- Diagnostic Reasoning: Focused Physical Examination sections explain how to perform more advanced diagnostic techniques and interpret the findings
- Key Questions guide you through assessment and toward an accurate diagnosis by listing questions to ask the patient, followed by explanations of what the patient's responses might signify
- Laboratory and Diagnostic Studies sections outline the types of tests that might be appropriate based on the focused history and focused physical examination
