this handbook is a perfect clinical tool whether you’re a beginner who is learning assessment skills or a practitioner who needs a portable reference!
