Take your students to the next step in health assessment! Advanced Health Assessment & Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care, 8th Edition, goes beyond the basic physical examination to help students learn to accurately evaluate common conditions. Organized by patient symptoms or complaints, the book follows a systematic approach beginning with a chief concern rather than a specific diagnosis or disease entity, then guides readers step-by-step through a diagnostic reasoning process to lead to a clinical diagnosis. This edition includes a new chapter on trauma-informed care, and content is updated throughout. An AJN award-winning text, this book helps your students learn to think like expert clinicians.
